Suspects remain elusive in the case of three Woonsocket women found strangled to death between December 1990 and March 1991. Local police report that 32-year-old Dianne Goulet, 18-year-old Christine Miller, and 23-year-old Wendy Madden all died in similar fashion, all with records of arrest on drug and prostitution charges. A report issued on March 22, 1991, declared that authorities were examining certain unspecified links in the series of murders, but no further leads have been announced since that date, and the case remains open.


Have any of you all by chance heard of any updates on that? The book was published a few years back (it actually lists the BTK murders as unsolved), so I'm unsure if anything has surfaced since then. I doubt they're related to the Picard/Laferte case as the profiles of the victims and the killer's MO don't match up between the two, although I guess it's still possible Raymond Tempest could have done it. I know it's kind of obscure, but given the websleuthing abilities on this board I thought I'd put it out there.


Also....what the heck is up with Woonsocket?

Hi, my name is Tracy and Wendy was my cousin. I just finished reading your post about unsolved murders. The book seems like a nice read. However there are alot of facts left out when it comes to my cousins murder. Wendy did stay in Woonsocket, RI for a brief period prior to her murder. She lived there with her mother. Wendy was not killed in Woonsocket. In fact her body was found in Pawtucket, RI. She was found behind a dumpster just a few blocks away from my uncle's, (her Fathers) home. There was no denying Wendy did have a drug problem and may very well have turned to prostitution. If she was prostituting prior to her murder, She was never arrested for it. Check www.courts.state.ri.us/ you will not find any record of an arrest for prostitution.(or anything else).
At the time of her murder, The BTK was active. I do not believe he was the actual killer of my cousin. My uncle was told wendy was killed by a "serial killer". All the family believes this was a way for the authorities to look the other way and write off her murder because the local authorities did not feel her death was worth investigating.
My uncle died with this knowledge. He also died knowing his youngest child's body was found a few blocks away from his home. My cousin and I were very close as teens and it still bothers me that no real police work was ever done to investigate her death. Not even her boyfriend was interviewed.
I have tried looking for information on Wendy's murder over the past 21 years and have been unable to find anything. Do you have any suggestions? my email is preciousmonkey2@yahoo.com
thankyou for your time,
Tracy
