This story gives the names of the victims. For those who live in or around Bayshore, 2 of them are people who have lived there for years. Colleen Martin (Kelley) who I graduated High School with, and Norma Kelley, who I assume is her mother.

I wonder if Mr. Roderick was raised in this area?

Yes, Mr. Roderick was raised in the area. I grew up with him in North Bayshore.

Thanks, I thought he did. I knew more of the older kids in the family. I might be wrong but I would say he isone of the youngest in the family.

Yes, you're right...he was the youngest son.
