Nightmare Year
In 1967 Dick Kitchel disappeared after a party. Days later his battered body was found floating in the Willamette river by two young boys. 50 years later the case is still open and justice has never been served. New York Times best selling author Rebecca Morris joins Murder in the Rain to talk about her book A Murder in My Hometown the story of the murder of her classmate Dick Kitchel, the impact it had on her life, the lives of her classmates, and a small Oregon town.
