Our Georgia

Georgia Williams murder at the hands of college pal Jamie Reynolds was a crime that shocked the nation: chillingly executed and horrific in its sexual depravity. But when Georgias devastated mother, Lynnette, and father, Steve, questioned the events leading to their daughters death, they discovered it was also entirely preventable. At the time of Georgias disappearance, Steve was ironically a highly-commended murder squad detective serving with West Mercia Police. The same force, Steve and Lynnette discovered, had had Reynolds in its sights for years before Georgias murder, but let him slip their net. Drawing on Steves inside police knowledge, the couple exposed the litany of failures that let Reynolds infiltrate their daughters life, and allowed him to kill. Now, in her powerful and moving memoir, Lynnette tries to get beyond the platitudes of mistakes made and lessons learned to effect real change, and also details the heartbreaking aftermath of a crime that should never have happened.
