I presume that, like many Catholics of his peer group, he goes to mass frequently, not just on Sundays. Turns out his son, the band teacher, also teaches classes at colleges called St Benedicts and St.Johns, presumably Catholic.
Back in the day when I was a good Catholic, we’d go to mass on Sunday and Catechism on Wednesday night. Some of our parents would go to Wednesday night mass to wait on us. I noticed there were several comments here and there from locals who claim the St. Johns Abby knows the truth so perhaps there is something to this. Other comments say the son was their teacher and he’s creepy. Some wonder if other unsolved incidents might be related. Who knows.
There are a handful of cases that somehow grab your heart and this one certainly has for many people. It’s so unbelievable that the investigation seems so mishandled from the start. I doubt there would be much evidence to be found after all these years but it’s good to hear there are new investigators on the case.
