One Silent Voice: The Jeannie Singleton Story
On May 23, 1955, 8 year-old Jeannie Singleton disappeared on her way home from school in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
The next nine days went down in Michigan’s history as the second largest manhunt. The searchers included Western Michigan University students, youth groups, workers from several companies that were voluntarily shut down to assist in the search and troops from multiple branches of the military.
Despite the manpower being used to search for Jeannie, it would be five youths playing hide-and-seek in a pine grove that would make a horrific discovery they would never forget, a discovery that allowed Jeannie to be brought home one final time.
The rape and murder of Jeannie Singleton remains unsolved.
Read about the case that left Kalamazoo parents gripped in fear and learn of a small girl that should never be forgotten; let her silent voice now be heard.

I appreciated facts presented from never opened police files. But that's it. Middle school level writing, with format wildly change changing from third party news narrative to one author's personal feelings. So many errors! "1953 blue Chevrolet Tudor", there is no such model. From the police report it was a two door, likely the lowly 150 Series. Many street names misspelled; e.g., Mossel for Mosel Ave, the list goes on.
Near the end of the book, the authors attempt to pin missing evidence after many years on a potential relative in the Allegan County sheriff's department. A 15 minute internet search discovered that yes, that sheriff deputy was an older cousin of the main suspect, however the families were not connected in any way whatsoever. This information is available to everyone, and it didn't take a detective to quickly find it.
