The case remained unsolved but Jane was assumed to have been the victim of an infamous serial killer in Michigan in 1969. Then one November afternoon Nelson received a call from her mother who announced that the case had been reopened; a new suspect would be arrested and tried on the basis of a DN a match. Over the months that followed Nelson found herself attending the trial with her mother and reflecting anew on the aura of dread and fear that hung over her family and childhood - - an aura that derived not only from the terrible facts of her aunt's murder but also from her own complicated journey through sisterhood daughterhood and girlhood. The Red Parts is a memoir an account of a trial and a provocative essay that interrogates the American obsession with violence and missing white women and that scrupulously explores the nature of grief justice and empathy.
