It may be one of the highest-profile crimes the Valley has ever seen. A pair of young women were shot and killed 41 years ago at High's Ice Cream store in Staunton.

Police never found the person responsible, but according to family members of the victims, that has changed.

Connie Hevener and Carolyn Perry lost their lives in April 1967. Family members now say it was a female coworker of theirs who's responsible for the killings even though leads in the case were scarce at the time.

The store is no longer at Terry Court in Staunton, but the memory of this crime has lasted 41 years.

Family members declined to speak on camera until the Staunton Police Department files charges.

However one family member did say, "You hope that this is the right person, to give closure to what really happened."

The two women were sisters-in-law and worked at the store. Perry had a daughter who was two years old at the time.

Family members say a person came forward this summer with information that ultimately led police to find the woman believed to be responsible.

One family member says he was told by police that the suspect in the case has confessed to the killings.

A family member of the women says, "It's probably still the biggest thing that happened here."

They went on to say about solving the case that "it would give some kind of closure to the family and the community."

According to family members, one of the complicating factors in this case is that the woman believed to be responsible is now gravely ill and she may not be able to stand trial.

So far, Staunton Police Chief Jim Williams is only saying the department has indeed received new information. However, no additional information is being release in the case.
