So it's very possible to imagine that the killer had the knife on him, but also discovered that Jessica had a butcher knife on her and used it against her. It really makes me wonder if Jessica had any opportunity to cut her killer. Could his DNA have been on that dock? At this point, we don't know. But back to the autopsy.

Blood is congealed all over her face, especially around a nasty wound to her left eye and brow. Her throat is the site of the worst carnage. Her throat is sliced almost ear to ear, measuring six inches. The medical examiner found that her throat had been stabbed once and sustained six superficial incisions. The other most notable wound is to her abdomen.

The ME notes that this is a stab wound incision, measuring six inches across and gapes approximately five inches. Loops of her small intestines protrude through this wound. There are defensive wounds on her hands and a laceration on her right cheek. There's also a post-mortem one-inch cut on her earlobe, which might be why her earring was found on the dock.

All in all, Jessica sustained five stab wounds and nine incisions. The medical examiner determined that there was no evidence of forcible rape. However, when Jessica's underwear was tested, they found evidence of semen on the outside of her underwear. This was compared against DNA profiles for Tony Sanborn and Jessica's boyfriend George. Both men were not a match.

Of note, a small curly hair was found between the fingers of Jessica's left hand. Another hair was found trapped between her breasts and bra. Now let's look at Barbara Agnew. I haven't seen any photos of Agnew, but I do have her autopsy report. And if you overlay Jessica Briggs' autopsy diagram over Barbara Agnew's, they would superimpose. Their wounds are an exact match.

Barbara's neck sustained multiple incisions and stabs. There were complex intersecting incisions and stabs to her upper abdomen. That means she was partially eviscerated, just like Jessica. This is chilling stuff. Barbara Agnew and Linda Moore are the only victims attributed to the Valley Killer, whose bodies were preserved enough when discovered to really understand what kind of wounds were made.

The rest of the victims were found skeletal, but neck marks on bones tell us that Betsy Critchley, Bernice Cordomash, and Eva Morse all had their necks stabbed and cut. Likewise, Jane Borowski sustained the worst knife wounds to her neck. She still has the scars to prove it. Did the Connecticut River Valley Killer attack Jane and then get spooked when she survived?

We know that he didn't strike again in the Upper Valley after 1988. But could he have moved his operation to Maine? There are at least six murders in Maine that Amy Fairfield and John Philpin have loosely linked to the Connecticut River Valley Killer.

These are the homicides of Roseanne Consolvi in 1979, Alice Hawks in 87, Pamela Webb in 89, Shirley McEvoy in 1990, Angela Thomas just a month later, and Susan Hanna in 1992. If some or all of these cases are connected, then we're looking at a body count of at least 14 victims and a hunting ground that expands out of the Upper Valley and into southern Maine.

What I can say is that we're looking for a suspect who might live in the Upper Valley, but has ties to Maine. It's mid-December, just before Christmas. I'm up in Vermont to do some of my last interviews. And I'm eating breakfast in a lovely little diner in Heartland. And I get a phone call from April. She tells me that Barry and Linda, Heidi's parents, want to meet with me.
