DESCRIPTION:
"Good book, but a very frustrating case!" according to Cat W.. Before purchasing this book, I saw the Good book, but a very frustrating case! Cat W. Before purchasing this book, I saw the 48 Hours episode on the murder of Catherine Woods. There was so much left unanswered from the show that I hoped would be answered in this book.While the authors filled in much, as only a book can do, I didn't feel it answered my question at all as to how such an investigation could have left out such an important factor - the hair clutched in Wood's hand that was not DNA tested.
