Investigators began scouring the area, yet despite an extensive search, no signs of the missing people were discovered. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOn the fourth day of the search, evidence trickled in about neighborhood \"weirdo\" Matthew Hoffman. A police SWAT team raided his home and found an extremely disturbing sight: every square inch of the place was filled with leaves and a terrified Sarah Maynard was bound up in the middle of it like some sort of perverted autumn tableau. But there was no trace of the others. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThen came Hoffman's confession to an unspeakable crime that went beyond murder and defied all reason. His tale of evil would make Sarah's survival and rescue all the more astonishing--a compelling tribute to a young girl's resilience and courage and to her fierce determination to reclaim her life in the wake of unimaginable trauma.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Scott, Sarah Maynard, Larry Maynard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Mass Market Paperbound\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berkley Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/31\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Berkley True Crime\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.4lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.50h x 4.20w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780425258828","brand":"Ripon Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Mass Market Paperbound","offer_id":44147054510125,"sku":"9780425258828","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/0501\/1245\/files\/img_3913d65f-9b28-40c9-a4dc-e77b78560789.jpg?v=1757181550","url":"https:\/\/riponbookstore.com\/products\/the-girl-in-the-leaves-9780425258828","provider":"Ripon Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
