Mad Dog Tape Preservation, Analysis Under Way

Working diligently on these sensitive materials are Sgt. Ken Barton (CSP retired) and ESPN alumni / retired Auxiliary Trooper Dave Overson.

Via Jerry Longo, Connecticut State Police Museum

In May of 1960 "Mad Dog" Taborsky was executed in Connecticut. He and his accomplice Arthur Columbe murdered at least six people during a robbery and killing spree in 1956 and 1957.

Fast forward to today: The nephew of tireless investigator Major (then a detective) Sam Rome – who interviewed many in the Mad Dog case – came forth with some startling materials.

Ken Kurland delivered a scrapbook, newspaper clippings and reel to reel audio tapes of several of Sam Rome's interviews regarding this murder spree. They are being analyzed at the CSP Museum in a very exciting project. So stay tuned as they slowly process approximately 29 hours of tape.

Of note: The tapes might cover at least one other significant case.
