On 4 March two men gathering brush discovered the decomposing body of Jackson in a ditch. He had been shot in the back of the head. His hands were also tied behind his back. Upon recovering the body, police discovered that Carroll had been dumped over that of eighteen-month-old Janet; it was later determined that the child had been dumped alive in the ditch before her father, and had suffocated under the weight of his body. On 21 March the bodies of Mildred and Susan were discovered in a forest near Annapolis showing signs of torture and pre-mortem sexual assault.

Double murderess Elizabeth Van Valkenburgh is executed by hanging at the age of 47 in Johnstown, New York, United States. Van Valkenburgh was hanged in an unusual way because of her broken leg and her obesity. She was carried to the gallows in her rocking chair and was rocking away when the trap was sprung.
