Overview
The murder that still haunts a Pennsylvania city
On the morning of August 8, 1975, sixteen-year-old Debbie Gama disappeared after leaving her home in Erie only to be found dead days later in a creek nearly thirty miles from her home. What followed was an investigation that lacked suspects or evidence pointing to a viable suspect. That is until a private investigator named Dan Barber uncovered evidence leading directly to her killer: her English teacher, Raymond Payne. After Payne's arrest, Debbie's mother, Betty Ferguson, embarked upon her own quest for justice, which unexpectedly led her on an incredible journey of forgiveness.
Utilizing newspaper articles, court documents and investigative files never before revealed, Justin Dombrowski presents a gripping narrative of one investigator’s pursuit of justice and a mother’s search for the truth.
