Synopsis

“Please, no! Don't make me go back to the park. I can draw you a map. I promise I can show you where everything happened.”

The lone survivor trembled as she pleaded with investigators.

For over forty years, the events of what happened at Gitchie Manitou the night of November 17, 1973, remained a mystery to all but a few. Then the lone survivor broke her silence. Five teenage friends had driven to the park to spend a few hours around a campfire. By morning, four had been murdered, and only she was still alive.

Gitchie Girl Uncovered is a chilling account of the strange twists and bizarre details discovered by an elite team of investigators under intense pressure to catch the killers. After spending hundreds of hours with the lone survivor, investigators, and family members of the slain boys, and by gaining access to court records, authors Phil and Sandy Hamman give the listener a what-will-happen-next inside story of the monstrous crime that shook the Midwest. They bring the listener into the deviant world of the brutal killers with an up-close look at how they think and operate.

I remember hearing about Gitchie and that it was haunted, but never went out there with High School or college friends.

Needed to get my mind off A Little Life, so I picked this home state folklore detective murder mystery book. It’s so scary, I had to read it all in one sitting. We used to go out to Gitchie and feel the spooks from head to toe. I had no idea what the survivor went through. V happy to know the full s......more

I had read Gitchie Girl prior to reading this! I couldn’t put either one down and read them both in one day! Growing up in SD and living here my whole life, made this story hit very close to home. Thank you Sandra for your bravery throughout the trials and into today! Back in a time when women were s......more
