Beware the Abbott Boys
In light of new findings, the truth surrounding a fatal accident and a small-town hero may prove sinister.
Silver Creek, VT—Nearly sixty years after Peter J. Abbott inherited a property worth millions under suspicious circumstances, a new tragedy brings this haunted history to the surface.
Sixteen-year-old local football star, Adam Abbott, sustained extensive injuries during an apparent attempt to free Sanchez from the burning vehicle.
Though unable to rescue Sanchez, Abbott was initially hailed as a hero for his efforts; however, when investigators announced earlier this week that the fire was caused by an exposed engine wire, authorities stated they had not yet ruled out foul play.
As these new findings lead to speculations concerning possible negligence or even homicide, some Silver Creek residents share recollections of the Abbott family’s checkered past.
One resident, seventy-three-year-old Velma Perkins, says she has lived in Silver Creek since Peter J.
Abbott was alive and running the then-private auto shop himself.
“The second Peter moved into that mansion,” Perkins said, “he let the place go to hell. The plants grew so high, they covered everything, and then he started making this huge racket. Called it working on cars. But we all knew something else was going on up there, behind that gate.”
Though authorities have not yet determined the manner of Sanchez’s death, many in the community have reached their own conclusions.
“Always knew something was off with those people,” said Timothy Shaw, owner of The Silver Spoon diner.
“The repair shop is popular because it’s the only shop in town—that’s it.
I took my truck there one time, and let me tell you, it was the last time.
Those boys need to stay inside their big house and leave the rest of us good people alone.
They have no business working on our cars, and they certainly shouldn’t be allowed in our school, interacting with our children. ”
“They never belonged,” added Perkins. “Never. Whatever’s wrong with them, it runs in the blood.”
