My name is Paul Scharff. I am the co-author of Murder In McHenry. Murder in McHenry is my true story. On June 2, 1981 my father Ronald Scharff, was gunned down with his employee Patricia Freeman at our bar, the PM Pub. The PM Pub was located in a sleepy little town called Lakemoor Illinois. We were 40 miles Northwest of Chicago but not far enough away to be out of the reach of the Chicago Outfit (Chicago Mob). My father's case went unsolved for 27 years until one day my former babysitter, Holly asked her dad who he thought killed my dad. One of the names he said was Larry Neumann. Holly was able to trace Larry Neumann back to a book called CULLOTTA. The book CULLOTTA was about a former gangster turned government witness, Frank Cullotta. When I was told about this information I went to Amazon.com to get the book CULLOTTA. On Amazon.com I read an excerpt from the book CULLOTTA and it was my father's unsolved murder that I was reading after 27 years. That is where my story begins. My tenacious desire to name Larry Neumann as the murderer of my father and Patricia Freeman. My book Murder In McHenry is my pursuit of justice. I hope that you read my story and follow me on the web at www.mchenrycounty1981.com and on my facebook group Murder In McHenry as I continue my pursuit of Justice.
