The worst incident in the hamlet's history occurred when two bodies were found horribly mutilated by shotgun blasts in the trunk of a car parked and abandoned at the Goldens Bridge train station; the murders were committed elsewhere. The NY Post and New York Times covered the incident. The victims were Joseph Fazzinga, 54, and Darla DiDomenico, 23, of North Salem. The killer, Gerald DiDomenico Jr., the brother of Darla, was charged with first degree murder and sentenced to twenty years to life in prison after pleading guilty to first-degree murder.
