315. Horror in St. Louis Hills: Ellen Dooling and Gary Consolino


Listen Later

The neighborhood of St. Louis Hills was quiet that evening in November 1980. The leaves were turning as winter was making its way in. John Dooling was suddenly jolted awake by a loud sound. Was it A scream? Or had he imagined it? He immediately thought of his 18-year-old daughter, Ellen. Ellen had gone on a date that night. She should have been home by now. John threw off the covers and moved to the window, peeling back the curtain. That’s when he saw a blue Oldsmobile Cutlass idling in front of the house. The car wasn’t moving. He grabbed his robe and stepped outside. Something was wrong. It was Ellen; she was slumped over in the car.John yanked the door open when he saw her face. He screamed so loudly that it would surely wake the neighbors in the 6200 block of Walsh Street. Ellen Dooling and her date, 20-year-old Gary Consolino, never left the car alive. They had been shot—executed—right there in front of her parents' home. There were no signs of a struggle. No shattered glass. There are no desperate claw marks on the door handles. The car hadn’t been ransacked. Their wallets and jewelry remained untouched.

This crime should have been solved so easily, but it was not.

Justice should have brought at least some comfort to both of their families, but it did not.
