"This is a professional-style hit (shooting). It was deliberate and it's going to be very difficult to solve," Moreland said. "THIS WAS definitely planned, but we don't have a motive yet."

"They were gourmets, they would seek out the best restaurants," said Mrs.

Jack Hoy, wife of the Williston mayor. SATURDAY NIGHT the four couples had dined at the Holiday House in Ocala and left the restaurant in two cars, with the husbands following in the second auto. "The women didn't miss their husbands until they got home," Moreland said at the murder scene. "I don't know exactly when they were told (of the shooting)."
