The bodies of two women were found within 300 yards of each other, raped and strangled. The only thing is, the murders occurred 157 years apart. With many uncanny similarities one cannot look at the one without considering the other. In both cases, the women were 20 years old, in fact, they had the same birthday. In both cases, a man by the name of Thornton was arrested and later acquitted.
