On February 16, 1982, the Rock Road massacre in rural Farwell, Michigan, claimed seven lives at a family farmhouse. Helen Gaffney, 29, and three of her children — Angela, 10; Thomas, 7; and Amy, 4 — were shot and killed in a pickup truck outside the house. Her mother, Vaudrey Post, 43; her stepfather, George W.

Post, 54; and her half-sister, Garnetta Haggart, 22, were also murdered in the attack. A one-year-old infant survived, found physically unharmed and reportedly shielded by Helen’s body during the assault. The killer was identified as 31-year-old Robert Lee Haggart, the estranged husband of Garnetta Haggart; he was arrested after fleeing the state and later convicted on multiple counts of murder and sentenced to life without parole.

Who in the Farwell area remembers the Gaffney family or has information about that day?
