Abduction: The Tears of a Lonely Pathway: 5 True Stories of Contemporary Abduction in America

by Kristy L. Cambron

" 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 finding out what happened to them and making sure they get the justice they rightfully deserve.

Not a great book

Nothing great about thiz book.. it contains information that can be found in any online article ir video. The author behaves like an arm chair detective putting forth theories based on het views or opinion. She writes more about her own feelings, thoughts and takes no effort to provide info gathered by speaking to people actually involved in the incidents. Not worth it.

Loved it

The author has a genuine heart for this subject. She writes effectively and logically with an experienced mind for the criminal system's workings. Ms. Cambron is to be applauded for her path and I sincerely hope she continues writing on this subject.

I'm fascinated by missing persons cases so this book immediately got my attention. Although I'm familiar with all five cases I did learn more facts about Jacob Wetterling's case. I found the Vernon Seitz connection very intriguing yet odd. I just wish there was more info available on Ilene Mischoff's case than what is available. I also enjoyed reading the author's predictions/opinions. All in all I would recommend to anyone interested in these types of cases.
