Murders of Jessica Watson and Mathew Macerato

On the night of December 26, 2004, 22-year-old Jessica Watson and 18-year-old Mathew Macerato were working the closing shift at the Casual Male Big and Tall at 3924 Kirkwood Highway in Wilmington, Delaware. As the two were closing up someone with a gun appeared and forced the two into the basement. The person would then shoot the two to death by shooting them in the back of the head. They would then take the money in the store. It's unknown what exactly happened in the store as there were no security cameras. 

The families of the victims don't believe that robbery was the sole reason for the murders. They believe it wasn't a random act as instead of bringing the two to the register and killing them there the killer brought them to the basement. Also, nothing in the store seemed to have been ransacked. It seemed that the stolen money was a way to cover up the reason for the executions.
