November 2021 – Diane Kelly Runyon and Kim Shoemaker Starr to Present “Buried Secrets”
“Buried Secrets”
Kim Shoemaker Starr and Diane Kelly Runyon collaborated on a book which has taken them places they never imagined: Louisville to accept an Emmy for a video about their findings, construction sites to view remains of bodies, and exit doors shown to them when they tried to do presentations about their book in Upper Arlington. We are thrilled to welcome both of them: the investigator and the author of Secrets Under the Parking Lot – The Pleasant Litchford Story. Their book will be available, credit card payment only.
