About this ebook
Four decades after Jeannette DePalma's tragic death, authors Jesse P. Pollack and Mark Moran present the definitive account of the shocking Springfield township cold case.
As Springfield residents decorated for Halloween in September 1972, the crime rate in the quiet, affluent township was at its lowest in years. That mood was shattered when the body of sixteen-year-old Jeannette DePalma was discovered in the local woods, allegedly surrounded by strange objects. Some feared witchcraft was to blame, while others believed a serial killer was on the loose. Rumors of a police cover up ran rampant, and the case went unsolved - along with the murders of several other young women.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5the story begins with the still unsolved murder in New Jersey of a young girl in 1972. Lots of theories as to what happened. Including witch craft, police cover up etc. The book also discusses other unsolved crimes in the area. Interesting book, but confusing, hard to follow at times.
