We Would Be Dead

Sticks and Stones (Jeannette DePalma Part 2)


Listen Later

This two part episode and our subsequent special episode have been in the making for a long time. Our next two episodes we are covering the still unsolved 1972 murder of 16 year old Springfield NJ resident Jeannette DePalma. Jeannette went missing on August 7th 1972, just another runaway according to the police. We've seen this all before, but when Jeannette's decomposing body turned up 6 weeks later atop a large and perilous rock formation in the local quarry known as "the devil's teeth", people began to wonder, had Jeannette been murdered, or sacrificed?

In this second installment we discuss the investigation, theories, evidence that did not see the light of day for nearly 40 years, and the suspects the police kept a little too close to the vest. Don't miss our special episode with one of the writers of the definitive source on Jeannette's case, the novel Death on the Devil's Teeth: the strange murder that shocked Suburban New Jersey, Jesse Pollack.

Don't forget to support Weird NJ as well, their work on this case has been invaluable and as fellow odd balls from the Garden State, we love to see them doing good work and being recognized for it.
