  2. I remeber this as it was yesterday, Danielle & Renee were friends.We met at P.W.P I remember there mother was from the same state as we were from and seemed very nice she suffered a very tragic loss I have pictures of them in my memories. I was 13 at the time and I can still remember the night before that was spent with them an the smiles on their faces,There are no pictures because its not something anyone who knew them wants to remember,Those who knew them have the memories and pictures,I did not know the boy but his family and freinds also suffered, I still think of them very often and there mom thought several times of maybe contacting her but dont want her to have to relive any of the past but BOSTON your in my thoughts

  3. I have not been able to find any pictures online of the poor unfortunate victims of this horrible crime, I am watching a documentary about it on Discovery ID channel right now. After searching for some pics of the girls and the one boy, the victims, online, I have found nothing, Does anyone know where I can see a picture of the teens? The show has not concluded yet, but i sure hope it is gonna tell me the murderer of these poor kids got caught and is never going to get outta prison. That is usually how these shows end… hopefully this one especially will too.
    Does anyone know where I can see what the teens looked like? Pics?

        • Jaie,

          If you check out my blog, you will see that it is geared towards remembering the victims. I do not allow negative comments about the victims, just want them to be remembered. I am the daughter of a murder victim, so I despise seeing murderers glorified.

        • Wow I’m sooooooo sorry for your loss Jaie!!!!! Your brother John was a very handsome guy. He looked like a good friend of mine that passed away. My friend was a very loving, honest,caring, and a very good listener. Your brother looked like he would be as well. I have had a lot of death in my life but none the way your brother went. I’m very very sorry for your loss <3<3<3

  6. If you like I have searched and found a few photos for you id you like please let me know where you want me to send them for you also its sad to see such a viscous crime happen to such young and innocent people and this animal probably knew about his disease at the time and I think if he did get away with it it would have been the start of serial killer thinking his Hepatitis was to get revenge for a disease he should never have got so he was going to retaliate his own sick way.
    God Bless the young kids that paid for something they didn’t even know why.

  9. i lived in arlington when this happened and remember the horror i felt when i heard about this tragedy. is it for sure that Trimboli died in prison? i had a cousin and his wife that were murdered in Arlington in 1976 but sadly both of the convicted people got out of prison WAY early because they participated in one of the ‘i did drugs but now i’m clean’ programs/documentary. RIP Danielle, Renee, and John. You are ALL still remembered!!

  10. Hi, I am so sorry for the families and friends of the victims. Indeed, I would love to donate funds to a reputable “victims organization”, that either seeks justice, and or provides moral and financial support to affected families. The criminals usually are well cared for.

    • Danielle and I became friends while she was visiting family for the summer in El Paso, TX in either ‘84 or ‘85. The news of what happened
      crushed me and the other neighborhood kids, but it’s even more heartbreaking looking back as an adult. This note is simply a reminder to who ever reads it that even though years have passed, I think of her.

  14. What happened to Mrs. Lemieux? Was she able to survive this tragedy? Did she move on, remarry? My heart breaks for both her and Mrs. Bradley. I don’t know if I could survive losing a child to murder, let alone losing my only two daughters. I hope both women have somehow, by the grace of God, found peace.

  16. Just watched this show on the id channel. Why didn’t this triple murderer get the death penalty? Especially in of all places Texas! Also this had to be one of the first cases where dna played a part.

  18. I lived across the street from Danielle and Renee before their parents divorced off Little Rd. I was a year younger than Renee and we played a lot. I had walked with her to Young Jr. High to register for school or pick up a class schedule that summer. My best friend lived a few doors down too and she was Danielle’s age and they were close also. We kept in touch after they moved to an apartment for a bit as we also happened to have our babysitter in the same complex and then they moved to Miguel Ln. I still have pictures of both the girls at my birthday party and 30+ years later still think about them and what happened 😦
