Pursuit of Girard Linked to Pfeiffer, Hammond Murders
Police believe Joseph Girard, already a suspect in the Pfeiffer case, may be linked to three killings. Detectives expanded searches to ships and coastlines, with a posse marching into the Spitzbergen mountains near Peekskill to trap the suspect. A newspaper clipping tied to the Pfeiffer case was found in Girard’s boarding house room, suggesting a broader crime trail across New York and Hudson River areas.
