Trail of Corn

A phone call with only two minutes to spare, a mother's anguish cries, soil on boots nine inches down in the grave, human fingers protruding from under a trunk lid--these are some of the strange ingredients that went into this compelling & heart-rendering story. Burton Abbott was a tubercular ex-GI student at the University of California in Berkeley, California, when 14-year-old Stephanie Bryan disappeared on her way home from school on April 28, 1995. Some of her possessions turned up in the basement of his home, & her body was found near a family cabin Abbott visited the day she disappeared. But, was he accused unjustly? Was it all a horrible travesty of justice? How could Stephanie have been kidnaped by him, since he was 175 miles away when she disappeared? The Burton Abbott story was a famous, controversial one, which brought banner headlines week after week, month after month, in California newspapers. This book spells out the entire account.
