    About this ebook

    Joanne Ena Lynn's murder brings to mind how far investigations into rape and murder cases has come since she was slain on September 19, 1949. Lynn, an 11-year-old was on her way to school around 8:00 a.m. when she was abducted by an unknown person(s). Authorities placed a 14 county alert in hopes of finding the culprit. Unfortunately, in an era before gun registration and DNA evidence, investigators were stymied numerous times. 1,000s of people were interviewed. Law enforcement traveled approximately 50,000 miles between September 1949 and December 1951, searching for the sex criminal who shot and killed young Joanne. My e-book looks meticulously at the circumstances of the crimes, the failed investigation and the ancestry of the murder victim. The Lynns lived in Hemlock, Livingston County, New York. They had relocated there in the late 1940s from Quincy, Massachusetts, where Joanne's father had worked in a shipyard. As there is no statute of limitations on the crime of murder, there is still a faint possibility that the tragedy might be resolved. Though the perpetrator is likely dead, there may be someone alive with information regarding the unsolved rape murder of Joanne Ena Lynn.

      A Death In Hemlock, New York The Unsolved Murder Of Joanne Ena Lynn - Robert Grey Reynolds, Jr

      A Death In Hemlock, New York

      The Unsolved Murder of Joanne Ena Lynn

      Robert Grey Reynolds Jr.

      Smashwords Edition 2014

      Joanne Ena Lynn (April 20, 1938-September 19, 1949) was the victim of a sex slaying that has never been solved.

      Figure 1 Joanne Ena Lynn

      The body of the 11-year-old schoolgirl was found on a farm on September 23, 1949. The location was near a grove of locust trees between the towns of Hemlock and Lima, in Livingston County, New York.

      Figure 2 Livingston County, NY Inset

      The body was discovered in a field off Route 15A, three miles south of Lima. It was in the late afternoon of September 24th when Joanne’s remains were found. The youth had disappeared on the morning of September 19th, on her way to Hemlock Central School. She disappeared on a Monday morning, having left her home at around 8 a.m. It is likely that she was murdered the same morning, approximately two hours after she vanished. The home of Joanne’s parents, Reginald and Margaret Irene Lynn, was a two story wood house. It had gables and two chimneys.

      It was the last house before one came to the entrance of Hemlock Park on Route 15A. Dr. Melville Hare (1900-1970), the Livingston County Coroner, issued a certificate of homicide by firearms by an unknown assailant or assailants. Joanne had been shot twice. Hare said that the girl had been sexually attacked. Angry citizens met in groups throughout a 50-mile radius of Joanne Lynn’s Hemlock home. They discussed the slaying and also threatened to
