Brian W. Kincaid, ’83, has authored his first book, “Murder in Old Forge, Pennsylvania: The Tragic Death of the Ziemba Children,” a definitive account of one of the most infamous crimes and sensational trials in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
On July 26, 1981, 8-year-old Cheryl Ziemba and her 4-year-old brother, Christopher, disappeared from their backyard in Old Forge, Pennsylvania. Within hours, hundreds of neighbors, police and firefighters were engaged in a frantic search.
Two days later, all hope was lost when firefighters discovered the bodies of the children in an abandoned strip-mining pit. Pennsylvania State Police arrested their 15-year-old neighbor, Joey Aulisio, who was tried as an adult and sentenced to death by electric chair. Forty-three years later, Aulisio still sits in prison.
Kincaid is a trial attorney who, for the past 35 years, has tried criminal and civil cases in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Part of his law practice is devoted to crime victims’ rights. He served as a witness during the December 2019 resentencing hearing in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Joseph Aulisio.
