A young, beloved school teacher was murdered in my hometown back in the ‘60s. The investigation pointed towards her husband as being the killer. He was tried and found guilty, although no motive was ever discovered and the evidence was sketchy. A few days later, he hanged himself in his jail cell.
Several years ago, Mom told me that the teacher, Beth, used to babysit for the three boys that lived next door to us. There was speculation by the mother of the boys that her husband was having an affair with Beth, and Beth’s husband eventually found out.
Ah, I just found a link to a site that doesn’t provide an answer, but supports the murder case.
