OHHS '67 Most Infamous Graduate
Comment: Please, Please - don't be at the reunion! From the NYTimes 1987:
For Ms. Miller, it all started June 10, 1986, when she received a call from a woman who identified herself as Celeste White, from Staten Island in New York City. Speaking in an urgent, panicky tone, Mrs. White said she had to see Ms. Miller immediately. She explained that she was the sister of Teresa Taylor, whose husband had so brutally murdered her. Ms. Miller remembered that, didn't she? Ms. Miller did, but not in any detail. All she recalled from local news reports was that Dr. Kenneth Taylor, a dentist who lived nearby in prosperous Manalapan Township, had been convicted of bludgeoning his wife to death eight months earlier.
Sometime late that same Saturday night or early Sunday morning, Ken Taylor murdered his wife, smashing in the back of her head at least nine times with a 20-pound barbell. Telephone toll records would show that between midnight and 5:48 A.M. Sunday, 26 calls were made from Taylor's home to pornographic message services in California and brothels in New York.
Although he did his best to remove any traces of what had happened, forensic experts would discover evidence of a 55-foot trail of blood in the house as Taylor dragged Teresa's body to the garage and deposited her in the trunk of his car. He then placed 5-month-old Philip in the front seat and drove to the home of his parents in Indiana.
Ken Taylor was found guilty of murder, and, on Oct. 4, 1985, was sentenced to serve a minimum of 30 years without paroleMore & More

Wow, what a story.
ReplyDeleteThe biggest thing that scares me is that despite three failed marriages, a murder, drug use and more, his family and church were still in his corner to the point of knowingly filing fraudulent adoption papers. That is way scary!
