Synopsis

In May, 1988, in Everett, Washington, four-year-old Feather Rahier disappeared while playing outside after dinner. Her frantic cries drew Feather's mother to the dark garage that was home to Richard Matthew Clark. Clark had stolen the child, bound and gagged her, and begun to undress her. Only at the last instant was the little girl saved by her mother's desperate intervention. The next victim wouldn't be so fortunate.

Continuing on my true crime kick, I recall this story about a "friend" abducting and murdering a 7 year old named Roxane Doll north of where I grew up in the mid 1990's. Have finally figured out why the author writes about so many WA state murders--he lives there.......more
