Graphic sexual content.

There were a lot of different people put in to this book that made it hard to follow along all the time. It was mesmorizing however, I couldn't stop thinking about the book even when I wasn't reading it. Not as good as Ann Rule books, but a good true crime story.

I read this book many years ago loved it then. Reread it when I read of Eli Stutzman's suspicous suicide death recently in Florida. A very good read. Be sure you have time to devote to it as there are many charactors involved.

an incredible true store of murder, obsession, and Amish secrets

Good true crime.

This is a true-crime book, given to me by my mother who loves mysteries. I have nothing against true-crime, per say, but haven't been able to get into the book. It's about a little boy found dead and abandoned in Nebraska. His father was Eli Stusman, the son of an Amish bishop, but involved with pornography and other unsavory activities.

Another crazy child molester. They're everywhere, they're everywhere.

A shame when crimes are against innocent children, someone should pay

Could not really get into it but it was still good.

I was really engrossed with the book. I read it 2 days.

The residents of Chester, Nebraska buried him as "Little Boy Blue," unclaimed and unidentified-until a phone call from Ohio 2 years later led authorities to Eli Stutzman, the boy's father. Eli Stutzman, the son of an Amish bishop, was by all appearances a dedicated farmer and family man in the country's strictest religious sect. But behind this quiet facade was a man involved with pornography, sadomasochism, and drugs. After the suspicious death of his pregnant wife, Eli took his preeschool-age son, Danny, and hit the road on a sexual odyssey ending with his conviction for murder. But the mystery of Eli and the fate of his son didn't end on the barren Nebraska's plains. It was just beginning...
