On the morning of May 6th, 2018, a motorist in Burlington, Connecticut was driving past a pond off Upson Road when something unexpected was spotted in the water: a human body. Police responded to the scene and determined that the deceased was a young adult woman. Eventually, that woman was identified as Kelsey Mazzamaro - a 26-year-old mother-of-two.
An autopsy determined that Kelsey had been strangled. The report lists neck compression as the exact cause of death. Investigators quickly labeled Kelsey's death as a homicide and their belief that she was killed before her body was placed in the pond.
When the news about Kelsey's murder broke on local media, it was also announced that police believed there was no threat to the community. As such, many began to speculate that Kelsey likely knew her killer(s). However, police did not share any further details about the investigation.
In 2021, a $50,000 reward was announced in exchange for information about Kelsey's murder. Investigators also made an appeal to the public for anyone who saw/interacted with Kelsey on May 5th, 2018, or May 6th, 2018, to come forward. Lots of tips came through after the reward was announced, but unfortunately, investigators have yet to receive information leading to an arrest.
There is very little additional information available about Kelsey's case. It's known that she had two young children, who are now left without their mother. Various posts on social media indicate that Kelsey was involved in sex work. However, police have yet to comment on whether or not this plays a role in her death.
Kelsey's case remains unsolved today. The reward money is still available. If you have any information that could help solve the case, please contact Connecticut's Cold Case Unit at 1-866-623-8058 or email them at cold.case@ct.gov.
