Chicago Tribune editor Bill O’Connell O’Connell explores one of the most heinous but least publicized crimes in Illinois history: the 1968 abduction, sexual assault, and murder of fourteen-year-old David Stukel by fourteen-year-old bullies Billy Rose Sprinkle and James Perruquet.
O’Connell-David Stukel’s Little League teammate-recalls the victim’s idyllic childhood and takes readers into the minds of the murderers and inside the homes, hearts, and photo albums of the victim’s family, whose grief is palpable a generation after the crime. His research includes parole interviews, inmate psychological reports and conversations with the families of the murderers and the family of the victim.
Fourteen is a masterfully crafted, thoroughly insightful account of the years leading up to, and the four decades since, the unconscionable and unprovoked slaying of an innocent ninety-five-pound high school freshman.
