Garrow took joy and innocence from many
I don’t need a new book or an old book on the brutal murders committed by Robert Garrow.
Growing up in the Capital Region, I remember these senseless killings as if they happened yesterday.
The people of the Capital Region will never forget his name or his story because of the viciousness and brutality of his actions and because he stole the innocence of an entire generation.
More than that, he stole the beauty and peacefulness of the Adirondacks from us for a long time and replaced it with fear and anxiety.
