LOSS OF INNOCENCE A True Story of Juvenile Murder

Paperback. When kids kill kids - a shocking account of double murder in Colorado. On a warm Monday afternoon in April 1983, the police in Bayfield, Colorado, charged a white male suspect with the senseless murders of 8yr old Sherry Janson and her older sister Kristy. The victims had been stabbed repeatedly, their throats slashed. The suspect was their neighbour - a boy from a good home in a quiet, church-going community. Billy Keenan was 13yrs old. This is the riveting story of an unthinkable crime - and a shocking expose of an inadequate legal system that sends adolescent murderers back to the streets.
