It’s been more than 50 years, but Peggy Reber, a troubled 14-year-old girl murdered in horrific circumstances in her Lebanon city home, still has no justice.
It was in the early morning hours of May 26, 1968, when Mary Reber returned to her home at 770 Maple St. after a weekend trip with friends to Atlantic City, New Jersey, and found her daughter, Margaret Lynn “Peggy” Reber, dead on a bedroom floor. She had been brutally assaulted before her murder, according to police.
