Correspondence with John Wolfenbarger

Mr. Wolfenbarger responded to my letter finally. He apparently took it the wrong way, as I could not have been more polite and respectful. It was merely a 'here is what I am doing, I would love your input' message. Dennis Lincoln is fully on board however and we have talked at length.

Wolfenbarger gets married

Apparently John Wolfenbarger was wed last week in prison. The information was posted to his Facebook page which surprised me. Should inmates have access to Facebook? Maybe/hopefully they don't and his new wife made the page.

Wolfenbarger's Uncle in an episode of Gangland

I stumbled onto the story of Billy 'Wadd' Smith early on during the writing process. It turns out that the Detroit Diciples were the subject of an episode of History Channel's Gangland series. The Pesce murders are discussed throughout the episode.

These are some photos from the case I am currently researching. The Pesce Murders from 2002.

John Thomas Wolfenbarger - He worked with 27 year old Dennis Lincoln to plan the robbery of Marco Pesce who owned Italia Jewelry in Livonia, MI. He, however is the one that pulled the trigger on Marco, his mother and three small children killing each of them execution style.
