Robert Zarinksy Part 2

from Almost Fiction · host 11:59 Media

When Officer Charles Bernoskie was gunned down during a routine patrol in 1958, his murder went unsolved for decades, protected by a family's deadly silence. This is the conclusion to the story of Robert Zarinsky, a serial killer who terrorized New Jersey communities throughout the 1960s and 70s, leaving behind a trail of young women who simply seemed to just vanish without a trace. This gripping tale reveals how one mother's obsession with appearances and family loyalty created a monster, how DNA evidence finally connected decades-old cold cases, and why some victims' families waited over 40 year Sources: https://murderpedia.org/male.Z/z/zarinsky-robert-deadly-secrets.htm Suspected serial killer Robert Zarinsky dies in prison.
