Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A meticulously researched account of one of the North Fork’s most infamous crimes: the Wickham Axe Murders of 1854. In the mid-nineteenth century, James Wickham was a wealthy farmer with a large estate in Cutchogue, Long Island. His extensive property included a mansion and eighty acres of farmland that were maintained by a staff of servants. In 1854, Wickham got into an argument with one of his workers, Nicholas Behan, after Behan harassed another employee who refused to marry him. Several days after Behan’s dismissal, he crept back into the house in the dead of night. With an axe, he butchered Wickham and his wife, Frances, and fled to a nearby swamp. Behan was captured, tried, convicted and, on December 15, became one of the last people to be hanged in Suffolk County. Local historians Geoffrey Fleming and Amy Folk uncover this gruesome story of revenge and murder. Includes photos! “Mr. Fleming and Ms. Folk graphically recreate the crime itself and Behan’s attempts to escape. They describe in detail his capture, incarceration, trial, and conviction ending in his execution.” —The East Hampton Star

Book Synopsis The Long Island Serial Killer Murders Gilgo Beach and Beyond by : Robert Banfelder
Download or read book The Long Island Serial Killer Murders Gilgo Beach and Beyond written by Robert Banfelder and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Long Island Serial Killer Murders Gilgo Beach and Beyond" is based on one of the most notorious serial killer cases of our time. The work is a nonfictional / fictional accounting, synonymous with New Journalism. The novel is an exposé uncovering a corrupt group of high-ranking police officials working within one of the largest law enforcement departments in the country; that is, the Suffolk County Police Department. The story shines a light upon a cast of discreditable characters, one of whom is currently under suspicion of murder(s) as well as the unquestionable abuse of power. It is a true-life story of cover-up, conceit, and conspicuously bad behavior by a host of bad actors. It was simply a matter of connecting the dots to arrive at this terrifying conclusion. Those who are familiar with the case will recognize the names of those characters portrayed, their criminal offenses, and the precise locations of where these crimes took place. A good portion of this work was written in real time referencing the outbreak of the coronavirus. Therefore, you will note the progression of the pandemic as the story unfolds.
