Alice Miller was murdered in September 1943.

Nitpick: The women keep referring to building B-25 Mitchell bombers. But the only airframe in the factory is a Supermarine Spitfire. Not only is it not a bomber, but it's a single seater, and British, not American, and probably a post-1944 (bubble canopy) model, making it particularly unlikely to have been in a U.S. factory in 1943. Additionally, the aircraft fuselage seen in the episode was that of a P-51D Mustang. However, the D version of the Mustang was not produced in quantity until early 1944.

Martha: We would have heard about it on Ed Murrow. During the World War II, Edward R. Murrow held a radio show reporting the events of the war. Coincidentally, his radio show as well as his television appearances in the 1950's and 60's took place on CBS -- the same network that airs Cold Case.

Det. Rush: Are these the Rosie the Riveters? Rosies are nicknames given to the women in the 1940's who worked in rivet shops during World War II. They would help build the planes while their men were off in the war. The name comes from the iconic poster of a woman saying "We Can Do It!" who would later be nicknamed "Rosie the Riveter".
