Task force on the hunt for serial killer

NEW BRITAIN — Diane Cusack was a beloved sister.
Joyvaline “Joy” Martinez was an aunt who adored her niece and nephews.
Mary Jane Menard was a mother who also left a mark on the local substance abuse community she sought to help.
The New Britain Serial Murder Task Force, consisting of federal, state and local agencies, is working to identify a serial killer who left the remains of all three women behind a plaza at 593 Hartford Road more than a decade ago. New Britain Police Chief James Wardwell, who was the lead investigator on the case from 2007 to 2012, contended for years that the women weren’t just faceless, nameless, “Jane Does.”
“These cases are near and dear to my heart,” Wardwell said in 2012. “I came up through the ranks investigating their deaths and I feel as strongly today about giving them justice as I did that day out in the woods five years ago. Our dedication has not diminished.”
Family members gathered solemnly at police headquarters to support Wardwell’s public plea for help in finding the killer.

Howell: A fateful freedom?
Posted: Wednesday, May 20, 2015 10:09 pm

A month after William Devin Howell was released from a Connecticut jail in late 2002, the first of several people from the area disappeared.

[...]
Those people joined three others whose partial skeletons were found in the same wooded area in August 2007 — Joyvaline Martinez, Diane Cusack and Mary Jane Menard — the same week Howell was sentenced to 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to first-degree manslaughter in Arizmendi’s death.

Like Camilini and Arizmendi, the other four identified people found buried or dumped at the site disappeared in 2003. Arizmendi was last seen getting into Howell’s van in late July of that year. He left Connecticut in early November and was arrested by North Carolina authorities later that month.

[...]
Sources have said Howell is considered the lone suspect in the case.
