The morning after playing the organ at a Mahwah, New Jersey, church, John "Gus" DeFreese was found dead inside his car along a mountain road in Hillburn.
Someone he knew had stabbed him through the right side of his neck and throat with a broken beer bottle. A woman walking to work on Brandt Road found the 57-year-old father of six slumped behind the wheel of his 1976 Honda Civic...
His killer was likely sitting in the passenger seat of the hatchback when DeFreese was stabbed with a broken beer bottle through the neck.

Ramapo police believe DeFreese knew his killer. The Rockland medical examiner, Dr. Frederick Zugibe, said there was no evidence of a struggle in the car. DeFreese was found with his pants partly pulled down and had been drinking.
DeFreese was found dead along Brandt Road, located off Stag Hill and one of several mountain roads that cut into areas where locals liked to hang out.
