Entering the spring of 1986, Margo McKee’s story could’ve been ripped from a Hallmark movie. Despite losing her mother and father to cancer when she was 12, she’d blossomed into a straight-A student who attended church and volunteered around town. Her foster parents, Ross and Wyona Sterling, were satisfied they’d delivered on the promise they made to Margo’s dying parents five years earlier ..that they would raise the brown-eyed girl as their own. But by summer’s end, Margo would be dead ..her beaten and battered body buried in a shallow grave beneath a foot of sand, driftwood and dirt. Gone, too, was the baby inside her womb. How does such a promising young life take such a dramatic and dark turn?
