Casper, Wyoming:1973. Eleven-year-old Amy Burridge rides with her eighteen-year-old sister, Becky, to the grocery store. When they finish their shopping, Becky's car gets a flat tire.

Years later, author and journalist Ron Franscell - who lived in Casper at the time of the crime, and was a friend to Amy and Becky - can't forget Wyoming's most shocking story of abduction, rape, and murder. Neither could Becky, the surviving sister.
