Family History
My uncle always said we had a murderer in the family. Sadly, I ignored him and years after the deaths of anyone who could tell me the story, I finally decided to research my family tree.
And there it was - my cousin, once removed was a double murderer -
Herbert Kopit.
I am using a pen name to protect some relatives who are still living and may not be as happy to share their relationship to our cousin. My intent is to produce a book of some type (e-book, self-published paperback) about the times and the crime. Please share your feedback about the true crime story which here is in blog, podcast and gallery and how I present it to assist me to decide whether to publish or not.
