Description
TIM BOCZKOWSKI GOT MARRIED, STARTED A BUSINESS, AND WENT TO CHURCH ON SUNDAYS.HE ALSO KILLED HIS WIFE. On November 4, 1990 Tim Boczkowski phoned 911 in Greensboro, North Carolina to report his wife Elaine lying motionless in the bathtub. In the days that followed the paramedics' failed efforts to revive Elaine, detectives began to suspect that Tim had murdered his wife after a quarrel. But with no eyewitnesses to the crime-the couple's three children were in bed asleep- Tim went free to pick show more up the pieces of his life....THEN HE DID IT AGAIN....Four years later Tim's second wife-a woman who had devoted herself to his children-died under similar circumstances. Immediately, his past was tightened around him like a noose, and some of those who knew him best began to believe that the mild mannered, religiously devout Boczkowski was really a madman who killed his wives with his bare hands. But Tim Boczkowski's worst crime of all may have been committed against his own children: taking away their mother not once but twice....AUTHORBIO: Fannie Weinstein is a staff correspondent with the New York bureau of PEOPLE magazine.An award-winning writer, her work has appeared in the New York Times, Cosmopolitan, Ladies' Home Journal, and Premiere, among other publications.She is also the co-author, with Melinda Wilson, of The CO-ED CALL GIRL MURDER (St. Martin's, 1997) and WHERE THE BODIES ARE BURIED (St. Martin's, 1998). show lessTags
