And I Cried, Too

Mike Hartnett shares his personal story of living in Lincoln, Illinois, during a troubling period marked by burglaries, a missing student, and murders that shook the community. Reflecting on over 40 years of memories, he explores the lingering guilt and unanswered questions surrounding these events without framing it as a true crime exposé. As a retired teacher and experienced writer, Hartnett offers a thoughtful and introspective account of a small town grappling with its darkest moments.
