Biography
In 1973, George McFly, Goldie Wilson, Stanford S. Strickland, the editor of the Hill Valley Telegraph, Mark Dixon, and three other individuals turned the Hill Valley Civic Committee into a secret organization, to protest BiffCo, which Biff Tannen was using to further his own interests.
George was secretly murdered by Biff in an alleyway on March 15, 1973, as reported on the front page of the following day's issue of the Hill Valley Telegraph, while en route to receive a book award. He was buried in Oak Park Cemetery.
Biff had one of the members of the Hill Valley Police Department, which he owned in this timeline, plant George's wallet on Red the Bum, thus framing him for George's murder and resulting in the innocent vagrant being arrested and charged.
Dr. Emmett Brown showed Marty McFly the story of George's death in one of the bound collections of newspapers he had taken from the closed and boarded-up Hill Valley Public Library.
After Marty burned the Grays Sports Almanac in 1955, this nightmarish timeline was overwritten by 1985B and the aforementioned events never happened.
Behind the scenes
- On page 123 of Craig Shaw Gardner's novelization (see first Quote above), a misprint resulted in the first word of the line En Route to Receive Book Award! reading the grammatically incorrect 'Enroute' instead. This error has been corrected here.
