I spoke briefly with Wayne Perry this morning. He’s the brother of Debra Greenlaw DeMello, one of NBHKs 11 victims, and founder/administrator of the “Shallow Graves: The Hunt for the New Bedford Highway Serial Killer” Facebook group.
Wayne is excited to see all the new support from everyone on here. He’s not on X yet, but plans to make an account tonight so he can start speaking up and getting real support. For now, sharing this with his blessing.
In August 2018 — 30 years after his sister’s murder — Wayne shared a frustrated post in his group about where things stood. It included photos of evidence boxes, and a powerful message.
“Evidence accumulated from Highway murders and still not a clue who’s responsible,” he said. “Now it sits in a basement and collects dust like the case has for the past 30 years. Hopefully someday soon the waiting and wondering will be over.”
Wayne wrote that six years ago. The waiting and wondering still isn’t over.
“The investigators that looked into this had no experience at all with murders committed by a serial killer, so right there we were doomed,” he continued, in a comment on the same post. “How do you investigate something that you know nothing about.”
It is worth noting that investigators certainly didn’t expect to find themselves facing a prolific serial predator, and several folks dedicated countless hours to the investigation, but Wayne’s point is valid — serial killer experts are needed in this case.
“In my opinion, these pallets full of evidence are the lives of 11 women that will sit in a basement and collect dust for who knows how long,” he said. “I believe that, among everything that is in those boxes, there is also information that holds the answers to the murders of these 11 women. The only problem with this is, we need someone with the experience and intelligence to find it.”
In December 2023, @othram posted here that they were willing to try and find it, using cutting-edge genomics. Othram also recently announced the addition of @PaulHoles to their team as a forensic investigator. Gee, Paul sure seems like someone experienced and intelligent enough to hunt a serial killer.
“The killer is still out there,” said Wayne. “And until law enforcement decides to get off their ass he’s gonna continue be out there, while my family and the ten other families have to live with the pain knowing he got away with murder.”
The #NBHK case is still led by the @MassStatePolice.
Stay tuned for an update from Wayne.
Time to hear more from the families.

Verdict in the murder trial of Adam Montgomery: Guilty on all charges.
Thinking of this sweet girl today. Harmony Montgomery was just a baby who deserved better.

Today is a tough milestone. It’s been 10 years since my childhood friend was murdered. When I started working with her family, 10 years seemed so far away.
Danielle Bertolini deserved so much better. Her family needs justice.
We won’t give up.

Only 2 days until the launch of @MediaPressPod. You have likely heard Maura Murray's story before, but I promise that you've never heard it like this. Just like with VFJ, there's no replacement for people speaking about someone they actually knew. 💙

I need some true crime community magic. I’m less than 1,600 signatures from my goal. In a few weeks, it will be 10 years with no justice. Will you sign?
Danielle is my childhood friend. She was only 23. Sheila was a mother and sister. They mattered.
