Prologue - The Parkway Murders

1969 – The Summer of Love Continued 

Prologue - The Parkway Murders 

Just as the Labor Day 1964 murder – political assassination of Harry Anglemeyer set the stage for the Summer of ’65, the Memorial Day 1969 weekend Parkway murders were an ominous beginning to the sequel, set four years later at the same location – in the immediate vicinity of the Somers Point Circle crossroads.

Just as many of those who spent the summer of ’65 at the Jersey Shore and then moved on to the next chapter in their lives – back to school, work, the concert trail, Vietnam, other new blood came to town, mostly blue blood, upper middle class college kids, not looking for an answer to life’s key questions, just looking for a good time, and most found it there.
