Summary

On a cold, rainy spring night in April of 1987, seventeen year old Martha Leanne Green mysteriously vanished.  After the car she and her brother were driving ran out of gas, Leanne remained behind in the car while her brother went to get help.  Returning less than fifteen minutes later, the car was empty and Leanne has never been seen again.  

Investigators determined the seventeen year old had been abducted and several suspects were identified.  One, in particular, was thought to have taken Leanne and committed similar crimes throughout the area.  Law enforcement never collected enough evidence to charge the man and he took his secrets to his grave.

What happened to Leanne Green?  Was she abducted by a stranger or perhaps taken by someone she knew and believed she could trust?  Or did the seventeen year old encounter a ruthless and brutal killer all alone on a dark, deserted highway?
