The listing, TRUE CRIME--"Too Beautiful A Day To Die" by Joyce Egginton has ended.
It was the perfect place to raise a family, until babysitter Laurie Dann tried to kill the children.....
For years, the affluent village of Winnetka politely ignored Laurie Dann's disturbing behavior: the purchase of hand guns, telephoned death threats, the mysterious stabbing of her former husband with an ice pick.....
Then on May 20th, 1988, the 30-year-old babysitter delivered poisoned cookies to neighbors, and set fire to a family's home. Armed with three revolvers, she entered the local elementary school and started shooting. Five children were injured, one boy dead.
Laurie Dann killed herself that fateful day. But the men, women, and children who lived through the ordeal would never forget the shock of random violence...and the courage they found within themselves.
