The result of hundreds of interviews, Vanished in Vermillion is a
cold case story that flips the script on a typical investigation
narrative, revealing the biggest law enforcement embarrassment in South
Dakota history.
In May 1971, Pam Jackson and Sherri Miller were two seventeen-year-olds
driving to an end-of-the-school-year party in a rundown Studebaker Lark
when they seemingly disappeared off the face of the earth. Police back
then didn't do enough to try and find them. Investigators thirty years
later did too much. Two families endure decades of pain as they await
answers of what happened to their girls. When a third family is pulled
into the mystery, they quickly learn their nightmare is just beginning.
"Lou's terrific storytelling and investigative skills give the reader a
front-row seat as he unravels this bizarre case, chock-full of twists
and turns."
