"Chicago Tribune" editor Bill O'Connell O'Connell explores one of
the most heinous but least publicized crimes in Illinois history:
the 1968 abduction, sexual assault, and murder of fourteen-year-old
David Stukel by fourteen-year-old bullies Billy Rose Sprinkle and
James Perruquet. O'Connell-David Stukel's Little League
teammate-recalls the victim's idyllic childhood and takes readers
into the minds of the murderers and inside the homes, hearts, and
photo albums of the victim's family, whose grief is palpable a
generation after the crime. His research includes parole
interviews, inmate psychological reports and conversations with the
families of the murderers and the family of the victim.
"Fourteen" is a masterfully crafted, thoroughly insightful
account of the years leading up to, and the four decades since, the
unconscionable and unprovoked slaying of an innocent
ninety-five-pound high school freshman.
