Killers Convicted but Real Name of Victim Still Unknown
HTML https://i.imgur.com/gUVjLii.jpg
It was May 30, 1974 when the Connecticut State Police went to a
house on Shewville Road in the then quiet town of Ledyard. They
had been given a tip about two murders and dug up a shallow
grave in a wooded area behind the house. The decomposed bodies
of a man and a woman were found. The man was successfully
identified as convicted bank robber, Gustavous Lee Carmichael.
Carmichael was a serial bank and had even escaped custody from
jail. He and the woman (who was his girlfriend) used the
aliases, Dirk and Lorraine Stahl before their murders on
December 31, 1970.
Richard DeFreitas and Donald Brant were convicted of the
murders. The reason why they killed the two was a result of
concerns that the unidentified woman (Lorraine Stahl) would
divulge details of the illegal activities of Carmichael’s.
The victim is described as being in her early twenties with red
hair. She was about five foot one and between 110 and 115
pounds. Police believe that she may have been from either New
York or possibly from Maine. She may have also driven a 1964
Green Oldsmobile with either Massachusetts or Maine plates.
Pictured above is a ring found on the female victim. If you know
who this unidentified female is, please contact the Connecticut
Medical Examiner at 860-679-3980. As of June 2012, Defreitas is
still alive and serving a life sentence in prison.
