So I’m in Chicago and I don’t know. Who was the killer?
Everyone in Chicago believed at the time that the stepmother killed Valerie. Percy’s wife had severe mental problems and was institutionalized soonafter.
In reading the documents again, after Sen Percy’s death, it seems obvious. IMHO this is similar to the Martha Moxley case where the murderer went free fir decades because of a high level cover up. Ethel Kennedy’s nephew, Michael Skakel was convicted of the killing, and sits in prison. Much credit goes to Mark Furman and his book “death in Greenwich” which did a thorough investigation of the crime and forced the Greenwich police to re-open the case.
Mark Furman needs to write another book!
