No Body, No Murder?

This book took me only 2 days to read, and it only took that long because I did need to stop and eat. The start of the book is a little slow…I wondered where the explanation of football coaches was going, but it tied in at the end (I think). This book is a true story about a girl that was murdered years ago, the first murder trial in the state of Virginia that had a murder trial without the body. When reading the story, one must remember that all the modern technology that we have available today was not available in the 80’s. Blood samples could only give blood type, not the DNA breakdown it can give today. All the circumstantial evidence points to one person, a person today who still claims his innocence…but was found guilty. The sad thing is, he has never revealed the location of the body…one of the major reasons many think he has never been paroled. Gina Hall deserves to be located, and Stephen Epperly needs to give this family the closure they deserve.
