Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A sixteen-year-old disappears. Six weeks later, a damaged record begins.In August 1972, Jeannette DePalma vanished from Springfield, New Jersey. Her remains were found near the Houdaille Quarry, in a place later bound to the name Devil's Teeth. The discovery confirmed her death, but decomposi…tion, incomplete records, and conflicting accounts left the central questions unresolved.At the Edge of Springfield is an evidence-aware historical true crime investigation of the Jeannette DePalma case. Rather than treating the most dramatic theory as fact, it follows the line between what the record supports, what public accounts reported, and what decades of repetition turned into legend.The book reconstructs Jeannette's life before the quarry, the six-week disappearance, the recovery of her remains, and the medical limits that complicated any firm conclusion about cause and manner of death. It examines the strongest case for homicide while preserving the distinction between serious suspicion and proof. No publicly established conviction provides a final answer.It also returns to the claims that made the case widely remembered: alleged crosses, sticks, stones, ritual staging, witchcraft, Satanism, local silence, and a landscape already heavy with rumor. Scene descriptions, photographs, witness memory, religious interpretation, and later retellings are weighed against one another to ask how an uncertain scene became a cultural certainty.Beyond the quarry, the investigation considers missing or damaged files, reported water loss, evidence custody, possible DNA review, prosecutorial questions, and the institutional silence that can deepen distrust without itself proving a cover-up. It also examines how newspapers, later books, podcasts, advocacy, and online discussion kept the case alive while sometimes allowing the mythology to overtake the girl at its center.This is not a book that forces closure where the evidence cannot support it. It is a victim-centered account of an unresolved death, a New Jersey cold case, and the long afterlife of public rumor. Written in a restrained, atmospheric, and investigative style, it is for readers drawn to historical true crime, missing-person cases, forensic limits, damaged case files, media myths, and the ethics of remembering victims.Jeannette DePalma deserves to be remembered as more than a legend attached to a quarry. This book returns to the record, preserves the uncertainty, and asks what can still be responsibly known.
