By The Side of The Road

Ann Harrison was a typical teenager, waiting for the school bus when she quickly disappeared. The police were quickly called in, and a search was on. Before long, a heartbreaking discovery would be made - and one that would spark a different type of search - a search for a killer.

Set in Raytown, Missouri, this story follows the case, and the ins and outs of identifying suspects, the interrogations, and finally, convictions for those who were responsible for the death of Ann.

I found this book really interesting for a few reasons. Having once lived in Raytown, it was interesting to read about places that I had frequently traveled - and having heard the name Ann Harrison multiple times, decades after the crime had occurred. The facts of the case were pretty interesting as well - including a family member who lied to police, leaving the suspect free for a while longer. It was a heartbreaking case, but an interesting read. Great book for those who enjoy true crime!
