Anne Morell Petrillo: Daughter Of Anne Scripps Douglas, Murdered Newspaper Heiress, Believed Dead After Jumping Off Tappan Zee Bridge | 09/25/09 09:53 PM |

I, N.Y. — New York state police believe the daughter of slain newspaper heiress Anne Scripps Douglas jumped to her death from the same bridge her stepfather did after he killed her mother.

Police on Friday were searching the Hudson River near the Tappan Zee Bridge, around 25 miles north of Manhattan, for the body of Anne Morell Petrillo. Authorities say they found a note and believe she got out of her car on and jumped off the bridge Thursday evening.

Petrillo's mother, the great-great-granddaughter of Detroit News founder James Scripps, was beaten to death with a hammer in Anne's bedroom by her stepfather, Scott Douglas, on New Year's Eve in 1993.

Douglas fled and jumped to his death from the same bridge. His body was found three months after the slaying.

Information from: The Journal News, http://www.thejournalnews.comI will try to find the follow up story..I know they did find her body. When her dad died, they gave his daughter his liver..sad.
Quote: When Morell got news of Scripps’ assault, he traveled to her bedside. Tony Morell had cirrhosis
and had a short time to live. After Scripps died, doctors used Scripp’s liver to give Morell his liver transplant.Here is a link to Anne's daughter's blogspot from 2008 before her death, about the night she found her mom.http://annscrippsdouglasdaughter.blogspot.com/2008/07/transcript-of-anns-daughter-talking.html

No word on a book ~ especially since one daughter is dead, and they really are private and haven't discussed what happened for quite a few years...

we will keep each other posted on this though :seeya:
