Last week, in a phone interview with TIME, Norman insisted that he and his brothers had stopped stealing a year ago. Said he: "We got out of the business then." Moreover, he said, "the cops know we were miles away the night Robin was killed, and besides, it was James Sampson in that motel room in bed with Robin. She said it was Bruce, too, because the cops promised her they'd let Little Bruce go if he helped them get his father."

Whatever the truth, James Sampson apparently will not be able to shed any light on the Johnstons. Informants have told police that he lies in a grave somewhere in northern Chester County.
