Background
On the morning of June 24, 1974, 14-year-old Margaret Ellen Fox left her home and made her way to a bus stop near her family’s house in Burlington, New Jersey. Margaret was accompanied by her younger brother, Joe, who waved goodbye as she boarded the 8:40 a.m. bus to take the seven-mile trip to nearby Mount Holly.
Margaret was in good spirits that day, as she had just recently begun her summer vacation after finishing 8th grade at St. Paul School in Burlington.
