Unanswered Cries by Thomas French

A Florida True Crime Investigation of the Karen Gregory Murder, Missing Evidence, and Neighborhood Betrayal

In May 1984, thirty-six-year-old graphic artist Karen Gregory was brutally stabbed to death inside her home in the quiet neighborhood of Gulfport, Florida. Upon arriving at the bloody crime scene, Gulfport Detective Larry Tosi was met with baffling forensic contradictions, including barefoot prints, a missing teddy bear, and a bizarre lack of forced entry.

Tosi's investigation dragged on for years, hindered by dead ends and false leads. Eventually, the evidence pointed toward an unthinkable suspect: George Lewis, a respected local firefighter, neighborhood watch captain, and close friend of the local police department who had lived just houses away from the victim.
