Rampage 1982

"THE AFTERMATH" to Rampage 1982 highlights the investigation of the retribution murders of three of the convicted 1982 felons who had served their thirty years of incarceration and were released in 2012. On Memorial Day, 2013 their mutilated bodies were discovered artfully nailed to three Oak trees in the parking lot of what is now, the Old Westbury Diner, the very site of their long forgotten carnage, deliberately, on the thirty first anniversary of that barbaric 1982 night.

Driven by duty and ego, Detective Lieutenant Patricia McAvoy uses all of the assets and experience of her Homicide Squad South veterans to solve this macabre triple murder. She zeros in on the most damaged victims of the 1982 mayhem who were either robbed, raped, sodomized, shot, seriously assaulted or mentally affected. Disregarding a lack of public sympathy for the murdered trio, she relentlessly builds the case against her leading suspects and ultimately prompts the Nassau County District Attorney to indict the "sadistic six" she is convinced are guilty of the murders.

As the investigation proceeds, salient facts are unearthed that ensure the murder trial is not a "slam dunk." Corkscrew twists and turns abundantly abound, leading to a bizarre finale which begs the question as to who really were the avengers of the 1982 savage crime spree?
