On July 2, 1970, tourists in Australia spotted a smashed car,
teetering precariously on a cliff edge, overlooking the raging
ocean below. It seemed the car would fall into the water at any
moment, but the car lingered ... as did a mystery, revealed when
police traced the license plate to the Crawford household. Here,
the police discovered the shocking truth: a mother and her three
children had been murdered, with the husband and father-now
missing-the main suspect.
The quadruple homicide sent a wave of panic through Australia.
Where was the husband? And what would make a father kill his own
children? There was much speculation but few answers, as the
Crawford patriarch remained missing. Forty years passed-forty years
of "Australia's Most Wanted," police dead ends, and silence ...
until an unidentified body appears in a Texas morgue.
"Almost Perfect" is the firsthand look at a terrible crime from
the perspective of Greg Fogarty-a neighbor to the Crawford family
and later a member of the Victoria Police Force, Australia. Using
his skills of observation and investigation, Fogarty has put
together a tragic and detailed crime narrative with a shocking
conclusion. Could a morgue in San Angelo, Texas, hold the body of
Australia's most sought-after murderer ... or will the Crawford
homicide remain unsolved forever?
