Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 In the third volume of my true crime files, I have chosen four cases that share a common theme: personal betrayal. The victims have trusted their killers over a long time, and in one case, the victims have put their faith too quickly in the wrong men.
#2 In 1975, the Friday before Thanksgiving was icy and bleak. In the spring, Yakima, and all of Yakima County, is scented by what seems like a continuous froth of apple and peach blossoms from a thousand orchards. However, in the last dark week of November 1975, Yakima was bitterly cold with lowering clouds that promised snow all day but never quite delivered by the time night fell.
#3 Gerda Lenberg lived in a duplex at 506 East Lincoln in Yakima. She always described where she lived precisely: On the right-hand side on the corner of Sixth and Lincoln-or off Lincoln and the alley. She was never really sure what time it was, but she could see it was somewhere between five or ten minutes after two in the morning.
#4 Dale Soost, a systems analysis programmer, was waiting for his friends to pick him up after hearing gunshots at 2:05 A. M. He noticed a woman walking down the lawn next to his apartment house. They figured she was coming out in her robe to get the morning Yakima Herald Republic.

#1

In the third volume of my true crime files, I have chosen four cases that share a common theme: personal betrayal. The victims have trusted their killers over a long time, and in one case, the victims have put their faith too quickly in the wrong men.

#2

In 1975, the Friday before Thanksgiving was icy and bleak. In the spring, Yakima, and all of Yakima County, is scented by what seems like a continuous froth of apple and peach blossoms from a thousand orchards. However, in the last dark week of November 1975, Yakima was bitterly cold with lowering clouds that promised snow all day but never quite delivered by the time night fell.

#3

Gerda Lenberg lived in a duplex at 506 East Lincoln in Yakima. She always described where she lived precisely: On the right-hand side on the corner of Sixth and Lincoln-or off Lincoln and the alley. She was never really sure what time it was, but she could see it was somewhere between five or ten minutes after two in the morning.

#4

Dale Soost, a systems analysis programmer, was waiting for his friends to pick him up after hearing gunshots at 2:05 A. M. He noticed a woman walking down the lawn next to his apartment house. They figured she was coming out in her robe to get the morning Yakima Herald Republic.

#5

Rowland Seal, the hunter, was confronted with the scene when he returned home. He could do nothing to help the man in the snow, so he helped the woman next door call the police.

#6

Olive Morgan Blankenbaker was one of four daughters born to Esther and Ray Morgan. She met Ned Blankenbaker in Yakima, and they began to date. She was a slender, beautiful young woman with marcelled curls and a sweet smile.

#7

Olive was married to Ned Blankenbaker, and they had a son, Morris, in 1942. But the marriage didn’t last, and Olive was left to raise Morris alone. She began working as a court reporter, and she spent time with her son camping trips.

#8

Morris was a handsome child with tight blond curls and brown eyes. He was always into athletic activities, and he was the star fullback on the football squad. He never had time for dating.

#9

Morris’s dreams of becoming a professional football player seemed less realistic than they had when he was in high school. Besides that, there was Jerilee. He barely knew her when he was in high school, but he got to know her well when he went back to Yakima to visit his hometown.

#10

Jerilee Karlberg was a teenager in the 1960s who was very popular with boys, but she longed to have a boyfriend of her own. She was married to Morris Blankenbaker, a super athlete, in 1965.

#11

Morris and Olive had a difficult relationship after their wedding in 1965. They had both wanted Morris to graduate from college before getting married, but he had dropped out of Washington State to join the Marine Corps Reserves before the draft could scoop him up.

#12

Gabby Moore, the coach of the wrestling team, was a much-admired fixture in Yakima. He had taught math and driver training at Davis High School, and was the track coach and assistant football coach. He was also the impetus behind bringing kid wrestling to Yakima.

#13

Gabby Moore had other reasons to prefer Yakima to the other college towns near Seattle or the east: his family was in Yakima, and he had a close circle of love and emotional support.

#14

Morris and Jerilee had little time to spend with each other, as they were busy with their studies and jobs. They were married in 1965.

#15

Morris and Jerilee moved to Tacoma, and Morris took a temporary job with the phone company as a lineman. He was happy being back in Yakima, where he was raised, with his good friends.

#16

Morris graduated from Central Washington College in 1969, and he and Jerilee had their first child, a boy named Rick, in 1969. They had every reason to believe that they would grow old together and watch their children and grandchildren live out their lives in Yakima.

#17

Olive’s ideal job ended suddenly in 1973 when Pete Tonkoff was lost and presumed dead after the Beechcraft he owned and was piloting disappeared over Lake Pontchartrain in Louisiana.

#18

The falling-down of lives is like dominoes tumbling. When one falls, it knocks over the next, and the next, and on and on until everything is flattened. In the early 1970s, Gabby Moore was at the peak of his profession, with his athletes winning more honors every year.

#19

Gabby and his wife, Gay, had been married for almost 20 years when Gabby told Morris that he and Gay were getting a divorce. Gabby asked Morris if he might move in with him and his wife, Jerilee, for a few weeks until he figured out what he wanted to do.

#20

Gabby was a victim of his own charm, as people began to see traits in him they had never noticed before. Morris began to see his best friend in a new light, and even Jerilee began to view Gabby differently.

#21

Morris’s friend Gabby Moore began to fall in love with his wife, Jerilee. He didn’t tell Jerilee right away, but he was watching her, and she was becoming more and more attractive to him.

#22

The balance in the Blankenbaker household was shifted when Jerilee began to feel as if she were sleeping with the wrong man. She must have thought of the man in the guest bedroom, who was undoubtedly thinking of her and seething at the situation.

#23

When Jerilee told Morris that she was leaving him for Gabby, he was poleaxed. He was the only man she had ever loved, but he understood that she was in love with Gabby and accepted it. He let her go with one condition: that they would still be friends.

#24

Morris and Jerilee’s marriage lasted only nine years, from 1974 to 1981. In March 1974, Jerilee filed for divorce. Morris was heartbroken, but he had to go on living without her. He was the most persuasive person she had ever met, and her resolve melted.

#25

Morris’s life fell apart, and he was forced to move away from Yakima. He and Jerilee divorced, and she married Gabby Moore. Morris’s children were very young at the time, and they had to adjust to their new situation.

#26

Morris moved to Hawaii, a long way from Yakima, but he was still lonely. His friends urged him to start dating, but he couldn’t do it. He felt like an imposter when he tried to date.

#27

Jerilee was married to Gabby Moore, who was a popular and respected man in Yakima, in 1973. But she soon realized that some of his moods were frightening. He would drink heavily, and his promises never came to fruition.

#28

Jerilee Moore was married to an alcoholic, and she soon learned to chart the progression from high spirits to suspicion and paranoia. When Gabby got close to the bottom of the whiskey bottle, he was a mean drunk. He could be insanely jealous.

#29

Gabby had always been caught up in his coaching and his athletes. He had no empathy or sympathy for others, and he had no rational or emotional ability to step back and view a situation from another person’s point of view.
