About this listen
Casper, Wyoming: 1973. Eleven-year-old Amy Burridge rides with her 18-year-old sister, Becky, to the grocery store. When they finish their shopping, Becky's car gets a flat tire. Two men politely offer them a ride home. Yet they were anything but good Samaritans. The girls would suffer unspeakable crimes at the hands of these men before being thrown from a bridge into the North Platte River. One miraculously survived; the other did not.
Years later author and journalist Ron Franscell - a childhood friend and next-door neighbor to the girls - can't forget his hometown's shocking story of abduction, rape, and murder. Exploring the nature of a small town's memory and the poison of survivor guilt, The Darkest Night races toward a shocking ending. The result is one of the most provocative true-crime stories of the decade, told by one of the nation's finest narrative journalists.

Highly recommend
One of the saddest stories I’ve read.
Beautifully written and narrated this story is more than a story. If you are a true crime enthusiast you will be impressed by the authorship and how this story leaves you feeling on the journey it takes you on.
RIP Amy and Becky

A heartrending story
A well told although horrifically tragic story, there were several times the story brought me tears. The perpetrators of crime have no conception of the ripple effect of their actions.
