Brigadier General Peter Olenchuk's military career came with controversy from the 1960s to the 1970s, which could have put his entire family at risk. In August of 1970, his youngest daughter Mary Catherine Olenchuk was just 13 years old when she was taken from Ogunquit, Maine. Less than two weeks later her body would be found just nine miles away from where she was last seen. Was this a crime of retaliation against her high-ranking military official or was this horrible murder a crime of opportunity, or could it even be the work of a serial killer? Those questions have plagued this small town for decades. Who killed Mary Catherine Olenchuk?
