Maggie's own father did the unthinkable against a backdrop of laughter and barrel organ music at Rocky Point Amusement Park. On a summer day in 1893, little Maggie Sheffield was murdered. The murder did not tarnish Rocky Point's reputation as a premier destination, and the park operated until 1995. Many seemed to be more concerned for the murderer, Frank Sheffield, than for his young victim. The tragedy aroused a strange reaction from the peaceable community of Warwick, Rhode Island. Investigating official records and newspaper archives, author Kelly Sullivan Pezza uncovers the facts and oddities behind a grim crime in Rhode Island's summer paradise.. Frank was rumored to be insane or addicted to drugs, and after a trial, he was found not guilty by reason of insanity
