Summary

In August of 1989, a 17-year-old boy went hunting on his family’s property, but never returned. When his dad went out to search for him, he found his son dead in the woods. And although his manner of death was thought to be an accident, a stranger’s suspicious threat to the family convinced them that he had been murdered. This is the story of Norman Ladner.
