West Palm Beach, Fla. (1958)
10/17/1958: The mother, 40, left a suicide note:
I can't talk so I'll write I can’t do it alone. I can't stay boxed any
longer. The children and I don't fit
anywhere. We're not really wanted … I
tried but I never really had a chance.
"It's all sham and pretense. I am second to TV and books. I am supposed to be well off. But I have nothing to say about how I live
every day of my life.
She shot to death her three kids and then herself. Her husband returned home with a 1959 model station
wagon as a birthday present to find the tragedy.
