MARINO-CLAUSER, Allentown, PA Murder/Suicide
Crude way to do this, but can find nothing on this event in either 1978 or 1979. Grandchildren matured and want the facts.Their mother, Julie Clauser Crosswhite was killed in auto crash in New Bedford, MA in 2000. Julie's mother was Margaret (middle name Rose, we think) Marino who married Dale (no one can remember for sure his first name) Clauser.He shot her, then himself about 1978-1979 we think in Allentown, PA, as that is where Margaret's parents lived and Julie had mentioned she lived there as a child.She and her sister, Ann Marie were only 14 and 7 years old at the time. The grandparents' names are lost, as the grandchildren could not remember their first names. We know they had five children: Rita, Christine, Michael, Marie, and of course, Margaret. Christine married a Mcginty, Rita married a Gallo, and Michael was nicknamed "Hoppy", that is all the children remember.Anyone who can offer any information, would be greatly appreciated.These children have had tragic histories, but they have the right to know, and so curious about their relatives.I am creating a book for them if I can ever find the information, trying to accentuate the positive history from maternal and paternal sides. Can no longer find their aunt, Ann Marie (who also married and divorced one of my sons and disappeared) who we would love to find, and she also had pictures that would be a great treasure to them to copy.
