A Few Words From Teresa:
I would like to thank all of my readers for their gracious comments. Although I have received countless responses, I thought I would share just a few with you. I am quite moved to hear your thoughts with respect to my father’s life story.
It is wonderful to know you have enjoyed reading “The Family Debt” which has been a life long journey for me.
Be sure to revisit the site as I will be posting upcoming events regarding appearances and book signings.
Once again thank you for your support it is truly appreciated.
The original file on the murder of my father, Jack Bianco, stayed at the bottom of a musty, cardboard banker’s box in Gary, Indiana, for almost thirty years. There was no denying that his case was cold—the leads within were as dead as many of the police detectives who had worked the investigation.
The term “cold case” sounds so uninviting and final, and the prospects of reopening Dad’s case seemed equally bleak. But despite all this, in 1993, I called a retired police officer I knew, to help me find my father’s file. He asked for the assistance of his fellow officers to locate the Bianco file.
I hope all of you had a wonderful and blessed Christmas! We did here at the Bianco home and are always grateful for the Greatest present of all …. Jesus Christ!
GREAT NEWS … The Family Debt has been chosen for Editor’s Choice through my publisher! What an honor … and it’s already getting great reviews!
Now, the book is moving into design production for the cover. Next week we’ll be choosing graphics and polishing the content for the front and back cover. We will then choose the images for inside of the book with family pictures. After the final polish then off to production.
Won’t be long before you see it in a bookstore near you! I will keep you updated on the progress.
The Family Debt is the Unsolved Murder And Untold Story of Giacomo “Jack” Bianco. This is a true story about my father… yes… “my daddy … my best friend”.
It has been my heart’s desire to tell this story for quite some time. It’s actually a 40 year silent cold case… at least until now…
I’m sure it’s going to be captivating and you’ll find yourself wondering…. who killed Jack Bianco?
You see..
Jack Bianco’s life had always been a combination of family and business. Jack learned to always put his family first; no matter what price he had to pay. Had he known the consequences of his decisions would he have done things differently or stayed the course?
After 40 Years Of Unanswered Questions, It’s Time To Repay A Family Debt…
He was a man that lived his life with passion for his family, a man that worked hard at everything he did. His unselfish nature exposed year after year, experience after experience. Jack was undoubtedly a family man who never let his family down… no matter the cost.
Never asking questions, he simply chose to rise to the occasion time after time to persevere the integrity of his family and to protect his personal and business interests. He didn’t make excuses… he simply delivered what was required when it was required.
Then suddenly, one day the giving stopped… abruptly and unexpectedly… the core of the family was taken forever…. his life extinguished. Over time, more questions surfaced, but unfortunately no answers, no explanations…Did he know how steep the price would be to protect his family?
Distant memories of the past coupled with the lingering question “Why was Daddy killed?”
Did anyone care? A Daughter did… As for the detectives and investigators…they were simply told to “shelf the investigation”, this, only three days after this horrible murder… a file never to be opened again.
Why? Who did this? Was there a conspiracy? Did a robbery go bad? Was it an act of revenge from a gang member? Was there a contract, a preplanned hit? No one was talking…dead silence.
Almost 40 years later the same questions still pierce the silence once filled by a father’s voice.
Now for the first time, a family’s thoughts finally revealed and shared with you. As you read Jack Bianco’s story…the ups, the downs… the trails and tribulations, you decide…
I hope you enjoy my father’s life story.
Sincerely,
Teresa Bianco
