The scene of the crime seven years later

I wanted to get a firsthand look at the locations where this heinous crime took place. I wanted to walk in the murderers’ footsteps and see what they saw. I started at the old school parking lot where Ed Dansereau’s car was found. I then walked to Kit’s house, using the same route the people involved in the crime took. After spending some time in and around Kit’s, the Phillips’, and Ed’s homes, I headed to Rosetown road to where Pam’s burned-out Nissan Altima was found. After that, I visited the L & R Soda Shop where Joan used to work. It was raining for part of my visit, just as it was on the day of the murders. I also talked to a few people and learned new details. A clear picture is emerging.

The back of Calvin and Pam's home. Ed's body was found in this back yard. Notice the lattice work on the back porch. This could have been how the shell casing ended up on the back porch.
