The cold case of Barbara and Patricia Grimes’ deaths
Barbara and Patricia Grimes were sisters whose death were widely covered in media but remained a mystery even today. They went out to watch a movie on December 28, 1956 but never came back home. They were found dead on January 22, 1957. Autopsy reports showed they died of hypothermia, but nothing on the reports said anything about the bruises and wounds they sustained, including holes that might have been from an ice pick stab.The authorities also found out that Barbara had been raped before she was killed. Benny Bedwell, a homeless man, was suspected and confessed, but later retracted his statement, saying that he was coerced by police officers to make the confession.
