On October 19, 1997, 13-year-old Maryann Jeanine Measles[2] was abducted from the parking lot of a New Milford, Connecticut shopping center, while waiting for her mother.

[6] The group included Keith Foster, Dorothy Hallas, Maggie Mae Bennett, Alan Walter, Jeffrey Boyette, Ronald Rajcok, Deaneric Dupas, and June Segar.

In the months leading up to the murder, Maryann had been involved sexually with some of the men in the crew, including Alan Walter and Keith Foster.

Cyndi Measles picked Maryann up but needed to stop for milk and bread at the nearby Big Y[14] at Veterans Plaza.

[15] As Maryann waited in the parking lot for her mother to finish her errand, she was approached by Ronald Rajcok, who forced her into his Pontiac Trans Am.

[17] After a search of about nine months, Maryann's body was found near a boat launch at Lake Lillinonah in Bridgewater, Connecticut, where it connects to the Housatonic.

[10] In 2002, authorities announced the arrests of eight people for the killing of Measles,[19] including Jeffrey Boyette, who had since relocated to Texas,[8] and needed to be extradited to face charges.

Foster's girlfriend, Dorothy Halls, was charged with and pleaded guilty to felony murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree kidnapping, and risk of injury to a minor.

As part of a plea bargain, June Segar was found guilty of felony murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree kidnapping, and tampering with a witness.
