On November 8, 1954 at 6:15 p.m. 14-year-old Carolyn Wasilewski left her home in Baltimore, Maryland to go to her friend Peggy's home. The two planned to register for dance lessons at the nearby elementary school. She would never show up at Peggy's home, register for dance lessons, or return home.
At 7 a.m. on November 9, 1954 Carolyn's body was found in a rail yard under the Belvedere Avenue Bridge by an engineer on the Pennsy Express Train bound to Baltimore from Harrisburg Pennsylvania. She was not killed at the scene she was either tossed off of the bridge or dragged down to where she was found.
She was partially naked and had been beaten to death. She had fought back her attacker as she had broken one of her fingers. She was not sexually assaulted. Her skirt and shoes were missing . On her right thigh the name "Paul" was found written in lipstick. It was found that she had died at 11 p.m.

Not far from her family's home bloodstains and some of her stuff were found including her shoes. This was 8 miles from the tracks.
Carolyn was the oldest of seven children and was known to be a rebel. She joined a gang called the Drapes and known to commit petty crimes like auto theft and hosting hot rod races. She was often mistaken as someone in their late 20's to early 30's. She knew how to dress herself up to do look like she was.
Her case remains unsolved.
