She Went Trick-or-Treating. She Never Came Home.

She Went Trick-or-Treating. She Never Came Home.

It was Halloween night, 1973, when 9-year-old Lisa Ann French left her home in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, dressed as a little hobo and carrying a paper sack. She was only three houses away when she disappeared.

Three days later, her body was found in a rural field. The killer wasn’t a stranger. It was her neighbor, Gerald Turner, the man everyone thought they could trust. The crime horrified the nation and changed how parents let their children trick-or-treat forever.

The murder of Lisa French didn’t just destroy a family; it changed a community. Decades later, Turner remains in state custody, and Fond du Lac still remembers the little girl whose final Halloween changed everything.
