Dennis Craig Jurgens was born on December 06, 1961 in Minnesota. His biological mother, Jerry Sherwood, placed him for adoption. He was adopted by Harold and Lois Jurgens, a Minnesota couple. The couple had previously adopted one other child, Robert, and adopted four other children after Dennis. Lois was an abusive parent, which was observed by her own family members. Dennis died on April 11, 1965, and the investigation into his death went a whole bunch of nowhere. I strongly believe that had a lot to do with the fact that her brother was a police officer. Years later, the biological mother wanted to find out information about her son, as he would be of legal age. She found out about his death and was determined to see justice done for what she knew was murder. This book details the abuse that was dished out by Lois, the failure of the justice system and the adoption services, and the inquiry into the death of Dennis. This book contained a lot of details that are a bit graphic, so if child abuse isn't something you care to read about, skip this book.
