Autorenporträt
Leslie LeDonne is a first-time author of the new non-fiction book "KILLING HENRIETTA". Leslie was born in Pottsville, Pennsylvania in 1957, and raised in southern Maryland, where she still resides today with her husband, Jeff, their two sons and their families. She considers her faith and family to be the most important to her. First hearing of this local, true and still unsolved horrific murder and rape of Henrietta Ragan fifty years ago while Leslie was in beauty school piqued her interest. This homicide happened in Leonardtown, Maryland in 1959, just two blocks away from her beauty school. She wondered how something this horrendous could have been executed in such a tiny closet community and never have been solved. She spent many years doing her own research, interviews, and boots-on-the ground inquiries. While searching on her own, she has uncovered some new evidence that would change the way this case is examined, maybe not by the police any longer, but certainly by the readers themselves. It was Henrietta's inability to enjoy life's treasures that Leslie has been blessed with that propelled her search forward. Henrietta's faith, family, close friendships and her life itself had been robbed from her. This injustice fueled Leslie's search for facts, truth, and evidence. Being a very head strong and determined woman gave her the fortitude necessary in trying to figure out who the man was that was responsible for killing Henrietta.
