On December 16, 1985, 56-year-old Carol Drake was the co-owner of the business and 39-year-old Terry Shimizu (who also went by Terry Fox) were working. She was co-owner of an Adult bookstore, and an Adult Video club and a Family World amusement-video store. All three were housed in the same building and neighbored each other in Wahiawa, Hawaii.
The Adult-Video Club section of the Book Store was locked. Employees of the other stores noticed and began to worry. By 1:50 p.m. the doors were kicked down as they had been locked. In the rear office, the bodies of Carol and Terry had been found.
Both women had been stabbed once. Carol har been stabbed in the heart and Terry was stabbed in the throat. Both victims were fully clothed and did not show signs of sexual assault. It's believed that the women were kneeling or laying on the ground at the time of the attack.
It is possible the motive for murder may have been robbery as cash receipts from the day was missing and an envelope with an undisclosed amount of money seemed to have been dropped on the floor.
Six months before Gail Purdy a former employee had died to the Honolulu Strangler. At this point, it isn't believed they were murdered by the same person.

I am curious as to why anyone would think this is a fun mystery or Urban Legend. I dont see any humor in this type of posting. As the eldest child of Terry, its offensive to see information like this being posted. I would ask that this be taken down, please.
ReplyDeleteThis is not a blog only dedicated to Urban Legends and Fun Mysteries, but is dedicated to many mysteries. I did not realize my description above did not involve murder mysteries with the missing and unidentified. I do not find any of the more serious mysteries I post on here to be "fun" or the such. This blog is dedicated to mysteries in general that's why I posted that as my banner and I'll change it so it doesn't seem as offensive or misunderstood. I do post more Unsolved murders than anything to put more information about them out, but if you want me to delete it after my explanation I will.
