Police say that it was the same gun that killed Smith. Additionally, Fonder was a suspect in the 1993 disappearance of her father Edward F. Fonder III. The Bucks County First Assistant D.A. in Bucks County said that case is not a closed matter.〔(Websleuths.com )〕 ==Early life== Mary Jane Fonder was born on July 5, 1942, to Alice and Edward Fonder III of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Fonder and her brother, Edward Fonder IV, grew up in West Philadelphia, where their father was a machinist and their mother was a publishing company proofreader. Fonder experienced emotional problems and occasional nervous breakdowns from as early as age eight. Also when she was eight, her family purchased a country home in Springfield Township, a small rural town in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. She attended John Bartram High School in Philadelphia, but had difficulty with her schoolwork due to the emotional issues. She was institutionalized for one month during her childhood after attempting to commit suicide by overdosing on chloral hydrate. Shortly afterward, Fonder dropped out of high school and found social interactions increasingly difficult. Fonder worked various jobs during her early adulthood, including at a ceramics studio, a department store, various knitting factories and the J.P. Lippincott publishing company, where she was a punchcard operator. Fonder did not start dating until her late thirties and never formed any serious romantic relationships. In 1987, at age 45, Fonder moved back to Springfield Township to care for her ailing parents. Five years later, her mother had a leg amputated due to circulation problems, but the surgery went badly and she died after in September 1992 after a four-month coma. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mary Jane Fonder」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
