Welcome to Litsy!

Another not widely know serial murder. In the 70s several children went missing and were then found dead. Nobody has ever been charged with the murders. This happened in the suburbs of Detroit. What was uncovered was a deep and thriving child sex/porn network involving auto executives and children of executives.
There was/is speculation of cover ups and incredibly bungled police work.

A very difficult read, which I do recommend but with a very serious trigger warning for child sexual abuse. As well as the crimes here being horrifying, and they are some of the most horrifying I‘ve read about, the way the families of the victims were ignored and treated with no respect by the authorities was terrible to read about. A good, well-researched telling of a horrible story.

My mission for today is to get things sorted at my new place with my boyfriend and (while he‘s out picking things up) make progress on the tagged book for #scarathlon2021. It‘s a very dark and difficult read, and I might not have picked it if I‘d known about the terrible violence towards children it describes, but it feels important to learn about the many ways the system failed these children and how investigations like this need to be managed
