Part 1 — What He Did
It was his gait. That’s how they knew it was him.
After almost 30 years in law enforcement, first with the Baltimore Police Department; then the Prince George’s County Police, where he retired with the rank of Major; and then as Chief of Police in District Heights, David Crawford was appointed Chief of the Laurel Police Department in 2006. Then-Mayor Craig Moe appointed Crawford after he served only three months as Acting Police Chief following the departure of Chief David Moore. Unlike Moore’s appointment, which followed an extensive country-wide search by committee, Crawford’s appointment was Moe’s alone.
According to the Laurel Leader, “Moe said he picked Crawford because he has a lot of confidence in Crawford’s ability.”
“He’s a go-getter, he puts his mind to things and completes jobs,” Moe told the Leader.
He certainly did. For almost 10 years, families in six different counties in Maryland were victimized by terrifying arson fires to their homes and cars. Two victims endured three separate arsons each on their property. Even though there were identical clues to the fires, the fact that they occurred in so many jurisdictions enabled the arsonist to go undetected for so long.
Different Jurisdictions, Separate Investigations
For eight years, separate jurisdictional investigations all uncovered identical evidence. The fires were all set between 1:30 and 4:30 am. In most of the arsons, families were inside their homes asleep. When some of the crimes were recorded on home security systems, the arsonist always dressed the same: he wore a sweatshirt with a hood drawn tightly, obscuring his face, and long pants, white or black gloves, and dark colored shoes. The videos also showed the arsonist used jugs filled with gasoline and a stick wrapped in cloth to set the fires, and he drove a silver sedan.
The break in the case came after investigators in Prince George’s County released surveillance video from a 2019 fire in Laurel. Months later, a fire official in Montgomery County saw the video and realized the man bore a striking resemblance to the person recorded in a 2017 arson he was investigating. The connection set off a multi-jurisdictional effort.
The video was shared with other jurisdictions. After months of sifting through evidence and comparing notes, investigators zeroed in on someone who had previous disagreements with the victims—David Crawford, the former Chief of Police in Laurel.
When investigators told the victim of the 2019 Laurel fire—former Laurel Police Chief Rich McLaughlin, who succeeded Crawford—McLaughlin realized that Crawford’s distinctive gait was on the video all along. According to multiple former Laurel cops, including two former Chiefs, Crawford walked kind of slumped over like someone with a bad back. It was distinctive to those who knew him well.
Police alleged that Crawford, in exacting revenge on people who had allegedly wronged him, committed a series of almost identical arsons and malicious burnings in multiple counties in Maryland.
A Mountain of Evidence
On January 4, 2021, a search and seizure warrant was executed at Crawford’s home. In his garage police found a bag in a toolbox containing a lighter, hat, and gloves. The hat and gloves tested positive for the presence of gasoline. A number of plastic containers of the same size and shape were found stored in a cardboard box in Crawford’s shed.
Police also seized numerous electronic items, including devices with Internet search histories, stored electronic documents, applications, notes, and photographs. Most damaging of all, in Crawford’s phone, police located a “target list” concealed deep in his phone’s directory. Nine of the people or families on the target list were arson victims.
Also on Crawford’s cell phone, Apple Health data tracked his movements. On many of the specific dates of the fires in the early morning hours, Crawford’s Apple Health information indicates that he was awake and moving around. This same type of movement is not noted on other days when there were no fires.
In the videos, the suspect drives a vehicle similar to a 2005 silver Toyota Camry. Crawford owns a silver 2005 Toyota Camry with a Maryland vanity license plate that reads “SURECAN,” a manufacturer of gas cans.
Crawford was arrested at his home in Ellicott City on March 3, 2021. He was denied bail and has been in custody ever since. The arrest was the culmination of a collaboration between the Prince George’s County Arson Task Force, Howard County Fire & Rescue Services, Howard County Police, Montgomery County Fire & Rescue Service - Fire and Explosives Investigations Unit, Montgomery County Police, Frederick County Division of Fire & Rescue Services, Frederick County Sheriff’s Office, and in partnership with the Maryland State Fire Marshal and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Charges
The felony charges against Crawford illustrate the enormity of his crimes:
In Frederick County, Crawford was charged with one count of 1st Degree Arson, one count of 2nd Degree Arson and one count of 1st Degree Malicious Burning.
In Howard County, Crawford was charged with eight counts of Attempted 1st Degree Murder, eight counts of Attempted 2nd Degree Murder, three counts of 1st Degree Malicious Burning, two counts of 1st Degree Arson, two counts of 2nd Degree Arson, one count of 2nd Degree Malicious Burning, and various Malicious Destruction charges.
In Prince George’s County, Crawford was charged with four counts of 1st Degree Attempted Murder, four counts of 2nd Degree Attempted Murder, one count of 1st Degree Arson, six counts of 1st Degree Malicious Burning, and five counts of 2nd Degree Arson.
In Montgomery County, Crawford was charged with three counts of 1st Degree Arson, three counts of Malicious Burning 1st Degree, and one count of 2nd Degree Arson.
The attempted murder charges reflect that the residents were inside the homes at the time Crawford set fire to the structures.
Timeline of Crawford’s Reign of Terror
The following timeline of Crawford’s activity was pieced together from the Howard County Police Department Statement of Charges; the Howard County State’s Attorney’s Office Motion to Permit Introduction of Other Crimes, Wrongs, or Acts; interviews with prosecutors, police, and victims; Laurel Police reports; and media accounts:
Arson No. 1 – Marty Flemion, Laurel, Prince George’s County
Target name on Crawford’s phone: “Martin”
May 28, 2011 – 1:43 a.m.
The victim was Marty Flemion, who, at the time, was the Deputy City Administrator with the City of Laurel.
Video surveillance showed a silver 4-door sedan drive by the home and out of the camera’s view. Minutes after the vehicle passed, the suspect appeared, walking up the sidewalk.
The suspect was staging items behind a car parked in front of Flemion’s home. The suspect walked over with two jugs to Flemion’s white, Laurel city-issued Ford Explorer and poured a liquid all over the driver’s side and top of the vehicle. The suspect then returned to the staging area to retrieve two additional jugs and poured the liquid from those jugs onto Flemion’s personally owned Saturn. The suspect then retrieved a large stick, wrapped in cloth, from the staging area, lit the stick on fire, and then lit the liquid vapors on fire on both the Explorer and the Saturn.
A neighbor heard a commotion outside and noticed a male next to his vehicle. The witness believed the individual may have been breaking into his vehicle and came outside to confront the suspect. When the witness came outside, he saw a White male, approximately 5’8”-6’0” tall, ignite the Saturn, at which time the suspect’s clothing also caught fire. The witness saw the suspect stomping his shoe in the road, trying to extinguish the fire.
During a canvass of the scene, investigators located a black Nike Monarch, size 10 shoe in the roadway, near the scene. Additionally, a black hat, white Bic lighter, and a wooden stick with cloth wrapped around the end was recovered. Investigators also found a pair of jeans almost completely consumed by fire in the storm drain, close to where investigators believe the suspect parked.
In the shoe left at the scene, investigators located hair consistent with Crawford’s dog, a German Shepard. Crawford wears size 10 shoes, and his Facebook page showed him wearing the same style shoes as the shoe left at the scene.
Searches of Crawford’s electronics show an online posting, created 17 days after the fire, to a medical forum. On the forum, Crawford indicated he was burned approximately two weeks prior to the posting and noted that he burned his calf. This is consistent with the suspect’s clothing that caught fire during the burning. During the warrant execution at Crawford’s residence, investigators took photographs of Crawford’s body and located what appeared to be a burn scar on his leg.
Crawford and Mr. Flemion worked together at the Laurel Police Department. Mr. Flemion was the Laurel Deputy City Administrator at the time Crawford was the Chief of Police. Crawford was forced to resign from that position in 2010 and Mr. Flemion was involved in the hiring and firing of the employees, including the Chief of Police. Mr. Flemion told police that he and Crawford did not have a good relationship.
Crawford’s trial in Prince George’s County is pending.
Arson No. 2 – Justin Scherstrom, Clarksburg, Montgomery County
Target name on Crawford’s phone: “Justin(3)”
Sept. 5, 2016 – 2:24 a.m.
The home’s owner, Justin Scherstrom, is the son of Crawford’s wife, Mary, and David Crawford’s stepson.
Firefighters found a fire burning in the rear of a townhouse, extending up the vinyl siding and onto the townhouse next door. An Accelerant Detection Canine Team positively alerted to the presence of an ignitable liquid along the base of the garage door. Samples taken from that area were submitted to the Maryland State Police Laboratory for analysis and were found to contain gasoline. Video surveillance from near the scene picked up the sound of liquid being poured along the garage door and three distinct clicks of a lighter. The surveillance caught the ignition and visual light change.
This was the first of three fires that occurred at Scherstrom’s home. Mr. Scherstrom described his relationship between Crawford and his family as strained and told investigators that numerous arguments occurred shortly before each of the fires.
Crawford’s trial in Montgomery County is pending.
Arson No. 3 – Erica Byrne, Ellicott City, Howard County
Target name on Crawford’s phone: “White Privilege”
March 5, 2017 – 3:50 a.m.
Howard County police responded to a vehicle fire in Ellicott City. The vehicle was identified as a 2014 Toyota Camry belonging to Erica Byrne’s mother. The rear fenders, bumper, and trunk lid were significantly damaged by the fire. The fire damage was contained to the vehicle itself.
One of the names on Crawford’s target list is “White Privilege.” During the search at Crawford’s home, investigators located a letter from his wife, Mary Crawford, to Howard County Circuit Court Judge Lenore Gelfman, explaining that Mary Crawford took offense to the term “white privilege” used during a training session Mrs. Crawford attended at Voices for Children, a nonprofit organization in Ellicott City. In the letter, Mrs. Crawford addresses her frustration with the program and its views as compared to hers. She discussed in her letter whether she should continue with the program, ultimately deciding that she would continue.
Prior to the next session Erica Bryne contacted Mrs. Crawford and told her that she was not welcome back to the program. Ms. Byrne is the Executive Director for Voices for Children, and she recalled Mrs. Crawford not agreeing with and voicing her displeasure with the “white privilege” concept taught at a volunteer program.
Investigators found searches of Ms. Bryne’s address in Crawford’s computer. Investigators believe this incident is representative of “White Privilege” from his concealed target list.
For all his crimes in Howard County, Crawford was convicted and sentenced to two life sentences plus 75 years in prison.
Arson No. 4 – Russ & Veronica Antico, Elkridge, Howard County
Target name on Crawford’s phone: “Chiro”
June 23, 2017 – 4:19 a.m.
Howard County Police and Fire Department responded to a single-family dwelling with a fire in the attached garage area. The Antico family (three adults and two children) were sleeping at the time of the fire. They escaped the home fire without injury. Fire investigators ultimately concluded the cause of the fire to be arson.
Russell and Veronica Antico are chiropractors at Howard County Chiropractic and Sports. Their practice treated Crawford on approximately 19 separate occasions. Computer searches on Crawford’s computer revealed Google Map searches of the Anticos’ home six days prior to the fire, a Spokeo search for Russell Antico, and several Facebook searches for the Anticos the day after the fire.
For all his crimes in Howard County, Crawford was convicted and sentenced to two life sentences plus 75 years in prison.
Arson No. 5 – Justin Scherstrom, Clarksburg, Montgomery County
Target name on Crawford’s phone: “Justin(3)”
Sept. 29, 2017 – 3:10 a.m.
One year after his home was set on fire, Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Units again responded to the Scherstrom’s property. They found a self-extinguished fire, which had burned unnoticed, along the base of the garage door. While on scene, investigators secured video footage. Like the previous fire, the video picked up the sound of liquid being poured from a vessel and then two or three clicks, consistent with a grill style lighter. The video then showed the ensuing flames and the suspect running from the scene. Samples taken from the scene and provided to the Maryland State Police Laboratory for testing were found to contain gasoline.
After this fire, it became clear to investigators that the same suspect was responsible for both fires at the Scherstrom home. Prior to this fire, the manner and specific details pertaining to the first Scherstrom fire were not disclosed to the Scherstrom’s or the public. Investigators noted that the specific details relative to the ignition sequence of the fire in 2016 proved identical to the ignition sequence in the 2017 fire, indicating that both fires were set by the same suspect. Both fires were an exact duplication of the manner, application, and execution of one another, which is information only that suspect would have intimate knowledge of.
Crawford’s trial in Montgomery County is pending.
Arson No. 6 – Evelyn & Scott Henderson, Ellicott City, Howard County
Target name on Crawford’s phone: “Evelyn(2)”
Dec. 9, 2017 – 3:00 a.m.
Howard County Police and Fire Department responded to a house fire in Ellicott City. The victim and her family were home and asleep at the time of the fire but were able to escape the home without injury. Fire investigators determined the fire’s origin was in the area of the garage and ultimately concluded the cause of the fire to be arson.
Crawford lives less than a mile from Evelyn Henderson. Electronic evidence seized from Crawford’s residence showed Google Map searches of the Henderson’s home prior to the fire.
Crawford contacted Henderson’s neighbors inquiring about surveillance video and circumstances surrounding the causes of the fire. After the Henderson’s house fire, Crawford shared photos of the damage with the public in the NextDoor app.
School redistricting in Howard County Public Schools resulted in a very controversial topic within the Howard County community. Mrs. Henderson was initially leading the Redistricting Organization Committee (ROC). She told police that Crawford took the lead role in the group on his own accord without any formal assignment. Mrs. Henderson believes Crawford didn’t want her to have a lead role in the group. In one instance, Mrs. Henderson recalled that she had made some changes to a PowerPoint presentation created by Crawford relating to the school redistricting. Mrs. Henderson told investigators that Crawford didn’t like the changes and eventually “demoted” Henderson within the hierarchy of the ROC.
Crawford’s phone calendar includes an entry for “Dunloggin Fire” to begin December 8, 2017 and conclude December 9, 2017. The Hendersons—and the Crawfords—live in the Dunloggin neighborhood.
For all his crimes in Howard County, Crawford was convicted and sentenced to two life sentences plus 75 years in prison.
Arson No. 7 – Bud Price, Jefferson, Frederick County
Target name on Crawford’s phone: “Price”
April 3, 2018 – 3:41 a.m.
The homeowner, Clark “Bud” Price, is a retired Prince George’s County Police Department Deputy Chief.
A Montgomery County Fire & Explosives investigator was contacted by the Frederick County Fire Marshal’s Office about a house fire they were investigating. Firefighters found a fire along the entire base of three garage doors.
Firefighters initially believed that the fire was likely caused by faulty low-voltage wiring attached to the garage door sensors and they did not call for fire investigators to respond. The homeowner, Price, believed that something wasn’t right about the cause of the fire and contacted the Frederick County Fire Marshal’s Office directly to request their response.
Samples from the scene were taken as evidence and sent to the Maryland State Police Laboratory for analysis. The results showed that the samples were found to contain gasoline. Fire investigators ultimately determined the cause of the fire to be arson.
The fire damage was contained to the attached garage. The victim and his wife were home and asleep at the time of the fire.
Later in the day after the fire, Crawford messaged Price on Facebook and asked him for photographs of the fire damage from his garage. Found on Crawford’s computer were Internet searches conducted shortly before the fire, looking up the victim’s home address.
During Crawford’s career in Prince Georges County, he often worked for then-Deputy Chief Clark “Bud” Price, the victim of this fire. According to Price, in 2000, as he was preparing for retirement, the current Chief of Police asked Price for a recommendation to fill his position.
Rather than nominating Crawford to succeed him, Price nominated another officer instead. Later, Price told investigators that during Crawford’s tenure as Laurel Police Chief, they saw each other at a funeral in Laurel. Price believed there were no ill feelings between him and Crawford but was told by another person present that Crawford was saying that Price should have been fired from the Prince George’s County Police Department.
Price recalled that when Crawford was being considered for the Chief of Police in Laurel, Price received a call from a background investigator. Price recalled the only thing he said negatively about Crawford was that Crawford lacked loyalty since he was going around telling everyone that Price should have been fired years before his retirement. Price wondered if Crawford was able to obtain that report once he was hired at Laurel.
Investigators believe the reference to “Price” found on the suspect’s target list is representative of Clark “Bud” Price, the victim of this crime.
Crawford entered an Alford plea in Frederick County. Under an Alford plea, a defendant does not admit guilt but concedes that the State has sufficient evidence to convict. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Arson No. 8 – Evelyn & Scott Henderson, Ellicott City, Howard County
Target name on Crawford’s phone: “Evelyn(2)”
Aug. 17, 2018 – overnight hours
Sometime during the overnight hours, Crawford used an ignitable liquid to burn the front lawn and shrubs at the Henderson’s home. The burned area was discovered by contractors the next day who were working on the home, which Crawford had previously burned. The burn pattern in the yard was an irregular shape. A stick with an attached burnt piece of cloth was located near the immediate area. This was very similar in nature to the stick with the cloth material used by the suspect at the scene of the 2011 fire at Marty Flemion’s home in Laurel. Fire investigators ultimately determined the cause of the fire to be arson.
Mrs. Henderson told investigators that she received a phone call from Crawford immediately after the house fire on Dec. 9, 2017. She thought it was odd because Crawford was questioning the cause of the fire and the identity of their insurance company. Mrs. Henderson became upset by Crawford’s questions and hung up. Mrs. Henderson also recalled that Crawford made disparaging comments about their yard looking bad during the time the home was under repairs from the first fire.
Contractors working on the home between the first and second fire indicated that Crawford came into the home one day and was looking around before being told to leave by contractors.
For all his crimes in Howard County, Crawford was convicted and sentenced to two life sentences plus 75 years in prison.
Arson No. 9 – Evelyn & Scott Henderson, Ellicott City, Howard County
Target name on Crawford’s phone: “Evelyn(2)”
Sept. 22, 2018 – 3:17 a.m.
Howard County Police and Fire Department again responded to a house fire in Ellicott City at the home of the Hendersons. The home was unoccupied, and renovations were almost completed from the previous fire. Samples were collected from the scene and tested positive for gasoline. Fire investigators determined the cause of the fire to be arson. The fire originated along the front of the house and spread to a majority of the rest of the house.
Once again, Crawford contacted Henderson’s neighbors inquiring about surveillance video and circumstances surrounding the causes of the fires.
Crawford’s calendar includes a calendar entry titled “Henderson Fire,” to begin September 21, 2018 and conclude on September 22, 2018. One of Crawford’s electronic devices includes a Spokeo search for “Who Lives at [the Henderson’s address].”
Mrs. Henderson stated she was told by neighbors that Crawford was contacting her surrounding neighbors inquiring about surveillance video and circumstances surrounding the cause of the fires as if he was conducting his own investigation.
Investigators believe these incidents are representative of “Evelyn (2)” from the suspect’s concealed target list, as there were two dwelling fires at the home of Evelyn Henderson.
For all his crimes in Howard County, Crawford was convicted and sentenced to two life sentences plus 75 years in prison.
Arson No. 10 – Alphonso Hawkins, Waldorf, Charles County
Target name on Crawford’s phone: “Hawkins”
March 3, 2019 – 3:54 a.m.
Fire units in Charles County responded to the report of a vehicle on fire, extending to the nearby home. The fire damaged the garage area of the home and the truck parked in front of the residence. Fire investigators ultimately determined the cause of the fire to be arson.
During the search of the electronic items belonging to Crawford, it was discovered that he was conducting Spokeo computer searches for the name “Alphonso Hawkins” prior to the date of fire. Alphonso Hawkins, Sr. was a prior Interim Chief of Police for Prince George’s County Police. The victim of this fire and owner of the vehicle is Alphonso Hawkins II, the son of the former Interim Chief. The victim and his family were home and asleep at the time of the fire.
Hawkins, Sr. doesn’t live at this address but in another county. Investigators spoke with Hawkins, Sr. about the fire, assuming he was the intended victim. Also found on Crawford’s computer were searches for “Charles County Volunteer Fire Department” and a Southern Maryland NewsNet article for the fire. Crawford also did Internet searches using the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation website, which is a website that can be utilized for researching names and addresses.
When Crawford worked at the Prince George’s County Police Department, he worked various assignments. He would have worked for both Deputy Chiefs Price and Hawkins, Sr. When both Price and Hawkins retired, on two separate occasions the suspect was not promoted to a Deputy Chief position.
Investigators believe the reference to “Hawkins” found on Crawford’s target list is representative of Alphonso Hawkins, the father of Alphonso Hawkins, II, the mistaken victim of this crime.
Crawford is a suspect in this case. No charges have been filed in Charles County of this writing. The Maryland State Fire Marshal is leading this investigation.
Arson No. 11 – Rich McLaughlin, Laurel, Prince George’s County
Target name on Crawford’s phone: “McLaughlin”
March 16, 2019 – 3:58 a.m.
Fire and EMS units arrived to find a detached garage, two vehicles parked in the driveway, and the adjacent occupied dwelling on fire. Video surveillance showed a suspect carrying two plastic containers. The suspect walked down the driveway, in between the two cars, and poured both jugs of gasoline between the cars and then poured a “trailer” between the cars to the middle of the driveway. After the fire was lit, the flame moved between the cars to the detached garage. The fire extended from the origin to the nearby cars and then to the occupied home of the victim.
Investigators obtained video footage from a neighbor’s home that showed the suspect drove a silver vehicle, consistent with the same body style and shape as a 2005 Toyota Camry. The suspect was then seen walking from the vehicle with a large bag in hand, toward the victim’s house. Several minutes later there was an obvious fire and the suspect was seen running back to the previously parked silver vehicle.
Fire investigators ultimately determined the cause of the fire to be arson. The victim and his family were asleep.
Crawford’s electronics contained numerous items of interest. One item was a PowerPoint file concerning the victim, Richard McLaughlin. The file included screenshots using the Internet to research the address, telephone number, family members of the victim, aerial views of the victim’s home, tax records indicating the victim’s address, and other personal information. Crawford made a calendar entry on his phone titled “McLaughlin Fire” on the date of the incident. Crawford’s phone indicates that he downloaded a “Police/Fire/Rescue Scanner App” at 4:30 am, just after the fire. Internet searches on the suspect’s computer were found prior to the fire, indicating the suspect was also searching for information about the victim on the internet.
During Crawford’s tenure as Laurel Police Chief, his Deputy Chief was Mclaughlin, the victim of this fire. McLaughlin told investigators that there was definite animosity between Crawford and McLaughlin. In late 2010, Crawford was asked to retire from his position as Chief and McLaughlin was promoted to succeed him.
Investigators believe the reference to “McLaughlin” found on Crawford’s target list is representative of Richard McLaughlin, the victim of this crime.
Crawford’s trial in Prince George’s County is pending.
Arson No. 12 – Scott Crawford, Brooklyn, Anne Arundel County
Target name on Crawford’s phone: “Scott”
July 27, 2019 – 3:30 a.m.
Anne Arundel County Fire & Rescue responded to a fire in Brooklyn. The homeowners are Stephen “Scott” Crawford and Teresa Crawford. Their property has a detached pool house and an above ground pool. The platform surrounding the pool and the side of the pool were on fire upon arrival. Responders detected the strong odor of gasoline coming from the area where the platform once stood.
Scott Crawford is David Crawford’s nephew. The parties had a falling out around the time Scott Crawford was hosting a pool party on July 27, 2019, and Crawford was not invited.
Investigators believe the reference to “Scott” found on Crawford’s target list is representative of Scott Crawford, the victim of this crime.
Crawford has not been formally charged in Anne Arundel County.
Arson No. 13 – Justin Scherstrom, Clarksburg, Montgomery County
Target name on Crawford’s phone: “Justin(3)”
Nov. 17, 2020 – 3:13 a.m.
Montgomery County Emergency Communications received a call from a neighbor reporting a fire. Upon arrival, a fire was observed in a detached garage. Video from a neighbor’s home picked up a loud explosion at 3:12 am. Investigators found “PulsePoint,” an application that monitors Fire and EMS calls, on Crawford’s phone. A warrant for that application showed that Crawford used his cell phone to search that PulsePoint app for “Montgomery County” and “Damascus” within the 7:00 a.m. hour on the morning of the fire. On November 20, 2020, Crawford conducted an Internet search for the fire’s address.
Investigators also determined that Crawford had been searching for the location of the Damascus Volunteer Fire Department at 7:00 am on the morning of the fire. Crawford’s phone revealed that he was on the Scherstrom’s street, several houses down, two days before the fire, at approximately 5:30 am.
Investigators learned that over the years, there were numerous heated arguments between Scherstrom and Crawford. Several of the arguments appear to have occurred shortly before the fires at the Scherstrom’s homes.
Investigators believe the reference to “Justin(3)” found on Crawford’s target list is representative of Justin Scherstrom, the victim of this crime. This was the third of three fires that occurred at the home of Justin Scherstrom.
Crawford’s trial in Montgomery County is pending.
“Part 2 — But Why?” will examine Crawford’s motives, his trials, and the status of the case. Look for it in the Fall issue of Voices of Laurel, available by October 15.
