"Three Boys Missing tells the heart-breaking story of a brutal attack and murder in 1955. This tragedy shocked the nation and brought further dismay when the perpetrator escaped justice for more than 40 years. As one of the first law enforcement officers assigned to the case, Mr. James Jack has dedicated 50 years of his life to ensure that the significance of this story is not lost in history.

It forced us to acknowledge the undeniable existence of pedophilia in our society and raised our awareness of the horrible people who prey on our children."--Dusk jacket flap.… (more)

I have never heard of this case before, just randomly picked it off the shelf and this was an excellent book! James A. Jack must have an unbelievably superb memory! I loved how detailed he made this book with times and places all laid out, but - I wanted to know more about the bowling alley and the basement room. When I Googled the "Peterson-Shuessler murders" I kept seeing pictures of a room, so I assumed that was what was mentioned in the book...and the tagline of "The Tragedy That Exposed the Pedophilia Underworld" was a bit misleading. I expected them to find a whole dungeon or something! But still an excellent book!! (
