Narrative Information

Blanco: “Danny Crump, 28, left a package marked Handle with Care on the hood of his ex-wife’s car on September 20, 1980. The package, filled with ten sticks of dynamite and rigged to explode when opened, did just that, killing Susan Post, Crump’s ex-wife, and five members of her family and tearing apart their Olathe home. Crump was sentenced to six consecutive life terms.”

her father and mother, Robert, 51, and Norma Jeanne Post, 47,       

a sister, Susan Post, 20,

and two brothers, Richard, 21, and James Post, 10.”
