Conspiracy of silence

Priest, Lisa 1964- (authot.).

Summary: "Disguised by a veil of racism and conspiracy, the brutal slaying of Helen Betty Osborne wen unsolved for nearly sixteen years. The murder, known as The Pas case after the Manitoba town in which it occurred, shocked the nation and has had reverberations throughout the judicial system. In this taut, chilling narrative, the awful truth behind the notorious, headline-making case and cover-up at last comes to light. Reporter Lis Priest, who covered the story for the Winnipeg Free Press, traces the case from the events of November 13, 1971 through to the conviction of Dwayne Johnston more than a decade later. Her riveting account includes exclusive consversations with the convicted man, the victim's family, and the townspeople who, for so long, refused to talk." -- back cover
