As Springfield residents decorated for Halloween in September 1972, the crime rate in the quiet, affluent township was at its lowest in years. The 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 that a serial killer was on the loose. Rumors of police coverup ran rampant, and the case went unsolved-along with the murders of several other young women. In this revised edition with newly unearthed photographs, interviews and case documents, authors Jesse P. Pollack and Mark Moran present the definitive account of this shocking cold case.
