Northwest Iowa — A best-selling true crime book about a 1973 quadruple murder and the abduction and sexual assault of a 13-year-old girl that took place in Lyon County, will be the feature of an episode of a nationally broadcast TV show this Saturday evening.
The true-crime book, Gitchie Girl, which was written about the 1973 murders and abduction at Gitchie Manitou State Park in Lyon County, was released in 2016 and was a number one national best-seller, was penned by Phil Hamman and his wife Sandy, who now live in Sioux City. The documentary show Killer Siblings will air an episode based on Gitchie Girl this Saturday on the Oxygen Channel. Phil Hamman tells us more.
