Jacqueline Gibons, Daughter & Killer

A black and white photograph shows a handcuffed young woman with frizzy hair; a smug almost careless smile lingers on her face while a police officer escorts her away, her t-shirt says "BIKE-A-THON". This is Jacqueline Gibons on August 5, 1982 – only a week after the ghastly killings of her adoptive parents, Benjamin and Sybil Gibons. Nearby are her co-conspirators, her boyfriend Barry Wilson and their friend Robert St. Pierre, also handcuffed, displaying baffling amusement, at the very start of the legal process that would unfold the terrifying, gruesome details of the murder of an Illinois couple, who apparently only wished the best for their daughter.
