Today we talk about a Valentine’s Day murder of a mother and her children which is sometimes referred to as the “Lonely Hearts Murders”.
On February 14, 1985 Cassandra Rundle and her two children were found brutally murdered in their Colorado Springs home. In the months before her death, Cassandra had taken out personal ads in a local newspaper. She received more than 80 responses and made contact with several men, but no evidence could be found to link any of them to the murders. Years later Police looked at a former soldier named Philip E. Wilkinson, who is currently sitting on death row in North Carolina for the 1992 triple slaying of a mother and her two children. Even though that crime had so many similarities to the Rundle murders, 39 years later the murders of Cassandra and her children remain unsolved.
If you have any information about this case, please contact the Colorado Springs Police Department at (719) 444-7000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
