The Murder of Kathleen Flynn (Connecticut)
from Dark Downeast · host Audiochuck
For nearly 40 years, Kathleen Flynn’s murder has haunted Norwalk, Connecticut. She was 11 years old, newly in middle school, walking home on a familiar path when she was attacked and killed. Her case became one of the state’s most well-known cold cases, the kind people never stopped talking about, and the kind investigators kept returning to as forensic science moved forward. In 2019, after decades of waiting, police finally made an arrest. And in 2026, it looked like Kathy’s family might finally see the case reach a verdict. But then, just days into trial, a single email threatened to undo that long-awaited progress. Now, the question is no longer just what happened to Kathy, but what happens next. Kathleen Flynn’s case is still open. Anyone with information should contact Lieutenant Art Weisgerber at the Norwalk Police Department. You can call him directly at 203-854-3028 or email [email protected].
