This book is a truly unique glimpse into the American justice system, brought to life through the perspective of someone who endured the worst treatment possible. Now the author of his compelling second book titled 'Seven Days To Love', Nick Yarris follows on this incredible first work with an uplifting story of life after his release from prison.
**************ABOUT THE CRIME***************
On December 16, 1981, 32-year-old Linda Craig, a sales associate from the Tri-State mall in Claymont, Delaware, was abducted in her car after her shift ended. When she did not arrive at home, hours after she was due, her husband called the police. Investigators quickly located her yellow Chrysler Cordoba, abandoned on a roadway in Chichester, Pennsylvania. The following day, Craig's body was found - beaten, stabbed, and r*aped - in a church parking lot a mile and a half away from her car. Newly fallen snow covered her body. The murderer had cut open her thick winter clothing to commit the s*exual assault. The police determined that she had bled to death from multiple stab wounds in her chest. Biological materials, including s*perm samples and fingernail scrapings, were collected from the body. Police also collected gloves believed to have been left by the perpetrator from the victim's car. The biological evidence collected from the crime scenes would prove to be pivotal in the years to come.
