Silent Testimony by Roger W. Walker

Walker chronicles the complex no-body homicide investigation launched against her husband, Thomas. Explore the intricate police work, the family's anguish, a near mistrial, and the compelling circumstantial evidence—the "silent testimony"—that ultimately secured a conviction. Years later, shocking truths about Florence's fate finally surface.
