Summary of Burl Barer's Murder in the Family

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 On March 15, 1987, Paul and Cheryl Chapman’s nightmare began. Their bedside telephone rang, and they were woken by a concerned Mama Summerville of the Gwennie’s Restaurant in Anchorage. Inside their sister’s apartment, Vance saw the distraught and anguished Cheryl crying uncontrollably and wandering aimlessly in the parking lot. #2 When the Chapmans arrived at the scene, they were sobbing and shaking. They told the police how they had been called to the scene by Mama Summerville. #3 The Newmans’s apartment was filled with blood, and the children were all naked, with the exception of their socks, which were near the bed. Angie had been stabbed multiple times, and her mother had been strangled with a pillowcase. #4 The killer had stayed in the apartment for a long period of time, which indicated that he knew the victims. He had also enjoyed himself while doing it, which meant that the person they were looking for was an extremely adversarial person.
