Murder in the family / by Hunter, Cara,author.(CARDINAL)416551;
"In December 2003, Luke Ryder, the stepfather of acclaimed filmmaker Guy Howard, was found dead in the garden of their suburban family home. Guy was only a child, asleep upstairs at the time of the murder. His mother and two half sisters were also in the house that night -- but all swear they saw nothing. Despite a high-profile police investigation and endless media attention, no suspect was ever charged, and Guy's family has been haunted ever since. Twenty years later, the sensational new streaming series Infamous is dedicated to investigating -- and perhaps cracking -- this famous cold case. The production team will reexamine testimony, reinterview witnesses, and once again scour the evidence. The family will speak. The key players will be reunited -- on camera. The truth will come out. Are you ready to see it?" --

Under the trestle : the 1980 disappearance of Gina Renee Hall & Virginia's first "no body" murder trial / by Peterson, Ron,Jr.,1965-author.(CARDINAL)796724;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 315-318).""Under The Trestle" is the true story of the most compelling murder case in Virginia history. In 1980, beautiful Gina Renee Hall, a Radford University freshman, went to a Virginia Tech nightclub on a Saturday night. She was never seen again. Her abandoned car was found parked beneath a railroad trestle bridging the New River, with blood in the trunk. The investigation led police to a secluded cabin on Claytor Lake, where there was evidence of a violent attack. Former Virginia Tech football player Stephen Epperly was charged with murder, despite the fact that Gina's body was never found. In Virginia's "trial of the century," prosecutor Everett Shockley presented an entirely circumstantial case. Key witnesses against Epperly included his best friend, his mother and a tracking dog handler later believed by many to be a fraud. Three former Virginia Tech football players testified, including a Hokies quarterback once featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Would Epperly become the first person in Virginia history convicted of murder without the victim's body, an eyewitness or a confession? And would authorities ever find the body of Gina Renee Hall?"--cover, page 4.

The miraculous journey : a day made in heaven / by Bodmer, Dlana Hall,author.;
In late June, 1980, eighteen-year-old Gina Renee Hall disappeared. She made one last phone call to her sister the night she disappeared, saying she was looking at a lake, and spoke one last word--Steve. Gina did not come home. The composed story from her killer and his friend led the authorities to theorize that "Steve" had convinced her to leave the place where she had been dancing and go to the lake house to be with him. Those who knew Gina never accepted that story. In the aftermath of her murder, Stephen Epperly's violent past revealed he was not the all-American boy as many believed. Although Gina's body was never found, insurmountable circumstantial evidence met the burden of proof met the burden of proof that she was brutally murdered by Epperly. He was sentenced to life in prison. But for Gina's sister Dlana, closure could not happen until the truth was known. After years of dealing with her grief over her lost sister and her hatred for her sister's killer, in 2016 Dlana suddenly began receiving spiritual messages she did not understand and could scarcely believe. Little did she suspect then that she was being led on a miraculous journey, not only to search for the location of her sister's body, but to bring her peace, healing and a new understanding of God and his plan for us all.
