Lost Boys of Hannibal

Inside America's Largest Cave Search

by John Wingate

Description

Second book in the series (All rights available):

Souls Speak: Missing Children Reveal Their Serial Killer From Beyond

Vanished Without a Trace!

In 1967, the largest cave search in US history unfolded in historic Hannibal, Missouri, the boyhood home of author Mark Twain. Three modern day Tom Sawyers, with no caving expertise but an abundance of bravado, made Hannibal ground zero for a terrifying calamity that would leave its traumatic mark for half a century. Joel Hoag, his brother Billy, and their friend Craig Dowell vanished after exploring a vast and complex maze cave system that had been exposed by highway construction. More than fifty years later, their fate remains the ultimate unsolved mystery.
