A smalltime fisherman who died in 2017 has been linked to three cold-case homicides in Virginia from the 1980s, including two that were among a series of unsolved slayings of couples known as the “Colonial Parkway Murders,” law enforcement officials announced Monday.

During the 1994 trial, prosecutors argued that Pugh and Lorenzo were smalltime burglars who killed Meidl during a botched home invasion.

Stricter transparency regulations could be useful for ensuring that smalltime investors aren’t getting the wool pulled over their eyes by crypto influencers and major companies.
