About this listen

Chelsea King was a popular high school senior, an outstanding achiever determined to make a difference. Fourteen-year-old Amber Dubois loved books and poured her heart into the animals for which she cared. Treasured by their families and friends, both girls disappeared in San Diego County, just eight miles and one year apart. The community's desperate search led authorities to John Albert Gardner, a brutal predator hiding in plain sight. Now Pulitzer-nominated author Caitlin Rother delivers an incisive, heartbreaking true-life thriller that touches our deepest fears.

The story started well even if it was shockingly sad, however it backtracked into the perpetrators childhood which seemed to be the main focus. Not enough of it was about the main subject or forensics. As a retired MHN I wasn’t surprised at how both he & his mother tried to get him the help he so desperately needed there wasn’t enough resources so he ended up mentally unwell, untreated and dangerous. This is a sad reflection of today’s lack of resources for mental health. I couldn’t help thinking that if this happened in Australia he would probably get 20 years not 3 life times.

Not as good as I thought it would be
