Photo of Florence Eyssalenne

On 600 block of 3rd St. SE at the Capitol Hill Apartments in Washington, D.C. two women were murdered in an apartment building. The two apartments were next to each other, and neither were broken into. It seemed that the suspect either knew the victims or somehow was allowed in the homes. He would sexually assault the women and strangle them to death. It wasn't until 2022 that DNA connected the two cases. The DNA belongs to a man believed to be Black. 

Around 9 am on October 27, 1985, 23-year-old Florence Eyssalenne's body would be found dead in her apartment. She was raped and strangled to death. 

At 12:20 pm on May 13, 1987, 35-year-old Gretta Rainey's girlfriend Roxanne Johnson became concerned for her. Gretta was not answering the phone when she called. So Roxanne would come to the apartment with a coworker and would find Gretta's body. She had been raped and strangled to death.

Psychic Phenomenon: Linda Babb




In early 1987 Dirk and Linda were preparing to adopt a baby to love and raise. On the night of March
7th, Linda would dream of a woman giving birth. The baby would have dark hair and a dark complexion. She would wake up to see that she woke up at 2:59 a.m. The couple would receive a call 6 weeks later as a child was eligible to be adopted. 

When Linda first saw her son she remembered the dream. He had looked exactly like that baby and she would find out that when she woke up to the dream when he was born. Around 18 months later Linda would see a photo of her son with his birth mother. She would realize that she was the same woman in the dream. 

Was it a strange coincidence or was Linda connecting with her son.
