The prom night murders : a devoted American family, their troubled son, and a ghastly crime
Smith, Carlton, 1946-2009
Book
In 1989, a shocking tragedy shattered an otherwise peaceful small Indiana community. Much-admired pastor Robert L. Pelley was found slain in his home. In his basement were the huddled, blood-soaked bodies of his wife and daughters, executed by shotgun at close range. The doors to the house were locked, and there were no signs of forced entry. Police had a hunch that the pastor's son Jeff was responsible for the massacre, but they didn’t have enough evidence to convict. The case went cold… until, more than a decade later, when law officials resolved to finally try to unravel the truth about Jeff and to establish a motive.
