Silent Testimony by Roger W. Walker

Silent Testimony by Roger W. Walker

One late summer night in 1976, Florence Busacca, a former opera singer, was reported missing. But a small back room of the home she shared with husband Tom in a New York suburb gave silent - yet eloquent - testimony to her harrowing fate. Blood spattered the walls to a height of six feet. And grislier evidence lay waiting to be discovered...

What the D.A. faced was a challenge unprecedented in New York State jurisprudence: to convict a suspect without the indisputable proof - the corpse. Now, the detective assigned to the landmark case takes you deep into the painstaking investigation and ensuing trial. What emerges are chilling glimpses of the interlocking snares of one man's mental breakdown and a family's daily terror, a detailed casebook of police expertise, a tense court battle teetering on mistrial, and a harrowing look into the mind of a killer - whose most damning testimony was to come four years later.
