#bricca family

[elisabethloxx]

On September 27th 1966, two concerned neighbors went to the Bricca residence after no one had seen them in a couple of days. The lights were on and the dogs were barking but no one was answering. After the neighbors opened the door, a foul smell was immediately detected. Sensing the worse, they notified authorities. Inside the house, the bodies of Jerry Bricca, his wife Linda and their daughter Debbie were found. They had each been stabbed multiple times in what was described as a gruesome scene. The murders were believed to have taken place on September 25th.

Nearly 60 years later, this crime is still being investigated. Multiple theories have emerged but no one was ever charged, no motive was ever determined and the murder weapon was never discovered.

On the morning of September 25, 1966, Jerry Bricca, a 28-year-old chemical engineer, left his residence in Cincinnati to head to work. Around 8PM, after making a quick stop to buy some milk, he returned to the house he shared with his 23-year-old wife, Linda, and their 4-year-old daughter, Debbie. Upon his arrival, he realized it was garbage collection day, so he braved the pouring rain to take the trash bin to the curb outside their family home. A neighbor recalls a brief conversation with Jerry before he re-entered his house.

However, what unfolded inside the Bricca home that night remains a disturbing and unsolved mystery. Two days later, when Jerry failed to appear at a scheduled business meeting, the gruesome discovery was made - the entire Bricca family had been brutally murdered within their home. According to the autopsy report, Jerry had suffered nine stab wounds, Linda eight, and little Debbie four, with each stab penetrating her small body.

Despite an extensive investigation, the case remains unresolved to this day.

Does anybody have any random encounters or connections to famous murderers? The vet my mom and grandmother used to take their pets to was the prime suspect in the triple homicide of the Bricca family (sort of a big deal in Cincinnati), and one of the victims actually worked at his practice for a time. He was never charged but a lot of evidence points to him.

Mystery Monday

Welcome to Mystery Monday my Fellow Book Dragons! This week’s Gem is very dark in color, brooding and still half hidden in a piece of the very stone it was found in. The Gem itself it quite fragile and should the work be done hastily, could result in the whole piece splintering, this piece must come complete if the work it to make sense. It is not black, but rather opaque, we see bits and pieces of shapes inside but can make out nothing in full, only shadow. Is it what it seems to be, or something else? This is Gem Maker J.T. Townsend’s “Summer’s Almost Gone: The Bricca Family Murders”. J.T. Townsend was just a boy the summer the Bricca family died at the hands of a cold-blooded killer, but it became his life’s obsession to see this case solved. Jerry, Linda and young Debbie should have been enjoying a quiet evening at home, instead someone came into their quiet neighborhood and slaughtered all three. This was not the type of thing to happen in an upper middle class neighborhood. A neighborhood where neighbors watched each other’s property and whether one liked it or not, they watched each other. They gossiped, but they also cared. If for no other reason than what effected one household, might well affect them all. Especially that summer. The Summer of 1966 had been a nerve wracking one for Cincinnati. A man dubbed “The Cincinnati Strangler” was on the loose, raping, strangling and killing elderly women. People were locking doors who had never felt the need to do so before. Women were getting rides home and not walking alone if the had to do so. Mr. Townsend does a fantastic job of letting us feel the tension, the claustrophobia of a city in the grip of fear. Remember, the city is extremely hot in summer, as all cities are, but in 1966 air conditioning wasn’t always readily available. People slept with windows open or window fans in. Some neighborhoods were known for being safer than others. That summer, no one felt completely safe. Townsend reviews all the evidence he could get access to. He interviewed many people involved in the case over the years and he has put it all in this book. I had read short articles on the Bricca case over the years, but never anything as extensive as this. Crime scene photos, police reports, Bricca family photos..it’s all here. Townsend has out done many of the true crime writers of today. This reminds me of the old True Crime writers. Spot on Mr. Townsend. If you love true crime and love a mystery..Summer’s Almost Gone is definitely for you. It is available at your favorite book store online. Until tomorrow, as always I remain, your humble Book Dragon, Drakon T. Longwitten

Linda and Jerry Brecca on their wedding day, 25 November, 1961. Less than 5 years later they would both be murdered in their home along with their daughter, Debbie.

"It was an impromptu wedding, thrown together and sparsely attended before Linda’s pregnancy began to show. She was 2-1/2 months along with Debbie, and this ceremony was mostly for the parents. Linda later told a friend that she and Jerry had previously married in a Seattle civil ceremony so she could keep her airline stewardess job. But she would be terminated on November 4th, after experiencing nausea on a flight that was obviously “morning sickness.”"
