Rebecca Morris - A Murder in My Hometown

WITH THREE BONUS CHAPTERS FROM THE BESTSELLER "Ted and Ann: The Mystery of a Missing Child and Her Neighbor Ted Bundy." On a fall evening in Corvallis, Oregon in 1967, 17-year-old Dick Kitchel, a senior at the high school, disappeared after attending a party. Ten days later, his body was spotted by two children as it floated down the Willamette River. He had been beaten and strangled. The investigation into his murder played out during one of the most dramatic years in America. Life in Corvallis, a college town, had offered a protective, idyllic life to many. But in 1967-68, Viet Nam, a presidential campaign, the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy, and the murder of Dick Kitchel changed that. His friends thought his death was ignored because Dick was from the wrong side of the tracks. Police and the District Attorney thought that they knew who had murdered the boy but never made an arrest. Decades later, a classmate, New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Morris, returns to her hometown to write about how the murder changed the town and the lives of Dick Kitchel’s friends.Rebecca Morris is the New York Times bestselling author of Boy Missing: The Search for Kyron Horman, If I Can’t Have You: Susan Powell, Her Mysterious Disappearance and the Murder of Her Children, Ted and Ann, and other books.
