"Mr. Penderghast is the most trusting and the most kind of any of the elderly I deliver to."
Mr. Penderghast was an elderly man who received deliveries from the Meals on Wheels program.
On August 6, 1988, Norma Jennings had Laura Palmer make Penderghast's delivery so that she could visit her husband in prison.
Laura discovered his body in his bedroom, clutching the doorknob. She sat down next to the body for about an hour before calling an ambulance.[1]
