Cold a Long Time

Más información sobre el libro

In August 1989, Duncan MacPherson, a pro hockey player from Saskatoon, Canada, disappeared in Europe. With no assistance from the police, his parents, Lynda and Bob, searched the Alps and eventually located his car at the Stubai Glacier near Innsbruck, Austria. This discovery marked the beginning of their two-decade quest to uncover the truth behind their son's disappearance after snowboarding on a beginner slope. The local police suggested he might have wandered off and perished, but other signs hinted at a more sinister fate. Throughout their search, the MacPhersons met an array of intriguing characters, including a 5,000-year-old ice mummy, an amnesiac initially mistaken for Duncan, a psychic with a startling vision, a charismatic ski resort developer, and a seemingly friendly forensic doctor. In 2009, they enlisted author John Leake to assist in their ongoing investigation. After two years of research, he uncovered shocking truths about Duncan's fate. This narrative details the MacPherson family's harrowing journey, characterized by love, perseverance, and an unyielding quest for the truth, despite a cover-up involving the ski resort, local police, and officials in Innsbruck. Leake's revelations inspired the documentary "A Cold Case," produced by Canada's fifth estate.
