Great true crime novel

This author has done a fantastic job retelling this horrible tale that occurred in my home town in 1973. As a small child, I heard of this terrible event, but was never sure of all the details. The author did a great job recounting the events of that night and the aftermath that followed. A great true crime novel that grips the reader to the very end. A must read for any reader!

Exceptionally well written heartbreaking story

This is one of the best written true crime novels I've read. While the writing is excellent, the story is heart wrenching and it had me in tears. Such is the power of the writing. If you are a true crime buff then do yourself a favor and read this.

good read

very sad story, very upsetting and heartbreaking. It reads well and flo's good, one section with alot of legle mumble jumble that is neither here nor there, I just wanna know if the creeps are still in jail in plain terms. But overall the writer did such an awesome job making you feel as if you were there, alot of work on his behalf.

Product Description

Casper, Wyoming:1973. Eleven-year-old Amy Burridge rides with her eighteen-year-old sister, Becky, to the grocery store. When they finish their shopping, Becky’s car gets a flat tire. Two men politely offer them a ride home. But they were anything but Good Samaritans. The girls would suffer unspeakable crimes at the hands of these men before being thrown from a bridge into the North Platte River. One miraculously survived. The other did not.



Years later, author and journalist Ron Franscell—who lived in Casper at the time of the crime, and was a friend to Amy and Becky—can’t forget Wyoming’s most shocking story of abduction, rape, and murder. Neither could Becky, the surviving sister. The two men who violated her and Amy were sentenced to life in prison, but the demons of her past kept haunting Becky…until she met her fate years later at the same bridge where she’d lost her sister.
