Sample Book Insights:

#1 On January 26, 1977, Melanie Flynn, a part-time referee, called her father to ask for a directory of Kentucky high school coaches. She never arrived home for dinner that night. Two days later, her boss called her family to find out where she was.

#2 In 1975, Melanie had decided to embark on a singing career. She hooked up with an older, married man who paid her rent and travel expenses for a while. She apparently remained close to Crespo during this period.

#3 In 1976, Melanie began dating two Lexington policemen, Bill Canan and Andrew Thornton. They were known for their fast-paced lives that included the best parties and nightclubs, flashy rolls of hundred-dollar bills, and guns discreetly tucked into their ankle or shoulder holsters.

#4 Ralph Ross, the head of the Organized Crime and Intelligence units for the Kentucky State Police, had sources and informants who told him that Drew Thornton and Bill Canan were responsible for Melanie’s disappearance and death. But he had no evidence, and his access to the Lexington Police Department’s investigative files seemed to be blocked.
