A shocking series of events led to the discovery of Jeannette DePalma’s body in the woods where it had been “left to rot,” but the teen’s suspected murder remains shrouded in mystery 50 years later
.
“Around the body were logs across the head down the right side and a small branch under both feet,” Schwerdt stated in the report. He determined that an autopsy could not be performed because of the “marked state” of decomposition. For this same reason, a cause of death could not be determined so was listed as “suspicious” rather than as a homicide.
Then-Springfield Police Chief George Parsell was quoted in the article as saying: “I heard that some people from the department supposedly brought a witch out there but I know nothing about it,” he said. He claimed that she had tried to lecture devil worshippers about Christ, and “their fanaticism arose and they killed her” but conceded his theory was based on no more than a personal belief. However, it’s one that has been shared by many others too.Photo Illustration by Luis G. Rendon/The Daily Beast/Getty
In an interview with The Daily Beast, Salzano said he has spoken to many of DePalma’s friends, family members and acquaintances, as part of his independent investigation into her death over the last eight years. And, according to him, there’s one common thread: “They’re all scared to death,” he said.
In 2019, the writers obtained a case file with photos of the body, which cast doubt on the cult theory. An expert in satanic imagery said that the arrangements of rocks, sticks, and logs appear to be naturally placed and not the work of devil worshippers.“What I can say on this case right now is that it is still an active case of a suspicious death, as there has not been any evidence, as of yet, to be able to officially rule it a homicide,” he said.
