Publisher's Synopsis
"Abduction: The Tears of a Lonely Pathway" is a collection of 5 true stories about contemporary abduction in America, all of which are guaranteed to penetrate your soul to the core of its very existence. In California a 24-year-old beauty queen, Mitrice Richardson, disappears under mysterious circumstances and nearly 10 months later her bones are recovered in a Malibu canyon. In Minnesota an 11-year-old boy, Jacob Wetterling, sets off on an innocent bike ride with his younger brother and friend, yet only two of them return home safely. Lauria Bible and Ashley Freeman, 2 teenage girls from Oklahoma, are having a sleepover when the home they are staying in suddenly bursts into flames, yet no signs of the girls remains were ever found and in California a 13-year-old girl, Ilene Misheloff, leaves school one day to attend an ice-skating practice and fails to make it to her destination. This book focuses on the circumstances surrounding their disappearances, what obstacles families of the missing must go through in order to get law enforcement and the media to take notice, theories as to what may have happened to them, and how we can help keep their memories alive. Although the faces of the missing may include people of different ages, ethnicities, and involves cases stemming from all across the United States, there is one universal message that emerges that unites them all: finding out what happened to them and making sure they get the justice they rightfully deserve.
