Virginia Piper ransom note
#11
7 1/2 years later - two trials later - one suspect in jail for a spree killing, the other free, both acquitted in the Piper trial pg 174-5

Bobby.... a few months after the kidnapping, decided it was in everybody's best interest to move on with their lives.


Ginny rarely speaks of the experience. "She either is, at last, weary of the subject or believes that everybody else is, which, by this time, is largely true - even her sisters say they have heard enough."

The pipers had lost friends during the grueling investigation, some of whom felt they were suspected of involvement because of something the Pipers had told the FBI. Virtually everyone who had delivered something or done work at the house was checked out, planting,as Ginny's sister Carole put it, "just that little seed of doubt" as to whether Ginny trusted them. Some of the neighbors seemed to blame the Pipers for the notoriety the case brought down on their circle.

Ginny... "was different - no less gracious than she had always been, but not as cheerful and outgoing, either. She didn't seem to laugh as loud or as often as she once did."

"Ginny was frightened and damaged," her niece Helen Morrison says now. "But she would never show that outside the immediate family. These were women who put their faces on."



pg 181


(Son) Tad - "The fact that Dad had a business to run helped hi8m put a distance between the crime and his life. He was busy and didn't have time to dwell on it the way Mom did. Mom never did move on."

In 1974, Bobby got his Master's Degree in religious studies. At his graduation, he said he never understood what love was until sometime after the kidnapping when he got letters of support from all over the world, from old acquaintances, people he was in the Service with and from total strangers.

pg 184

"There is much that will never be known about Bobby, because Bobby was a very private person. He didn't confide in many people and didn't invite intimacy. ("He was cordial and funny, but you would never slap hi on the back," says a frequent visitor to the Piper home before and after the kidnapping.)
