Linda Childers

Template:UID"Lorraine Stahl" was an alias of a woman found deceased in 1974. She also used the names Sandy and Connie.

Case

On May 30,1974, the Connecticut State Police received 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 robber 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.

Two men have been apprehended for their 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.   

Physical Description

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. Investigators believe that she may have relatives from Tennessee, West Virginia or the Carolinas.
