Hitchhiking Sisters Found Dead in Florida Keys
In 1973, two sisters from New Jersey set out for the trip of their young lives. They wanted to experience spring break in the exotic and southernmost vacation spot in America, Key West, Florida. Together, they embarked on the long bus ride down the East Coast and spent several fun weeks with friends – both old and new.
And even though they reportedly had been wired the money to take a return bus home, the sisters decided to hitchhike for the experience – a decision that cost them their lives.
