The gripping story of a young woman's murder, unsolved for over two decades, brilliantly investigated and reconstructed by her stepsister. Growing up, Rachel Rear knew the story of Stephanie Kupchynsky's disappearance. The beautiful violinist and teacher had fled an abusive relationship on Martha's Vineyard and made a new start for herself near Rochester, NY. She was at the height of her life-in a relationship with a man she hoped to marry and close to her students and her family. And then, one morning, she was gone. Around Rochester-a region which has spawned such serial killers as Arthur Shawcross and the "Double Initial" killer-Stephanie's disappearance was just a familiar sort of news item. But Rachel had more reason than most to be haunted by this particular story of a missing woman: Rachel's mother had married Stephanie's father after the crime, and Rachel grew up in the shadow of her stepsister's legacy. In Catch the Sparrow , Rachel Rear writes a compulsively readable and unerringly poignant reconstruction of the case's dark and serpentine path across more than two decades. Obsessively cataloging the crime and its costs, drawing intimately closer to the details than any journalist could, she reveals how a dysfunctional justice system laid the groundwork for Stephanie's murder and stymied the investigation for more than twenty years, and what those hard years meant for the lives of Stephanie's family and loved ones. Startling, unputdownable, and deeply moving, Catch the Sparrow is a retelling of a crime like no other.

Van watskeburt tot whodunit gaat over het reconstrueren van scenario's. Scenariodenken is een breedgedragen begrip in de opsporing. Maar wat er daadwerkelijk mee bedoeld wordt of hoe je dit inhoudelijk vorm kunt geven; daarover verschillen de inzichten. In dit boek worden wetenschappelijke theorien over verhaal en verankering gecombineerd met inzichten uit het strafrecht en de opsporingspraktijk. Dit vertaalt zich naar praktische denkkaders, hulpmiddelen en tips. Deze worden niet alleen uitgelegd, maar ook direct toegepast op een onderzoek uit de praktijk. Door de toegankelijke schrijfstijl en de relevantie van dit onderwerp spreekt de auteur een breed publiek aan. Opsporingspraktijk, strafrecht, wetenschap, onderwijs: eenieder met interesse voor deze vakgebieden zal zich kunnen vinden in dit boek. De lezer kan direct zelf aan de slag met scenarioreconstructie.
