Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was called in to help determine whether McGowan, who had already been denied parole twice, should be released back into society. The chairman of the New Jersey parole board had formed a special investigations unit to look into the cases, and they asked me to consult on the McGowan case.

#2 On April 19, 1973, Joan Angela D’Alessandro was selling cookies with her sister near their home in Hillsdale, New Jersey. She was seven years old. A car pulled into the first driveway on the right, on St. Nicholas Avenue, which intersected with Florence Street. She was empathetic right from the beginning.

#3 When Joan did not come back right away, Rosemarie began to get worried. She didn’t want to alarm the children, so she tried to keep herself together. She eventually went out to look for Joan, and when she couldn’t find her, she called the police.

#4 The search for Joan continued, and the priest from St. John the Baptist Church arrived at the house with a state trooper and a German shepherd. The dog cased the area around the McGowan house, but nothing was found.
