Happy New Year, Peggy Rebernew
I was a few days shy of 11 when in February 1970 a jury in my hometown of Lebanon, Pa., acquitted 27-year-old Art Root of the torture slaying of teenager Margaret Lynn "Peggy" Reber. Not long after that, Root moved away and the case has since been on ice. But no one, including me, ever forgot that time.
