Summary of Michael Fleeman's The Stranger In My Bed

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 On April 22, 1980, Sam Kennedy, a road worker in Newton County, Indiana, was repairing winter damage to a section of County Road 400 North, known locally as Hopkins Park Road. As he stood on the road, he saw a wooden box lying in the weeds up a drainage ditch. He and his partner pried open the box, and inside they found a soiled blanket or quilt and a tangle of clothes made of denim and plaid cloth. #2 The remains of the woman were found in a box on Hopkins Park Road. She had been missing her legs below the shins. The bones appeared to be those of a small-framed male or a female. #3 The Lady in the Box was eventually identified as a young woman between the ages of 20 and 40, with brown hair. She had been murdered. The bones had been chopped off with a power saw. The investigation stalled, and authorities decided to give her a proper burial. #4 The Lady in the Box was a local legend. Teenagers would go to Hopkins Park Road to check out the very spot where she was found by Sam Kennedy that pleasant spring afternoon. Those who weren’t morbidly fascinated by her grew to feel compassion for her, and a sense of protectiveness.
