This was spray painted on the abandoned bar last summer. I drove past again this week, and it's been demolished. Glad I got this picture.
The Biegenwald murders
About 25 years ago, a string of New Jersey girls were brutally murdered. This page tells the story of the monster responsible. Richard Biegenwald's childhood was as volatile one. His father was an alcoholic and, by the time Biegenwald was 5 years old, his mother could no longer control him. When police were digging up the yard of her Staten Island home, Sally Biegenwald described her son as a hyperactive child. He was prone to lighting fires in his bedroom. Once, he ignited his bed and threw himself in the fire. At the age of 5, he was institutionalized and received shock treatment. He spent most of his childhood in New York state youth detention centers. One medical report said young Biegenwald had a death fantasy and suffered from night terror. He was released when he was 15 and began high school the next year. But about six months later, he dropped out of school and drifted through the South. Over the next three years, Biegenwald had several brushes with the law. In Nashville
Does anyone know any of the history of the 1869 white oak farm in toms river nj
ReplyDeleteThere was a section of Toms River called White Oak Bottom (there's still a White Oak Bottom road there). I posted some news items from the local paper in 1866 from that area, but I'm not sure if that's the same place you're referring to.
ReplyDeleteThe White Oak farm was on White Oak Bottom Rd. between North Bay Ave & Old Freehold Rd. It was on the left if you were coming on North Bay, and I think it was an Xmas Tree farm. The property was sold a few years ago to Prima who put in a housing development, to the best of my knowledge.
