Jennifer Ertman and Elizabeth Pena were raped and murdered during a gang initiation while they were walking home from a pool party late at night. The bodies were discovered four days later, and due to the weather, the rate of decomposition only allowed for dental identification of the girls. The families of the girl advocated for the right of victims families to view executions. The girls have a memorial dedicated to them in a park with the view of the railroad tracks where they were found in the background.

This case was featured on Dateline, for anyone interest in the Dateline reading list. The book outlined in greater detail the facts of the case. It was a fairly quick read.
