Welcome to Litsy!

This #TrueCrime book hardly paints a flattering portrait of law enforcement in #SouthDakota! For over 40 years, the disappearance of two teens- Pam Jackson and Sherri Miller went unsolved. The 1971 investigation is paltry at best— they are assumed to have runaway (without cash, clothes or medication) but the cold case‘s reopening decades later feels more like a witch hunt with a laser focus on one theory. The author himself performs the audio!

Today's #bookhaul !! True crime, history and thrillers, so excited to read these!!

In May 1971, Pam Jackson and Sherri Miller were two seventeen-year-olds driving to an end-of-the-school-year party in a rundown Studebaker Lark when they seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth. Police back then didn‘t do enough to try and find them. Investigators thirty years later did too much. Two families endure decades of pain as they await answers of what happened to their girls.

I read 11 books in March.

Favorites were:
Vanished in Vermillion
The Secret Service of Tea and Treason
Happy Place

But none were a dud. It was a great reading month for me.

How is it already Sunday night? Too fast of a weekend. I'm in the mood for true crime, so starting Vanished in Vermillion.

This true crime I would consider local for me - east South Dakota. I'm planning on reading it in March.

In May 1971, 17-year-olds Pam Jackson & Sherri Miller visited Sherri's grandmother in hospital, then set off to an end-of-the-school-year party being held out of town. They couldn't find the spot where it was being held, so when they ran into three local boys they knew, they asked where the party was. The boys told them to follow their car & they headed out of town with the girls following in their rundown Studebaker Lark. (Continued)
