In the small hours of New Yearâs Eve 51 years ago, three neâer-do-wells who had been stalking Joseph âJockâ Yablonski worked up the nerve to finish the job they had been hired to do.
Fortified by whiskey and beer, they crept into Yablonskiâs 200-year-old farmhouse in Clarksville. First they gunned down Yablonskiâs daughter, Charlotte, as she slept with curlers in her hair. Then, they walked into Yablonskiâs bedroom, and fired at his wife, Margaret. Finally, they pumped bullets into Yablonskiâs torso and head as he was fumbling with his own gun. Five days passed before their bodies were found.
