Kim Kolton's Crime Wire: Paul Scharff, Murder in McHenry

Paul Scharff, author of Murder in McHenry: A Son’s Pursuit of Justice

Paul Scharff was 11 years old when his father, Ron Scharff, and employee, Patricia Freeman, were gunned down, gangland execution style, in sleepy McHenry County, just outside of Chicago.  27 years later, Paul learned the truth about the murders. A simple Mafia hit, and information involving a foot soldier turned government informant,  the truth was revealed in another author’s book!

Seeking not revenge, but justice, for the murder of his father, Scharff’s book exposes, not only the Chicago Outfit, but the corruption of McHenry County, Illinois, and still there are too many questions left unanswered.
