Dear Reader:

The book you are about to read is the latest bestseller from the St. Martin’s True Crime Library, the imprint
The New York Times
calls “the leader in true crime!” Each month, we offer you a fascinating account of the latest, most sensational crime that has captured the national attention. St. Martin’s is the publisher of Tina Dirmann’s
VANISHED AT SEA
, the story of a former child actor who posed as a yacht buyer in order to lure an older couple out to sea, then robbed them and threw them overboard to their deaths. John Glatt’s riveting and horrifying
SECRETS IN THE CELLAR
shines a light on the man who shocked the world when it was revealed that he had kept his daughter locked in his hidden basement for 24 years. In the Edgar-nominated
WRITTEN IN BLOOD
, Diane Fanning looks at Michael Petersen, a Marine-turned-novelist found guilty of beating his wife to death and pushing her down the stairs of their home—only to reveal another similar death from his past. In the book you now hold,
LOST AND FOUND
, John Glatt takes a look at one of the most incredible cases of abduction to make national headlines in recent years.

St. Martin’s True Crime Library gives you the stories behind the headlines. Our authors take you right to the scene of the crime and into the minds of the most notorious murderers to show you what really makes them tick. St. Martin’s True Crime Library paperbacks are better than the most terrifying thriller, because it’s all true! The next time you want a crackling good read, make sure it’s got the St. Martin’s True Crime Library logo on the spine—you’ll be up all night!

Acknowledgments

After Jaycee Lee Dugard’s allegedly heartless kidnapper Phillip Garrido was unmasked as a twenty-first-century Charles Manson, many questioned how a human being could commit such unspeakable crimes. But Garrido’s arrest came as no surprise to Katie Callaway Hall, who had been his first victim in 1976, when he had forcibly taken her across the California/Nevada border to rape her.

As a result, Garrido was sent to prison for half a century. But after only serving 11 years, he had cunningly managed to beat the system to be freed back into society.

Soon after getting out, he tracked Katie down to the casino where she was working and threatened her. Terrified, she warned his parole officer that it was only a matter of time before he struck again, but was told nothing could be done.
