Overview
President Gerald Ford suffered two attempts on his life during his term in office: one by a young woman in Charles Manson's Family, Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, and the other by a far more unlikely candidateāan average middle-aged mother of fiveāSara Jane Moore. After thirty years in contact with Moore in prison, journalist Geri Spieler deconstructs her life in Housewife Assassin, tracing the path from Mooreās small-town upbringing in West Virginia to that fateful moment when she tried to assassinate the president.Ā
Ā Throughout Mooreās dodgy life she hid her identity and misled those around her. Through the turbulent 60s and 70s, she married five times, abandoned children, faked amnesia, befriended Patty Hearstās father, became a revolutionary, and worked as an FBI informant turned double agent feeding information to the underground radicals, all before the assassination attempt.Ā
From Spielerās insider correspondence and independent research, including interviews with President Ford himself, she confirms details (the gunshot missed the Presidentās head by six inches) and debunks others (Sara Jane did not āshoot wildā as the press had reported) to deliver a compelling profile of a society lady turned elusive assassin.
