“A dark secret...uncovered from the ashes”

The accidental carbon monoxide deaths of her brothers and sisters in 1966 left Shelly Summers an only child that encountered both sexual and physical abuse. Three of her own children would populate the rural cemetery east of the flashing yellow light in the little hamlet in Central New York having met horrific deaths. Two of which were burned alive. Three other children that had a connection with Shelly would meet a fiery demise and a seventh child would mysteriously drown. Forty-two years of fires would follow Shelly until police, prosecutors and fire investigators of multiple counties and agencies utilized their resources to end “Teflon Shelly’s” reign of terror.
