Synopsis

With stark precision, John Heidenry deftly retells the bone chilling true story that captivated a nation and wrenched the hearts of 1953 Missouri. In this haunting narrative he depicts the kidnapping of little Bobby Greenlease - only six years old - and his brutal murder by two grifters born out of the seedy underbelly of the Missouri crime world. Ripped from the headlines, this little told story is rife with corruption and greed and its players without remorse. In a time when people left their doors unlocked and children were safe playing in the streets, this is the crime that paralyzed them with fear, imprisoned them in their homes, and left them wanting answers they may never find.

Revue de presse

"Heidenry delivers a lean, mean account of an infamous 1953 kidnapping & murder....Harsh, chilling, lurid and gripping." --Kirkus Reviews
