THE DEVIL AT GENESEE JUNCTION The Murders of Kathy Bernhard and George-Ann Formicola, 6/66

Hardback. Today you'd call Ballantyne suburban, but back then, at the start of the summer of 1966, it was country - just a cluster of houses, some of them shacks, on or near Ballantyne Road, in the town of Chili, New York. And while June 25 started like any other day, it would end in a nightmare. The author returns to his formerly rural hometown to take on the double homicide of his friends Kathy Bernhard and George-Ann Formicola that took place that night. The 2 girls were missing for a month and then found in the bushes, horribly mutilated. The double homicide changed the author's childhood suddenly, and drastically. He went from living in a rural playland to being encased in fear, wondering who among them was the werewolf who had cut up Kathy and George-Ann. This heinous crime was never resolved, and it didn't go away. In recent years, the author has teamed up with a victim's mother and a local private investigator to delve deep into the 6/66 murders, developing along the way some strong new leads and shocking details. Together, they have heated up this icy cold case, and their investigation has led them in a startling new direction. Illus., Epilogue, Appendices, Notes, Bibliog. and Index. 367pp. lge. 8vo. h/back.
