Is There A Connection Between the Disappearances and Deaths of these Women in New Haven?   Evelyn Frisco was forty two years old, when she was last seen in New Haven of June 2004. The New Haven resident had not had an easy life, she battled substance abuse issues, served prison time for criminal offenses and was at times a prostitute. Law Enforcement and members of her family believe she is dead and probably a victim of foul play. According to her family, Frisco had given information to the New Haven Police that led to an arrest of a drug dealer. The family believes that someone could have paid Frisco back. One of Frisco’s friendss was a woman named Lisa Calvo. Calvo was also a prostitute who battled substance abuse issues. She was last seen in October of 2005. New Haven Police have released a statement indicating if the two disappearances were connected. At the time of her last sighting, Frisco had blue eyes, blonde hair, weighed 125 pounds and was 5 foot 2. She has a tattoo of a butterfly or a rose on her shoulder, a scar on her leg and she wore upper dentures. Calvo was 4 foot 11 and weighed 110 pounds. She had brown hair and eyes and had tattoos on her right leg and thigh. Calvo was forty years old at the time of her last sighting.
Another case of a woman with substance abuse issues was that of Cassandra Mead of East Haven. She was found strangled to death in late August of 2011 at Union and Water Street. What is unusual is that the area is a block away from the New Haven Police Department. The 21 year old had a criminal past and had suffered from Bi-Polar disorder. The murder was particularly brazen because it is near the downtown and so close to a police presence. If you have any information about any of these cases please call 203-946-6316. |

Are there Similarities in the Disappearances of Three Young Men? Three men ranging from the ages of 19 to 24 mysteriously disappear in different towns during the nineteen eighties. Keith Lalima was a father of a young child who lived with his girlfriend at his mother's house. On May 7th 1981, he had an argument with an individual outside the Maple Green Cafe in Norwich. He was last seen walking in the direction of where he lived, the nightclub he was last seen at was located at Maple Street and West Main Street.

Charles Lassell Jr, was nineteen years old when he was last seen at the intersection of Coogan Boulevard and Jery Browne Road in the town of Stonington. He was waiting for a bus to take him to college. He never did take the bus and the last person to see him alive was his father on October 27, 1981.

murder in Greenwich has received more national attention than the
disappearance of ten year old Connie Smith. During July 16th, 1952, the
young Wyoming girl who was staying at Camp Sloane in Salisbury had
wandered from the campgrounds after some rough play with fellow campers.
She was seen heading for the village of Lakeville walking along Route 44
in Salisbury, thumb extended looking for a ride. That was the last
recollection anyone has had of the young camper being alive. Following the
disappearance, there was a massive manhunt. Police scoured the New York/
Connecticut border for clues and her possible remains. Police also had
numerous potential suspects which included the camp cook, the camp
caretaker, nearby workers and deliverymen. Eventually the case went
national on the Art Linkletter show and while it garnered much needed
publicity for the case, it produced many dead end leads and false
confessions. Now fifty years later, there is still no trace of Connie
Smith. Her father still ever hopeful, never gave up on trying to find her
alive. Author Michael Dooling recently wrote a book about her disappearance named,
