A New Jersey man who killed a 7-year-old Girl Scout in 1973 has reportedly died in prison.
McGowan reportedly lived just three doors down from the little girl and was a high school chemistry teacher. "She said, ‘Goodbye, Mommy. I’ll be right back,’" Rosemarie D'Alessandro told News 12 of New Jersey, recalling the last words her daughter said to her. After McGowan admitted to the murder, little Joan's body was later found at Harriman State Park in New York state.More Related News
