Shortly after dawn on March 26, 1887, four brothers made a gruesome discovery. Alfred, Frank, Thomas, and Irving Worth were on their way to work at Bloodgood's Mills when they came across the body of a young woman in Rahway, New Jersey. She was frozen into the ground, and her throat had been slashed in two places, nearly from ear to ear. Both of her hands had been lacerated. Her head, buried deep into the icy mud, had been mangled and bruised, and was surrounded by a pool of blood almost three inches deep.
