One that stands out to me was the The Wat Promkunaram Buddhist temple Murders. 9 Murdered and is the biggest Mass Slaying in AZ History.

Thanks for that link. I remember the New Times article that's referenced in there. Ed Tovrea and his then wife lived in the Arcadia area in the 60's... Hap Tovrea and my brother were classmates/friends, he was a nice young man-- who knew then that his family's lives would turn out as they did.

That was awful. I still remember that day and the eleven days of agony. I lost an amazing father and my mom lost an amazing husband. I hope the killers rot in hell.

I have a few pics from my FB page that I saved





Dad resting in Florence, NJ



Dad at work



A year after the murder. Im the geeky one on the floor in glasses.



By the way, mom donated the car to the Newseum in DC.
