Geraldine (my grandmother) was born 1926 in Massachusetts.Don't have an exact date on George, but believe he was born in the 20's as well. He has a son (also George) born 1964.The Torso Murder trial took place in Massachusetts in 1960, it was F. Lee Bailey's first major case (he also tried the Sam Sheppard retrial and the Boston Strangler).George's wife was found dismembered, washed up in the Merrimack river, hence the name "Torso".He was tried and acquitted, but is currently serving time for another unrelated crime.The Torso case is mentioned in Bailey's book, "The Defense Never Rests".Strangely, George's daughter, Elizabeth Edgerly was murdered in 1980 by a jealous boyfriend.
