Nobody has ever been charged by Scotland Yard in England with being the notorious murderer Jack the Ripper. But a Connecticut woman did spend time in jail in England, after being convicted of killing her husband - who some people claim was the infamous killer. She lived out her life after prison in western Connecticut, incognito, and only a handful of persons knew her true identity – until after she died.

Benedict Arnold’s name is synonymous with being a traitor. At an important point in the Revolutionary War, he orchestrated the handover of top-secret plans about the Patriots’ most important fort, West Point, to British spy John Andre. The plot unraveled; otherwise, the outcome of the fight for independence may have had a different ending. When looking at reasons for his traitorous behavior, his shattered dreams growing up in Norwich are often overlooked. And, before he switched allegiances to join the British, Arnold was considered among the finest of all military leaders on the Patriot side.

Artist Peter Toth spent several decades traveling the U.S., sculpting wooden statues depicting the Native American persons in each state – and then donated his work for free to that state. At least one statue was made for each state, including Connecticut. But, the Connecticut statue is no longer standing and finding information about its past, its whereabouts, its status, and its future prospects is difficult to come by. But, it has been found after quite a search.
