Summary:
Casper, Wyoming: 1973. Eleven-year-old Amy Burridge trips with her eighteen-year-old sister, Becky, towards the grocery store. When they end their buying, Becky’s car gets a set tire. Two men politely offer them a ride home. But they were anything but good Samaritans. Girls would suffer unspeakable offences at the hands of these males before being thrown from a bridge in to the North Platte River. One miraculously survived; the various other did not.
Years later, author and journalist Ron Franscell-a childhood friend and next-door neighbor towards the girls-can’t forget his hometown’s shocking story of abduction, rape, and murder. Exploring the type of a little town’s memory and the poison of survivor guilt, The Darkest Night time races toward a surprising ending. The effect is one of the most provocative true-crime stories of the 10 years, told by among the nation’s finest narrative journalists.
