One shocking crime, two shattered families. The coldest case in US history.
In 1957, in Sycamore IL, a 7 year old girl goes missing. The story takes you through the search for little Maria Ridulph, the investigation, the blunders, and the family secrets. Fifty-five years later, after a deathbed confession, there is an arrest. An interesting story that shows how politics and law go hand in hand, back in 1957, as it does today. I'd recommend this book to anyone that enjoys true crime stories, and especially anyone from Illinois.
