What happened to Tania? Byron Christopher

On January 20, 1983, six-year-old Tania Murrell vanished on her way home from an elementary school in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Hundreds of searchers - police, volunteers and friends and relatives of Tania - looked high and wide, but there was no trace of her. No clothing, school books, phone calls ... nothing. Zip. And no witnesses. It's as though Tania had somehow vanished into thin air. One moment, she's standing on a sidewalk; next moment, she's gone. What ... happened The child's disappearance smells of foul play. Police believe the grade-one student was abducted and murdered. But by whom? And why on earth would anyone do something like that? A heavy-drinking acquaintance of the family would morph from a person of interest to prime suspect. The man never faced criminal charges because detectives felt they didn't have enough evidence for a conviction. This book walks the reader through every major development in this tragic file from the abduction on Day One ... to, years later, a police interrogation of the prime suspect ... to what eventually happened to him.
