Ashley Pond was only twelve years old when she vanished from a school bus stop in a town south of Portland, Oregon. As a shocked community came together and police began a frantic search, another tragedy was just about to take place. Miranda Gaddis was Ashley's best friend. Just two months after Ashley's disappearance, Miranda was on her way to school when she, too, was abducted. Nobody knew the scandalous, unspeakable secret that the two girls shared ...except for one man, who lived just one block away. The police and FBI managed to overlook the girls' neighbour whose daughter was a friend of Miranda and Ashley's - and who had a catalogue of sexual-assault allegations behind him. Author Linda O'Neal was a private investigator intimately involved in this shocking case. Now, she and her co-authors - also participants in the case - tell the chilling story of one town's devastating loss ...and how the murderer was finally found.
