In 1958, a brutal murder took place on the campus of Delaware College (which is now called the University of Delaware). But this was not a furtive slaying in a dorm room, or a student love triangle gone wrong. This murder took place in the middle of the day, in the middle of a public school building, in the middle of a brawl. Student John Edward Roach was stabbed in the throat in a room full of brawling young men – yet no one saw his murderer strike. His last whispered words were heard by many – but his murderer went free. Roach’s unsolved homicide has left the Delaware institution with a legacy of ghost stories and tales of hauntings that continue to this day. This is the story of John Edward Roach.
