157 years separated the two murders.

Those were Barbara Forrest and Mary Ashford’s murders.

They were both born on the same day, at the age of 20.

On May 27, they both planned to go dancing, although they were 157 years apart.

Both had dressed up, were heading to a dance, and were meeting a friend there.

And both had admitted to others that they would experience dread in the days before they died.

In a park, both were discovered dead and battered. the same location.

In 1974, Barbara Forrest was discovered here.
