The Mysterious Death of Dad's Uncle
Dad was an avid genealogist of his paternal (Tognazzini) and maternal (Giorgi) families which I helped him computerize beginning in about 1980 (see Tognazzini Genealogy tab - I hope to add a Giorgi tab in the future).
As part of his research, Dad thoroughly researched the mysterious death of one of his Uncle's who had been exonerated of a murder charge in King City, California: his Uncle Frank Noe Tognazzini killed Frederick Becker, a jealous husband, in a shootout. I've included Dad's summary of the mystery in the first document below -- followed by Dad's retyping of actual articles that appeared in local newspapers (he actually researched and typed up the entries from six different newspapers; I've included the articles from two of the newspapers below.)
