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?
