Synopsis
In 1990, Jon and Mickey Bowie, identical twin brothers, met up with friends at a Red Roof Inn outside of Columbia, Maryland. There were fifteen teenagers and two cases of beer, and the music was probably louder than it should have been. When police came to break up the party, they violently beat the twins, leaving their faces bloody and their eyes swollen shut. Outraged, the Bowie brothers pressed charges for excessive force, leading to months of harassment and intimidation from the police. Just before they were due in court, Jon Bowie's body was discovered on top of the backstop at the high school baseball field. His death was immediately declared a suicide. Was there something else going on in Columbia? As law enforcement failed to find answers and seemed intent on preventing the truth from surfacing, family friend David Parrish uncovered a system of cover-ups that could only lead to one conclusion - Jon's death was an act of murder.

Paperback. Condition: Good. A PopSugar Best True Crime Book of 2020 "Losing Jontakes you on a journey for truth that will have you questioning everything from start to finish. Broken trust with the police that have sworn to protect you, the unimaginable grief of a mother and the strength of a community that wants answers. David Parrish provides a daring examination of a tragedy that changed a community forever." -Gregg Olsen, #1New York Timesbestselling author David Parrish was in disbelief when he learned that nineteen-year-old Jon Bowie's body had been found hanged from a backstop at the local high school's baseball field and the death declared a suicide. David had known Jon and his twin brother since they were boys. He had coached them on the baseball field and welcomed them into his home for sleepovers with his own sons. However, when David learned how Jon's body was found, he felt compelled to find the facts behind this incomprehensible tragedy. Soon, David would learn of a brutal incident at a local motel where Jon and his brother had been severely beaten by police officers, the charges filed against those officers, and the months of harassment and intimidation Jon and his brother endured. Few in the utopian community of Columbia, Maryland, believed Jon could commit such a final act. Like many others, David wondered how a fateful night of teens blowing off steam could lead to such a tragic end. As law enforcement failed to find answers and seemed intent on preventing the truth from surfacing, David uncovered a system of cover-ups that could only lead to one conclusion-Jon's death was an act of murder. "A true page turner, filled with almost-too-unbelievable-to-be-true details of one community's fight to find justice for one of its own . . . the issues raised, particularly when it comes to questions of police brutality and cover-ups, are very much relevant today." -New York Times bestselling author Lisa Pulitzer Includes 16 Pages of Photographs.
