Beechdale Road, Where Mercy is More Powerful than Murder

On Sunday, June 21, 2020, eighteen-year-old Linda Stoltzfoos of-Bird-In-Hand, Pennsylvania, was kidnapped and later murdered by Justo Smoker- a member of our family. This is our attempt to share our story of grief, anger and pain but also of unexplainable grace, kindness, and mercy at the hands of the Amish community-of which Linda Stoltzfoos was a part. We hope you can experience what it’s like when kindness upends condemnation, when heaven engages hell.
