What an absolute tragedy and horror that family endured in the 60's and onward until the confession in the 1980's. It must have been very hard to receive remains so many years later. I cannot image the wounds it must have reopened. This story sticks with me as one of the most cruel and senseless stories of child abuse still to this day..
