More About Cynthia and First He Killed The Minuteman:
Storrs, Connecticut, U.S.A. January 2025 – News release from author Cynthia Herbert-Bruschi Adams sharing the gripping description of murders and other crimes committed by honors student Peter Manfredonia, who spent Memorial Day Weekend, 2020, in a frenzy. His actions claimed the life of a Willington man, Ted DeMers (model for Connecticut’s Minuteman statue), and severely injured his neighbor, both with a Samurai sword. While escaping, Manfredonia holds a third Willington man hostage in his own home. But two days later, the terror continues as Manfredonia robs and murders a childhood friend in Derby and kidnaps his girlfriend. The nightmare goes further as he is pursued across state lines for six days. The author interviews survivors and the perpetrator. The story is told with vivid, and at times horrifying, descriptions.
