Hey everyone, I've been reading up on the case of Wendy and Gretchen Fritz, and something that really stands out to me is the role of Smitty’s friends in all of this. It's unnerving to realize how some individuals knew about his actions or were somewhat complicit, either by helping him cover up or through staying silent. It makes me think about the peer pressure and influence that must have been at play, especially for impressionable teenagers in the '60s. The case really shines a light on the panic within the community at the time, as nobody knew who might be involved or what secrets people were keeping. It breaks my heart for Wendy and Gretchen's family—knowing there were people out there who could have come forward sooner. It's crucial to remember how the actions or inactions of those around someone dangerous can have devastating consequences. Does anyone have further info on what happened to those involved, like John Saunders or Mary French? Their roles seem so crucial in understanding the broader picture of this tragedy.
