The first finally had an answer, 50 years later.
Boone, N.C. (1972)
02/05/1972: The mother called a relative to report three
intruders in her home. When police arrived, mother, father, and son had been
strangled with nylon cord “while their heads were held under water in the
bathtub.” The sheriff told a reporter that “the identities of the three
suspects were known.” Fifty years later, police identified four men (three
already dead, the fourth already serving life for other offenses), members of the
“Dixie Mafia,” who were hired to do this. The son of the surviving murderer
told police of his father’s confession. They did not identify who hired them.

Portage, Ind. (1972)
02/07/1972: Three partners in a correspondence school, named
Biederman, Tobias, and Foley, took out $40,000 life insurance policies payable
to the school. They then all disappeared. A prospective buyer of an abandoned
motel found Biederman and Tobias shot to death outside. Police found Foley shot
to death in Biederman’s car in Gary. “Authorities said the murders looked like
the work of professionals.”
