(API) April 17, 1995 "Small Town Wracked by Crime Wave" People move to small towns to get away from urban crime. For the Van Pelt family, New York would probably have been safer. After their daughter was decapitated on the local football field last november, her severed head located 20 yards from the body, they were devastated, but thought they were better off raising their two sons here than moving. "Things like this happen everywhere, you just need to stick together and face them," a tearful Mrs. Van Pelt sobbed then. The subsequent animal mutilations, in which various birds and a pet beagle were crucified and left to die in neighbors' yards, started to change their minds, and after the Valentines Day rape of a small red-haired former schoolmate of their daughter, they made plans to move. Unfortunately, as they made their way out of town with the entire family in the cab of their rented truck, they drove by what must have been a murder in progress. The victim of that murder, a small boy garroted with piano wire, remains unidentified as of this writing. The unfortunate Van Pelts apparently stopped to aid their neighbor, and were mercilessly clubbed with some blunt object, possibly a baseball bat. The entire town is still in shock after the grisly quintuple murders, but the undercurrent of fear is palpable. Services will be held Friday. kEvin not Piraro
