Dead End Road

In June 1977, Renee Freer, nicknamed Giggles, went

out to play with her friends. A few hours later, she

was found bludgeoned to death with a rock.

In a true crime book unlike most, E.C. Hanson stumbles upon an unsolved

murder case that haunted his former stepfather. Unable to get specifics from

the old and new guard of detectives, Hanson forges ahead, mining what he can

from previously released articles and people who lived in the neighborhood at

the time. An unusual yet passionate text, DEAD END ROAD honors Renee Freer's

memory and asks its readers: how will you help?
