About this listen
This stranger-than-fiction cold case is about to crack wide open!Perfect for fans of I’ll be Gone in the Dark and Zodiac
On December 30th, 1999, in rural Oklahoma, 16-year-old Ashley Freeman and her best friend, Lauria Bible, were having a sleepover. The next morning, the Freeman family trailer was in flames and both girls were missing.
While rumours of drug debts, revenge killings, and police corruption abounded in the years that followed, the case remained unsolved and the girls were never found.
In 2016, crime writer Jax Miller travelled to Oklahoma to discover what really happened. What she unearthed was shocking. These forgotten towns were wild, lawless, and home to some very dark secrets.
Finally, in April 2018, the first arrests were made… could justice finally be in sight for the girls and their families?

Captivating
This true story is, amongst other things, very much a testament to the dedication and resolve of the author to see an agonisingly long project through, for the sake of the 'victims' (extended family left behind). The implied culpability of many characters in a position of power and influence, along with the more dubious or obvious suspects, is certainly shocking and deplorable. It is certainly sad that in this modern day, so much corruption and deceit can remain buried deeply for decades... Definitely an intriguing read. I shall certainly be following the issue on its fb page in the hope that the final piece of the puzzle is put in place before it's too late.
