    The Crookedest Street
    A Long Walk Home: A young woman's unsolved murder and her sister's lifelong search for answers
    • On the evening of Nov. 3, 1966, 17-year-old Carol Ann Farino, a pretty, popular high school student left work at Milt's Cup & Saucer in Maplewood, New Jersey, a small town just 10 miles west of New York City and began her regular walk home.She never made it.Less than 30 minutes later, her dead body was found just a half mile away, strangled with her own stocking and left with signs of attempted sexual assault. Oddly, her purse and shoes were missing. For more than 50 years local police have been unsuccessful in their investigation, following hundreds of leads, interviewing dozens of friends and family and trying to determine who did this brutal crime and why.But the other victim of the killing who still suffers is Carol's younger sister, Cynthia. She was only 11 years old at the time and has carried scars, uncertainty, and pain from the ordeal for decades. She also still wonders who did this and why.

      After a campaign filled with mud-slinging, accusations, and corruption, Billy Dale-San Francisco's most cunning, most successful political consultant-steers former police chief Jack Callahan to a sweet victory in an underdog race for mayor on Election Night, 1991. But the city's two daily newspapers are not about to let Callahan off the hook. Both papers lost plenty of political clout by backing the incumbent. As the newspapers battle for control of the new mayor and Dale fights to keep his City Hall power intact, other forces-from rival newspaper publishers to wannabe power brokers-tangle things up with bribery, deceit, and hardball tactics. San Francisco news veteran Joe Strupp's The Crookedest Street weaves a two-year tale of political power-grabbing, backroom deals, shady operatives-even murder-peopled with the kind of colorful and eccentric characters that have run San Francisco since its Barbary Coast days.
