Summary

Two women who lived in the same city, shared the same name, and even looked alike with dark hair and similar haircuts were murdered just four days apart. Mary Lou Henderson Morris and Mary McGinnis Morris were both reported missing by their families and found dead inside their cars hours later; neither were robbed, and both cases are still unsolved. Were these murders an eerie coincidence? Did someone target them both, or was this a case of mistaken identity that led to the “wrong” Mary Morris being killed by a hitman?
