True story of a high school teacher and principal who murder a Pennsylvania English teacher and her two children. From the Dust Jacket: "A gentle, unassuming English teacher at one of America's finest public high schools, Susan was found naked, bound, and abused, in the trunk of her car. Her children, Karen and Michael, had disappeared. For seven years, beginning in 1979, dozens of state troopers, FBI agents, and prosecutors searched for the bodies of Karen and Michael, now presumed dead, and for the men who had murdered them. Residents of the Main Line were horrified by the murders, but the convictions shocked them even more, because the men who had murdered Susan and her children were not strangers; they were highly respected members of the community, and they had been entrusted with the care and education of children. William Bradfield, charismatic, intelligent, attractive, ran the English department at Upper Merion High. Engaged to Susan Reinert when she died, he is now serving three life sentences for conspiracy to commit murder. Dr. Jay Smith, for twelve years the principal at Upper Merion, is on death Row, sentenced to the electric chair for three counts of murder." . First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover.
