In November 2018, reeveswiedeman published a story called “The Haunting of a Dream House,” about a mysterious stalker who sent creepy and threatening letters to the new owners of a home in Westfield, New Jersey. Here's what's happened since
,” about a mysterious stalker who sent creepy and threatening letters to the new owners of a home in Westfield, New Jersey. The anonymous notes were signed by someone calling themselves “The Watcher.” They thanked the Broaddus family for bringing “the young blood” — their three small children — to 657 Boulevard, a home the writer claimed to have been watching for years.
Eventually, the case was turned over to the Union County Prosecutor’s Office, which started its investigation from scratch. “This is not necessarily a case the prosecutor’s office would be involved in,” Vince Gagliardi, the former Chief of Detectives for the prosecutor’s office, told me recently. “Our lane is homicide, narcotics, financial crimes—not this stalking stuff.
The Broadduses pitched one more idea: forensic genealogy. The emerging field involves using the DNA that millions of people have uploaded in pursuit of genetic and ancestral enlightenment in order to triangulate criminal suspects through their relatives. Some researchers believe that roughly 90 percent of Americans of European descent can now be identified based on DNA uploaded to these databases.
The most intriguing new theory I heard involved a local teacher. For 33 years, Robert Kaplow taught English at Summit High School, two towns over from Westfield. Kaplow also built a career as a writer, and was best known for short comic bits he performed on NPR under the name Moe Moskowitz, of Moe Moskowitz and the Punsters, and for his 2003 novelwhich Richard Linklater adapted into a movie. The novel is filled with references to Westfield, where Kaplow grew up in the 1960s.
short of a match, there isn’t much hope for a resolution other than a confession. In the past few years, several of the early suspects have died.One of the questions I’ve gotten most was a version of this one: Did the family do it? Even people who recognize the theory’s implausibility still seem titillated by the notion. But it makes no logical sense.
