A child's murder and a rush to judgment still resonate more than fifty years later with lessons to be learned about American justice from an extraordinary murder case. The convicted murderer did his time, returned to his hometown of South Williamsport, PA, where the crime occurred, and yet the case against him refuses to retreat quietly into fading memories and a growing cache of obituaries of those who played prominent roles in this immorality play. The impact on him and his family resonates as tragedy for both the murder victim and the man convicted of the crime. This is a case study that is as much a generational story in more innocent times as it is about the murder of a twelve-year-old girl in a town known as the home of Little League Baseball. It started with the discovery of an inexplicitly fresh body of Jennifer Hill, the object of nine days of searching, deposited in a cornfield less than a mile from her backyard. There is one tragic realization from exploring the "mosaic pieces" of this intriguing case. Somebody got away with murder and, despite an impressive accumulation of exculpatory evidence widening cracks into chasms in the Commonwealth's untenable case presented in February of 1974, exoneration continues to elude a man sacrificed for political gain and career expediency. Wes Skillings retired from newspaper journalism on April 1, 2011, after 38 years as a reporter, columnist and editor where, among his assignments for three different newspapers, he covered everything from municipal meetings to murder trials.
