Gerald Turner Rapes, Tortures, and Kills a Nine-Year-Old Girl

On Halloween night in 1973, nine-year-old Lisa French of Fond du Lac, Wisconnsin dressed up as a hobo and went trick-or-treating. After she rang the doorbell of neighbor Gerald Turner, he took her into his house and shut the door behind her. Turner would later write: I can still see you standing in the doorway with that felt hat beaming at having recognized me….Then I see the delight in your eyes turn to fear as I close the door behind you…. He raped her, killed her, stuffed her body in a plastic bag, and dumped it in a field.
