Standried, funny you should mention that, yes the house was for sale through an agent and yes, there was a for sale sign in the front yard. There was a lot of speculation that the man might have told Terry he was a real estate agent, or as you suggested, someone interested in the house, because nobody could believe that Terry would let a stranger into the house. In fact, after Terry's murder, Willingboro banned the use of for sale signs in the entire township. That ban stayed on the books for many years, but was lifted at some point. I worked in a local department store the following year, only a few blocks from the neighborhood where Terry was killed and one of our security guys was a moonlighting cop. I talked to him about Terry's murder and he told me that they knew who did it, it was somebody local who was married and had two children, but they didn't had enough evidence to arrest him. I don't know if this was true or not as the guy was kind of a blowhard and I was never sure if he was just blowing smoke, LOL.
The murder occurred the summer between our junior and senior years of high school, I am 59 now and this murder still eats at me. Thank you for commenting!
