Description
Unsolved Child Murders: Eighteen American Cases, 1956-1998 by Emily G. Thompson The statistics are stark: nearly 52,000 juvenile homicides between 1980 and 2008, with more than 20 percent remaining unsolved. This book sheds light on 18 of these cases from 1956 to 1998, using FBI reports, police records, and interviews with families of the victims. Thompson's investigation into these crimes provides a detailed look at each case, drawing on original sources to piece together the evidence and circumstances surrounding the murders. The result is a thought-provoking exploration of a dark and often overlooked aspect of American society. By examining these individual cases, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the complexities and challenges involved in solving child murders, and the impact on families and communities affected by these crimes.
