Preface:

It was in mid-September of 1965 I learned of the incident at Exeter, a report which was interesting be cause it was on the official records of the police department and verified by two officers of the department whose character, reliability and composure in crisis have been certified firmly by their superior officers.

At 2:24 A.M. on September 3, 1965, Norman Muscarelo, three weeks away from joining the Navy, plunged into the Exeter police station in  a sate of near shock.
