On Friday the thirteenth nineteen-year-old college student, Kathy Thomas, left the house anticipating a fun-filled evening of shopping, drinks, and playing pool with friends.

Windows were closed and doors remained locked. Prepare to anticipate every move that investigators make as they follow lead after lead until they develop a suspect. When the perpetrator is finally brought to justice you’ll realize that certain parts of his story… just don’t add up…and you’ll be left to figure out if the murderer is revealing the whole truth…

A very good murder investigation story
Sometime during the night of June 13-14, 1980, Kathy Thomas was murdered in Whitewater, Wisconsin. Her body was found in Hillside Cemetery three days later.
The main body of the story is about the investigation that followed, the leads, the interviews, the suspects, the forensic evidence.
Includes photos.
If I had proofread this book, I would have made 82 corrections.

80% focused on police investigation; confirms unfortunate influence impact of bad company in life
Matter of fact writing, not bad. Attended UWW as graduate student and later, fixed-term Lecturer, so I had an interest in the locale. Descriptions of town hangouts are realistic.
