Betsy Aardsma murder
My next book will be about the murder of Betsy Aardsma in Pattee Library at Penn State’s main campus in State College on Nov. 28, 1969, who her killer was and how he got away. I would love to hear from anyone who was on the Penn State campus during the 1969-70 academic year. Contact me directly at ddekok@mac.com, or call me at (717) 439-4159. This doesn’t mean you’ll be in the book; more than likely you won’t. But your information about life at Penn State that year may be of interest to me and that may find its way into the book.

I might have some useful insight for you.
What can you tell me? E-mail me at ddekok@verizon.net, and then we can set up a telephone conversation if necessary. Thanks!

You were an English graduate student at Penn State during the fall of 1969, right? Who taught the English 434 class, Movements in American Literature? How about English 582, Hawthorne and Melville? Betsy was in both, according to her transcript. Thanks.
