the following episode is not suitable

for those under the age of 13.

viewer discretion and parental guidance

is advised

before we delve into this episode i'd

like to thank dungeons and dragons for

sponsoring this

video not so long ago dungeons and

dragons reached out

and asked whether i'd be interested in

taking part in a dnd

game with a few other creators for their

channel

and let me tell you i jumped at the

opportunity

i absolutely love immersing myself in

the storytelling and creativity within

dnd campaigns

and honestly the campaign we did was so

much fun

and full of twists and turns now if you

don't know what d

d is it's a role-playing game that you

can play with your friends in person or

over the internet using video or voice

chats

where you embark on a fantasy adventure

as a massive storytelling fan

hindi is in my blood you journey through

a story with your friends

battling enemies questioning characters

going on quests

and so much more the possibilities

within the game

are quite literally just limited by your

imagination

during the campaign that i took part in

with other creators which

by the way we fully recorded so you can

watch over on dnd's youtube channel

one of my absolute favorite moments was

when my character

sherlock and joel's character theodoma

were bickering with one another at the

city library it was just so

funny and it literally had me screaming

i'm

without giving too much away i

absolutely loved the ending of the

campaign too

the story arc and character development

throughout was just so natural and so

beautiful

i just couldn't recommend watching the

campaign more if you're interested in d

d

here's a short sneak preview we have

quite an adventure for you today

i've never seen anything like this both

of you are such

excellent hunters oh it's a one

i want to find out more am i dead right

now

in d you play as a character mine being

called

sherlock because i was a detective who

was also

an orc you like my pun and before you

start on a campaign

you use dice to roll different

attributes for your character which are

used throughout the campaign

you also get to choose your race in

class and you can customize your

abilities

skills spells weapons and so much more

the character sheet is super important

and useful when

playing d d and is one of the core

aspects to the game

i know it may seem a bit complex at

first glance though it is truly simple

to understand and use

you can see from the character sheet for

my character sherlock hawthorne

that sherlock is a rogue half-orc with

an investigator background

you use dice rolls to determine

attributes such as your strength

dexterity

and intelligence sherlock's hp is kept

track of throughout the campaign here

and i can easily see what armor weapons

and tools are at my disposal

from a quick glance and the game is

forever expanding with new content

if you've never played before you can

grab a beginner's kits

like the d d starter sets or if you just

want to launch

straight into a campaign you can grab

one of the many pre-written campaign

books

it's such an accessible game more so now

than ever before

you can find the character sheet for my

character sherlock in the description

down below

and you're more than welcome to use my

character in your own dnd games be sure

to send me a dm on instagram or tag me

on twitter if you do use sherlock

watch the d d

campaign that i played with other

creators over on the dnd

youtube channel i've also linked this

down below for you

now back to the case

sandra chesky was born in 1960 to her

mother

dolores and cameron she was the youngest

of four children born to the couple with

five children being born in quick

succession

though sadly the couple lost their

second baby boy

shortly after birth and unfortunately

the marriage between dolores and cameron

wasn't one destined to last the couple

experienced great financial difficulties

which led to numerous arguments between

them

causing cameron to leave dolores with

three boys and one girl

all of her children due to them being so

young constantly wanted attention from

their mother

and as dolores had become a single

mother she had to work long

hours to keep herself afloat on top of

the long working

hours dolores also decided to go back to

school

and train to become a nurse in the hopes

it would provide a

financially more secure future though

this meant that she had

little to no time for looking after her

children and so

dolores parents offered to look after

the kids until she had gone through at

nursing school

and when sandra was just 18 months old

she and her brothers

moved to live in the care of her

grandparents

the children would ultimately end up

staying with their grandparents

for three and a half years until sandra

would turn four years old

and life growing up on their

grandparents farm wasn't easy

especially as their grandparents were

aging and didn't have the same energy

and mobility as they once had it was at

her grandparents farm that sandra would

develop a deep love

for animals and sandra would leave her

grandparents farm

with memories of love and happiness

memories she would reflect on and

memories that would bring her strength

in the years to come by the time that

sandra had started

school her mother had met a new man and

as sandra's school career progressed

living under the same roof as her

brother's mother and stepdad

things became tense her brother on one

occasion

shouted at their stepdad saying that he

hated him and that he wasn't their dad

this fighting became the norm for

sandra's family

and it deeply upsetted sandra this all

came to a head when sandra returned home

from school one day

to the news that she and her brother

bill were being sent to live with

different foster families

sandra barely caused any issues at home

and such a drastic

upheaval of her life caused a lot of

pain and confusion she would later find

out from a relative that this was due to

a

alleged drinking problem that was going

on at home but sandra knew that she

hadn't been underage drinking and she

hadn't had any problems with her stepdad

sandra presumes that the step-dad simply

didn't know how to handle kids

and so sent her and her brother away

whatever the case

sandra was rushed into the home of her

foster family

but the foster families she had been

placed with

weren't good people sandra broke down on

the phone to her mother one night and

told of how her foster parents would

beat their

own child with a wire coat hanger as a

result of this

sandra was removed from the foster

family's care and was taken to a second

foster family and tragically this second

foster family

were cold and uncaring towards her they

never

acknowledged that she was there sandra

felt like an

unpaid maid rather than a foster child

fortunately

after begging her mother to let her come

home sandra left the care of her second

foster family and returns to the family

home

though the child hating stepdad still

lives there

sandra's brother bill also returned back

to the family home

and he'd actually had a good experience

being fostered with a police officer's

family

sir stop wreaking havoc on the set i

apologize if you can

hear any noise in the background of this

video my cat is in the filming room at

the moment

and he has decided to wreak havoc

their stepdad was not pleased in the

slightest and as sandra and bill were of

native american descent

he sent them off to a native american

boarding school

the shabby boarding school was located

in south dakota

sandra and bill both had pretty bad

experiences at this school

with a stern nun on one occasion telling

sanjo that she'd never return

home but when the school term ended

sandra and bill return to the family

home for the summer over that summer

sandra managed to convince her mother to

not send her and bill back to the

boarding school

and it appeared that the fighting within

the house had completely calmed down it

was as if a new leaf had been turned

out of nowhere sandra's mother informed

her kids that they were moving to a tiny

town in south dakota

a town called t the children were now

all in their teens but from sandra who

was to turn

13 within a few months and yet another

upheaval of their lives

losing friends and changing schools left

the children feeling crushed and

devastated by the summer of 1973

the family had settled into a large

farmhouse just outside the town of tea

at south dakota it was a short half-mile

walk into town

a walk that the children took numerous

times that summer to find something to

do

sandra soon made friends within the

small town and eventually she went with

another girl to the drive-in theater the

girls didn't stay

in the car they cut out to go socialize

with other teens from the town

it was then that sandra first laid her

eyes on a boy who she fell in love with

roger essen roger was a friend of the

girl sandra had come to the

drive-through with

and he began talking to sandra as if

they'd known each other for years

alongside roger was another boy called

stuart bade

roger's best friend sandra exchanged

phone numbers with the boys

and parted ways when roger phoned sandra

for the first time

they spoke on the phone for an hour

before roger decided to ask sandra out

on a date

over the course of the late summer roger

and sandra went on many dates

and began a relationship together roger

who was actually 17 years old

didn't know that sandra was just 13.

sandra looked a lot older than she was

and she didn't want to ruin their

relationship with the truth

so she kept her age to herself roger

attended the washington high

school in sixth fulls south dakota

another one of roger's friends

mike hadreth also attended the high

school

and actually lived just half a block

away from rogers so naturally the two

spent a lot of time together

mike was a popular sophomore with a huge

talent for athletics and

sports he was in practically every

school sports team

and was very successful in his sporting

career on friday the 16th of november

1973

roger and mike crossed paths in the

hallways at school

and decided to make plans for the

weekends they decided to invite a few

friends to go with them

to hike out to gichi manitou state

preserve whether just

hang out build a fire and listen to some

music roger's friend

stuart bade who had been with roger when

he'd first met

sandra had a driver's license and a van

that he could use to drive everyone to

the state to preserve the group that

they settled on included roger

mike stewart and stu's 14 year old

brother

donna and sandra in the morning of the

17th of november 1973

mike kissed his mum goodbye and waited

for stu and his brother donna to pick

him up mike's mum watched as mike left

the house to walk to the van

unknowingly forming her last memory of

mike

alive at about 2 p.m on that saturday

roger phoned up sandra and invited her

on the trip to gucci manitou

and sandra said she'd love to go roger

told her that they would be coming to

pick her up

in stu's van and as sandra's mother

works late hours she had a lot of

flexibility with what she could do

and so she raced to get herself ready

but by the time 8pm had rolled around

and stu still hadn't picked her up

sandra started to worry she began to

overthink everything

did roger hate her had she said

something wrong she cried on the sofa

going over her conversation on the phone

over and over again

analyzing it though just as it seems she

had been ditched

sandra received a phone call from stu

who explains that they'd made a few

stops to collect some supplies and that

there'd be about half an hour

sandra's worries melted away she told

stu that her brother bill had just

gotten

home and asked whether he could come

along with him on the trip

and stu said sure and so 30 minutes

later

stu's van pulled into the drive and

sandra and bill left the family home to

get into the van

though just as bill was climbing in one

of bill's friends also pulled into the

driveway

and told him that he was going to a

party and that a hot girl that bill had

a massive crush on was going to be there

bill looked at sandra with an expression

of

do you mind if i go to this party

instead and sandra laughed at bill and

told him to go get the girl before

closing the van door and

setting off on the journey to get

humanity roger and sandra held hands as

stu's van

raced down the roads to get humanity

until the van came to an abrupt

stop sandra glanced out the window of

the van

and realized that they weren't in gucci

manitou at all but were actually backing

the town

stu had forgotten his guitar which he

ran to grab from his house

before finally the group set off in the

van for

the state's preserve the sun had already

dipped below the horizon when they had

arrived

with darkness enveloping the state

preserve wind

and wildlife rustled in the bushes as

the teenagers climbed out of the van

into the nature that surrounded them

sandra asked the groove if there was

anyone else in the area and after a

quick scan around

she replied by saying that there doesn't

seem to be

steve's 14 year old brother grabs some

paper from the van to use as a fire

starter as roger tried to locate the

best place to have a campfire

though the group stumbled upon a

recently extinguished campfire

and decided to walk further down near

the bank of a river so that they

wouldn't be

disturbed the november cold began to set

in and the need for

the warmth of a fire became pressing the

grape grabbed dead

wood from the surrounding trees and

promptly lit a small campfire

they sat around the heats that radiated

from the fire with sandra leaning

against roger

her romantic fantasies coming true dana

stew's 14 year old brother

got up to stoke the fire but suddenly

stopped

a noise in the distance caught his

attention down his eyes

darting to the tree lines scanning for

the source of the noise

he asked the others whether they had

heard that sound

donna was a popular eighth grader at a

junior high school in six falls

and he idolized his older brother stu

stu works hard in trying to become

america's next

biggest band and donna wanted to follow

in stu's footsteps stu was constantly

teaching

donna new guitar chords and he gave dan

a ride in his van whenever he wanted it

the relationship between the two

brothers was strong

and unbreakable they were very very

close it was about 9

50 p.m on the 17th of november 1973 when

donna had heard

the strange noise coming from the tree

lines and he hadn't been the only one in

the group to hear

it roger focused immediately on the tree

line and in hushed whispers he told stu

to stop playing the guitar and for

everyone to be quiet for a minute

sandra heard what sounded like a twig

snap nearby

and when she looked at roger she knew

that he'd heard it too

was it just an animal in the woods was

it a human

sandra's mind began racing the group

felt silence

everyone listening to the sounds of the

nature that surrounded them

another twig snapped then another there

was definitely

something out there whatever it was was

getting closer

the group rose to their feet could it be

a bear the crackling of the fire filled

the silence as they continued to listen

with fear slowly consuming them after a

few more moments

stew decided to break the tension by

playing a few chords on his guitar

and the group's fear slowly dissipated

as they began to sing along to stu's

guitar playing the boys began to roll a

cigarette

and passed it around the group hoping

the nicotine would help to take the edge

off stu noticed that the campfire was

beginning to die down

and asked his brother donna to go with

him to grab some more dead wood from the

forest that surrounded them

and after a while sandra began to

realize that stew and donna

hadn't returned from beyond the tree

line her worried train of thought was

abruptly interrupted by yet

another strange sound causing her to

gasp in shock

she turned to roger and mike and saw by

the expression on their faces that

they'd heard it too

was it just stu and donna mike called

out for stu and donna and they shouted

back

but from the opposite direction from

where the strange noises were coming

from

more twigs snapped the sound getting

closer and closer

and all of a sudden stu and donna burst

from the dark tree line

with empty hands the group could all

sense something was wrong

but they could not have possibly

realized the gravity of the danger

they were in two men running through the

shadows caught sandra and roger's eyes

there was someone out there watching

roger called out to them

maybe the place they had been in had

been there for my campsite

maybe they just wanted to come back to

the campsite and found

them this group of teenagers there maybe

they had set up camp in the wrong spots

their minds were racing but the mystery

men

they gave no reply to rogers calls and

the sound of twigs snapping

stopped maybe they'd left the fire

dwindled as the group once again

stood in fear noticing this the group of

five decided that they really needed to

find more dead wood to keep the fire

going so

they could continue that evening and so

roger and sandra walked off towards the

tree line

though as they left the safety of the

campfire's lights

sandra and roger saw movement from

within the darkness of the trees

roger yells into the cold air that

rushed between the trees and the forest

who are you what do you want and once

again

roger's calls were met with silence and

then the sound of crumpling leaves

and suddenly two men emerged from the

forest and ran

to a large rock some 20 feet from roger

and sandra

followed closely by another dark figure

sandra was able to get a better look at

the figures

and her stomach dropped with fear when

she realized what they were carrying

guns two shots suddenly rang out across

the campsite

echoing through the surrounding forest

and the group scattered

mike dragged sandra to a sheer drop a

drop that was just off

at the river's edge and told it to

shield herself behind a tree there

the fear of death froze sandra she

wasn't sure where roger went

she only knew that mike was the only

thing between her and these mysterious

attackers

everything had happened so quickly one

minute she was standing with roger

then there was a gunshot another gunshot

and mike had dragged her behind this

tree it all happened so quickly she

hadn't had time to process it sandra

appeared into the campsites

tears streaming down her face and she

saw roger flinch

as another gunshot wrung out across the

campsite

she saw roger collapse to the ground

like a bag of sand

falling to the floor and sandra knew

instantly that roger

had been hit another shot was fired

hitting stew

directly stew fell to the floor in

agonizing pain

his brother donna called out to him

trying to comfort his older sibling

stu's moans of pain filled the cold

november air

the only sounds that sandra could hear

it was as if the entire forest had

fallen silent

holding his breath with just as much

fear as that which filled

sandra sandra pressed herself tightly to

the tree

imagining herself as becoming one with

the tree and began praying that the men

would go

away for it to stop for the nightmare to

end the three men

turned their attention to the tree that

sandra was hiding behind with mike

and focus their guns on the pair and in

silence

silence that seemed to go on for years

with each heartbeat

feeling like an eternity passing it was

about 11 pm when the silence was broken

by a voice calling out

quite we're with the police come out

with your hands up but nobody dared to

move

the only sounds coming from stu are

moaning in pain

the voice is called out again quote

we're with the police

come out with your hands up mike

whispered to sandra telling her that

those cops had already shot at them

and telling her not to run sandra and

mike rose their hands and emerged from

behind the tree that they had shielded

themselves with

mike called out to the cops telling them

that there were two of them

pleading for them not to shoot them he

then asked quote

who the hell do you think you are

shooting at us one of the three men

trains their gun on mike seemingly

angered at his question and without

saying a word

he pressed the trigger the force of the

hit threw mike backwards and onto the

ground

and in fear sandra dropped to the ground

too though she hadn't been hit

her instinct telling her to lie down

next to mike as if she'd been injured

the three men then advanced towards the

campsites with one going over to roger

sandra prayed that they'd think that

they were all dead and leave

or if it really were the police they'd

call an ambulance

though sandra had a deep feeling that

these three men were lying

that they weren't with the police at all

after a short while the three men

approached mike and sandra the pair laid

on the ground

as still as possible believing any

movements could result in another

gunshot

one of the men walked up to mike and

kicked him hard in the lower back

causing mike to clutch his injured

shoulder sandra flinched as one of the

men

shouted that she was playing dead before

demanding they both stand up the pain

mike must have been enduring as he rose

to his feet after receiving a gunshot

wound

is impossible to imagine and in spite of

this pain

mike did stand up with sandra by his

side at some point

the men had retrieved donna and brought

him to where mike and sandra were

and he was stood there with his hands up

in the air too are they going to put us

in the back of a police car now

sandra thought but at some deep level

she knew that they weren't going to

quote let's take them this way boss one

of the men said this is a drug raid

don't make any sudden movements do

exactly as you're told

the man who sandra presumed to be the

boss demanded while he trained his gun

on them they ordered donna to stand next

to sandra and mike

and then motioned for them to turn

around the boss then pointed to a small

dirt path that led

deep into the woods and told the three

teenagers to follow

that trail though the actual trail was

in the other direction the three began

walking down the dirt path

guns trained on them from behind until

they came to a ledge that overlooks the

big six river the boss then

quietly spoke with the other men before

telling the three teens to continue on

down the dirt path after a while of

walking mike asked the men whether they

could put their hands down

and the three men agreed mike walked

next to sandra and asked her whether she

could help him walk

she wrapped her arms around his waist to

help support him as the three teens

continued down the dirt path

with the three gun yielding men behind

them eventually

mike fell to his knees and began to lay

down the pain of his injuries

overcoming him mike told sandra that he

couldn't feel

or move his arm and she noticed mike's

uneven gasps for

air the boss shouted at them to get up

and keep walking and so mike rose once

again to his feet

with the help of sandra and dana and the

walk

continued at one point the boss asked

them for their names and they told him

one by one

they continued down the dirt trail until

two beams of light

pierced through the tree line the

headlights of a car

the lights grew brighter and brighter as

the car approached

it was a pickup the pickup came to a

stop

in front of them and another man stepped

out from behind the wheel

mike begged them to let him sit down but

they shouted at him telling him that he

will stand or they would blow his head

off mike then asked if the ambulance was

on the way

the boss said yeah before asking them

for their names ages and identification

only donna had identification on him

which the men grabbed from him

before asking how many girls there were

with them

all of them looked at sandra and her

stomach flipped

one of the men then ordered the three

teens to sit in a tight circle on the

ground

the boss rummaged around within the

pickup truck for a short while

before merging with a roll of thin grey

wire which he said they'd use

instead of handcuffs he explains with a

look of pleasure

that the grey wire would cut the hell

out of their hands

the men first tied up sandra's hands

with the wire cutting into her skin

they ordered sandra to get into the

pickup truck but quickly realized that

the makeshift hand curves were

preventing her from being able to

lift herself up into the vehicle so one

of the men picked her up

and literally threw her in once sandra

was in the truck

one of the men told her that they were

going to try and get her off the hook

and out of there before the sheriff

arrives and when sandra asked him to

remove the wire handcuffs

they agreed it's important to note that

these men were still

posing as police officers throughout

this and

they kind of kept up this fantasy role

play that they were

cops sandra scanned the inside of the

vehicle

and saw nothing to indicate that the men

were working for the police force at

all no badges no normal handcuffs

something wasn't adding up

she then asked the men about roger is he

all right

they told him that he'll be fine and

that he was only hit with a tranquilizer

gun before slamming the door to the

pickup

closed sandra was now separated from

donna and mike

and that glimmer of safety that they had

provided her

had been shattered after a short while

the boss climbed into the driver's seat

of the pickup truck and began to drive

her down the dirt road

away from donna and mike when she

glanced back behind them

she saw donna mike and stu being forced

at gunpoint to walk down the road by the

other men

one of the men had gone back to the

campsite and ordered stu to get to his

feet and walk down to where they were

sandra locked eyes with donna as the

truck left the nature preserve

and then they were gone the men that had

stayed with the teenagers ordered them

to stop

walking and after a while stu's a van

drove up towards them

with one of the men behind the wheel the

men climbed into the van and had a brief

conversation before departing it

shotguns trained on the teens without a

second thought one of the men

aimed at 14 year old dana and fired the

shot tore through his body throwing him

to the ground

before stew could have reacted to the

attack on his younger brother

two more shots rang out both shots hit

stew

throwing him to the ground too mike was

the only one left standing

and the men's attention quickly turned

towards him the star athlete of his

school

a teenager with so much potential would

never compete

again a shot rang out hitting mike

donna stew and mike lane motionless

murders the men climbed into stu's van

and took off

the boss continued to drive sandra

around for a while before stopping for

gas and being joined by the other two

men

eventually they came to a stop at a

farmhouse where they stayed for a few

hours before the boss decided that

sandra was too young to get busted and

took her home

it is important to note um and i'm not

going to go into

heavy detail here that at some point

when sandra was in

the was being kidnapped by these three

men

she was raped when sandra was dropped

off sandra raced into her house and

slammed the door behind her

she raced into her brother bob's bedroom

and woke him up telling him

the entire story bob told her that they

had to call the police because whoever

those men were

weren't cops but sandra was scared that

they now knew where she lived and if

they were real cops

then that could be a death sentence bob

told sandra to sleep on it

and so she went to bed and tried to

sleep when she awoke at 9 a.m

sandra raced to the telephone and began

ringing raj's house but nobody answered

eventually somebody picked up the phone

roger's mother who told sandra that

roger hadn't come home

sandra then spoke to one of roger's

brothers and began to tell him about

what had happened the night before

what sandra didn't know already was that

roger's family had already been told by

the police

that he had been found dead and roger's

brother asked sandra whether he could

come

pick her up roger's brother took sandra

to the police station to speak to a

detective

the police interviewed sandra taking

statements and quickly formed a unit to

investigate what happened

the bodies of stu roger mike and donna

were recovered and taken for autopsies

roger essem who was 17 years old when he

was murdered

has sustained to multiple wounds to the

head face upper chest and arms

he had seven exit winds skull fractures

and damage to his brain

stuart baid who had been 18 years old

when he was murdered

has sustained wounds to the chest

abdomen and right upper leg

he had extensive winds to his left hand

and a large gaping wound in the middle

of his back

mike hadrith had been 15 years old when

he had been murdered

he had sustained wounds to the upper

left chest left upper arm

left side of his face left hand and his

wrist

he had further sustained shots to his

back buttocks and legs

it was determined that some of the

wounds had been sustained as mike lay

face down on the ground dana bade who

had been 14 years old when he was

murdered

has sustained wounds to the right chest

heart and back

the police took cassandra with them on a

stakeout of this

farmhouse that the men had taken sandra

to when

this had all happened sandra had been

sure to remember the route there

and she waited with the police for any

movement and after what seemed like

hours a man emerged from the house

that caused sandra to scream allen fryer

who was 29 years old was arrested on

suspicion of murder

sandra identified him as being the boss

alan fryer initially denied having any

knowledge of the murders

but eventually admitted that he had been

hunting pheasants that day

in the state preserve allen's brothers

david fry and james freya were also

brought into custody in connection to

the case

and eventually all the men began to

point their fingers at one another

now it is important to note that

sandra's accounts are seeing more than

three men

are difficult to establish within the

official timeline it is suggested that

one of the three men left the group to

go get the pickup when the teenagers

were forced to walk down the dirt path

but we don't know eventually the three

brothers implicated one another in the

shooting and murder of the four teenage

boys

they told the authorities that they had

been hunting deer on the night that the

murders took place

when they came across the youths and

their campfire for some unknown reason

they pretended to be narcotics officers

it is likely the cigarette

that the group had shared to ease the

tension

has been what they thought was marijuana

which they then justified

the attack on them their motive for the

murders is confusing and

obscure they acted in a way as to give a

stance that they were narcotic officers

getting rid of marijuana users even

though none of the teenagers had

marijuana at the time

they just decided to kill them i also

must heavily point out

that possession of marijuana and the

usage of marijuana

at the time does not mean you get shot

and murdered does not justify that

you know there is no justification for

murdering somebody

you should be brought in for you know be

arrested brought in for questioning

trial you know the usual justice process

not just a murder

it's such a strange motive and i

personally believe that

they were truly evil and they just

wanted to shoot something other than

deer ultimately david fryer pled guilty

to the charge of murder

but ended up actually being found guilty

of first degree murder which is

something that he tried to appeal but

failed

david fryer was sentenced to life behind

bars on the 27th of february 1974.

james rayfriar on the 11th of december

1974

was found guilty of the manslaughter of

roger essim

and of first degree murder of mike stew

and donna he too

tried to appeal the sentence but failed

he was sentenced to life behind bars

without the possibility of parole

and finally alan fryer was found guilty

for four counts of first-degree murder

on the 11th of august 1974 and he too

tried to appeal his conviction but

failed he was sentenced to life in

prison without the possibility of parole

all three brothers remain behind bars to

this day

now this case has relied heavily on the

first person accounts presented

by sandra in the book gichi girl by phil

hammon and sandy hammon
