Publisher's summary

An estimated 800,000 children are reported missing each year in the United States. Only one in 10,000 are found dead. Yet unsolved child murders are almost a daily occurrence - of nearly 52,000 juvenile homicides between 1980 and 2008, more than 20 percent remain open. Drawing on FBI reports, police and court records, and interviews with victims’ families, this book provides details and evidence for 18 unsolved cases from 1956 to 1998.

Better than I thought

I am into true crime and grabbed this book out if curiosity. I wasn't sure what to expect or if I could get through it as the title says bluntly what it is about. However I was very pleased. It covers numerous well-known cold cases with details about each case. Although gruesome details were shared at times, it was done tactfully and professionally and did not hinder the integrity of the case, victims, or their families. I also like how ilthe author listed the correct number to call for each case if anybody had any information. Very well done.

Enjoyed most of it, but...

some of these are very sad,I cried at a few.. Adam walsh was one of Henry lee Lucas"s victims I skipped that one and Ramsey one, the Ramsey one police botched the case. Other than those 2 if you like true crime this for you.

This was a very detailed and interesting book. Very well told. So sad to think all of these children’s cases are still unsolved.

So sad

This was kinda a dry read but so sad, but it was just read like it didn’t even matter like u were reading the paper or something. You would think u would have some kinda of non monotone feeling or voice for freaking dead children.. please do better.
