מידע על הספר הדיגיטלי הזה

A tragic and riveting true crime story of teenage obsession, torture, the 1992 murder of a twelve-year-old Indiana girl, and its aftermath.

Twelve-year-old Shanda Sharer carefully selected what she would wear on her first day at Hazelwood Junior High in New Albany, Indiana. She wanted everything to be perfect. Yet two days later model student Shanda was in detention for fighting with another girl. Within a week, Shanda and tough, swaggering Amanda were best friends. Slowly, Shanda began to change, and her worried parents transferred her to another school. But the girls’ relationship didn’t end, sparking homicidal jealousy in another girlfriend. Then, one night, after a rock concert, a clique of four teenage girls did the unimaginable: they drove to Shanda’s home, lured her into their car and committed horrific crimes. Afterwards they drove to McDonald’s for breakfast.

Little Lost Angel chronicles this shocking story—along with the investigation and the sensational murder trial involving satanism and child molestation—in its entirety. This is the definitive account of a crime so hideous and tragic that it provoked international attention, and sent an alarming and important message to every family in America.

“What is frightening . . . is just how close to normal [these girls] may actually be.” —Jim Adams, Louisville Courier-Journal
