Vanished in Vermillion: The Real Story of South Dakota's Most Infamous Cold Case by Lou Raguse
5.0
Pam Jackson and Sherri Miller were the “good girls” in town. They didn’t drink or smoke weed and had never even been to a party before. After hearing about a party out near Old Highway 77 the girls decide that they want to check it out. They met up with a car of boys that night looking for directions, so the boys told them to follow behind their car and they’d get them to the party. It was going to be a fun night - a new adventure for the two “good girls.” But somewhere on that twisty-turny rural dirt road of Highway 77 the boys realized the girls’ car headlights weren’t behind them anymore. The boys had to turn around because they had missed the road they were supposed to turn off on and the girls had just behind them not long before that.
Pam and Sherri were never seen again. Failures by the police department dragged this case on longer than it should have. They said the teens had simply run away of their own accord and refused to do much for a long time. This is an amazingly well written book that takes you deep into the case of the missing teens. It took more than 40 years for the police to discover what happened to the girls that night. Between the events of that night and the 40 years that followed the case took so many twists and turns it’s almost unbelievable. This is a must read for those who love true crime stories.
I couldn’t put this down once I started reading. It’s compelling, gripping, and tears at your heart. We get a chance to get to know these two girls better. I noticed this case has a lot of 7’s associated with it. It was 1971, the girls were 17, and they were on Highway 77 when they disappeared.
I received an ARC version of this book and am leaving this review of my own accord.
