Story
On February 29, 2000, John Price took out a restraining order against his girlfriend, Katherine Knight. Later that day, he told his coworkers she had stabbed him and that if he were ever to go missing, it was because Knight had killed him. The next day, Price didn’t show up for work. A coworker was sent to check on him. They found a bloody handprint by the front door, and they immediately contacted the police. The local police force was not prepared for the chilling scene they were about to encounter.

Story
Under the Trestle is the true story of the most compelling murder case in Virginia history. In 1980, Gina Renee Hall, a Radford University freshman, went to a Virginia Tech nightclub on a Saturday night. She was never seen again. Her abandoned car was found parked beneath a railroad trestle bridging the New River, with blood in the trunk. The investigation led police to a secluded cabin on Claytor Lake, where there was evidence of a violent attack. Former Virginia Tech football player Stephen Epperly was charged with murder, despite the fact that Gina's body was never found.

Each of these tales follows men and women who were shocked to learn that the greatest threat to their safety was living alongside them without their knowledge. There is no common time or place - no connecting thread to blame for the victims’ misfortune.

What can drive a young and seemingly innocent child to kill? Murder is horrible enough when perpetrated by adults, and yet the concept takes on a whole new level of chilling morbidity when a murderer is revealed to be a young boy or girl. Is it the result of severe trauma manifesting itself in the most macabre of ways? Is it the progeny of some severe mental disorder? Or were they influenced by the actions of the people they grew up with? Most of the time, the answers to such a question are simple but no less horrific.

Publisher's Summary
One of the most sensational crimes of the 20th century took place when two wealthy young men decided to commit the perfect crime. Travel back in time to learn of how they planned their dastardly deed. From the carefully laid out plans for ransom and the brutal murder of a young boy, these two young men chose path which weaved through the Cook County courtroom with America's most famous attorney who slipped them off the hangman's gallows into prison for life.
With all the details of today's modern documentaries the very words of the killers themselves will spellbind the listener and have all parents noting the whereabouts of their children. Danger lurks at all times, often from those who know your child. This true crime story is as relevant today as it was to the family of young Bobby Franks in 1924 when he was murdered by the depravity of Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold.

2 self entitled geniuses commit a stupid murder!
A true crime story which is hard to believe that two geniuses could have actually thought they could accomplish. These two thought they were entitled and above the laws of the land. They thought they could commit the perfect murder and would not be caught. However, these two were probably some of the stupidest criminals ever. Using actual news, police reports & trial documents, the authors interweave them amongst the narrative to present the story of these young men who rather than committing the perfect murder, ended up doing the craziest one. This is a one sitting type of book because you just have to find out the details of the stupid ongoings.

Shocking historic event
Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold grew up together. Both highly intelligent and both very dangerous.
They set out one day to commit an intentional murder. It is very hard to understand this much evil. Loeb and Leopold made so many plans in order to pull this murder off.
The police and the District Attorney when questioning the two got direct answers as Loeb confessed to his part.
Leopold also just answered questions with no responses that showed any feelings about what they had done at all.
The facts of this case are so stark and chilling. These men did not care what happened to their small kidnapping victim.
Even when being questioned there was no remorse. They believed they were too intelligent to get caught. They believed they had the perfect crime planned out.
Since they were only murderers were only 18 and 19 years old they were treated differently in sentencing. Ken Rossignol and Bruce Caplan did a great job with the research and brought this story to light.
There was a child, a trusting child that was murdered and they never showed any compassion for that little boy.
I am glad I read this book, because I never would have believed it to be true if I had not.
This was an Audible AudioBook and it was well represented. The narrator Stan Jenson was impressive. The characters were clearly different in their speech patterns. He had a clear concise narration voice and the voices were well defined.

Nietzsche and Darwinism's ultimate end.
These murderers were influenced by Godless humanism and it's greatest supporters, Charles Darwin and Nietzsche. Another example of how stupid very intelligent people can sometimes be. If the one true God is not your guide, then the exact opposite will be.

Narrator does voices so badly, you almost...
... think this whole production was a practical joke. Though I don't like it, I can usually live with narrators doing multiple voices. Not with this production. It's nearly impossible to listen to the narrator read dialogue. If he just used his own voice, it probably would've been fine. The story, of course, is morbidly fascinating, but there were scenes that repeated themselves. So, on top of the issues with the audio production, the narrative needed a better editor.
