In OBSESSED Follow A Survivor's Five-Year Quest for Justice and Truth
Lost Boys, Dark Secrets: The Riveting True Crime Story of a Five-Year Investigation
In the tranquil towns of New England during the 1970s, a sinister mystery unfolded when several boys vanished without a trace and the community's peace was shattered. With law enforcement stymied in its search for answers, whispers of a possible serial killer surfaced, especially after one boy's body was found years after his disappearance. But what happened to the others remained a heart-wrenching puzzle.
In 2013, author David McGrath, a former host on the Law Enforcement Today Network and an investigator with a relentless drive for justice, watched a documentary about the cold case investigation regarding the missing boys. Himself a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and active in his local community with a sex abuse therapy group, McGrath was struck by the number of unanswered questions in the documentary.
What followed, beginning in January 2014, was a five-year quest to find the answers to this child abduction and murder mystery. Traveling all over the United States, he uncovered a labyrinth of dark secrets just beneath the surface and unknown to most residents of the bucolic communities from which the boys disappeared. Haunted by his own past, he had to navigate these dark waters if he wanted to bring truth and justice to the victims and their families.
OBSESSED: A Survivor's Quest To Find The Lost Boys of New England is McGrath's riveting true crime memoir. A poignant, horrifying, incredible story of suspense, courage, and the unyielding quest for truth.*
