Used this book for information for my podcast. I live in the area, and am familiar with many locations from this book and the story of Debbie Kline’s disappearance and murder. However, I was unaware of so many of the details! Cox and Peiffer did a wonderful job writing about Debbie’s tragic story, and bringing awareness to her case.

Debbie was a beautiful girl, and sounded like she was a wonderful person. May she rest in peace.

True crime story based upon the 1976 kidnapping and murder of Debbie Kline. Written by reporter Robert V. Cox and photojournalist Kenneth L. Peiffer, Jr., this story takes place in Waynesboro, PA, Franklin County, which borders my home county of Huntingdon, PA. Missing Person was a quick, easy read, and interested me primarily because of my familiarity with the landmarks described, as well as the writers' interactions with psychic detective Dorothy Allison.
