About this ebook
A loving mother. A teenage killer. “Plenty of lurid details and twists and turns . . . A story about the consequences of an overwhelmed justice system” (West End Word).
On a crisp December day in 1963, Nancy Zanone left her young son and daughter playing in the backyard while she went inside to check the laundry. She never came back. A troubled teen prowling for unlocked doors along Chippewa in South St. Louis surprised her in the kitchen and stabbed her to death. Despite Joseph Arbeiter’s confession and hard evidence, he was freed on a technicality. In response, Zanone’s family fought to change how juvenile murderers are tried in the state of Missouri. Local authors Vicki Berger Erwin and Bryan Erwin investigate the senseless tragedy and the family’s quest for justice.

COULD NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN! FINISHED IT IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS!!!!! Extremely well written and very informative! if you are from St Louis you'll definitely recognize street names and landmarks. this book goes into just enough detail to where it's not too much but so much more than what is out there. it tastefully answers a lot of questions true crime buffs may have had about this crime. weather you remember this from childhood or you've never heard of it other than your parents or grandparents chit-chatting about it in passing, it gives just enough backstory to all the people involved and the roles that they play and the locations that events took place that true crime buffs along with the readers that are brand new to the genre will finish this book feeling as if they have all the information they need and truly understand the people involved the victims the perpetrators and south St Louis.
