Tammy Mal

When nine-year-old Mae Ruth Barrett failed to return home on the stormy night of January 2, 1945, her family immediately feared an accident. But when the child's brutally beaten body was found the next day, secreted in an abandoned house, the small town of Vandling was left reeling. Who could kill a child walking home from church? Stunned by the barbaric events, residents would become even more horrified when suspicion soon focused on a most unlikely suspect. In harrowing detail, learn how the police solved one of the most sadistic crimes in history, long before the use of computers, DNA, or modern forensic science.
