Watkins Review News Today : Breaking News, Live Updates & Top Stories | Vimarsana

Most may think serial killer Edward Ruloff is just about the only dark blemish in the history of the Finger Lakes region. However, there is a new book that reveals more sinister stories from the Finger Lakes’ past. Murder & Mayhem in the Finger Lakes explores lesser known crimes that took place in the 19th and 20th centuries in the counties that surround the Finger Lakes. Author Rikki Marcin said she came up with the idea of writing the book from her archival work for her job with the Watkins Review and Express. “My job was to go through the papers from 125, 150 years ago, and often the old newspapers would include a short paragraph about a murder that took place in another county,” Marcin said. “It piqued my interest. I noticed that there really aren’t any resources about these murders other than the old newspapers. So I thought it would be a good idea to assemble these into a book once I gathered enough information on the subjects.”
