On June 26, 1957[1], Margaret Harold, a Maryland resident, was out with her boyfriend in Annapolis, VA on a date. While driving, they were forced off the road by another car. The other driver, a dark haired man, came up to Margaret in the driver’s seat and asked her for money and cigarettes. When Margaret refused to give the dark man anything, he became irate and pulled out a gun and shot Margaret in the head. Margaret’s boyfriend was so shocked and terrified that he immediately jumped out of the car and began running through nearby fields until he found a farmhouse. When Margaret’s boyfriend reached the farmhouse, he was able to call the police. While Margaret’s boyfriend ran through the fields, the dark haired man opened the car door and brutally raped Margaret’s dead corpse. The man left just before the cops arrived at the scene. As the cops were searching the mysterious dark haired killer, they came across a building with a broken in basement window. The cops went into the basement in hopes of finding Margaret’s killer, but they walked into a horrifying scene rather than the killer. The basement was filled with extremely violently graphic pornographic pictures as well as female autopsy photos. Police continued to search for the dark haired killer, but were left without any answers until another killing occurred two years later. It was discovered that the dark haired man, who killed Margaret Harold, was none other than Melvin Rees.
