Her family's desperate search, and the police investigation that followed, would stretch on for decades. Louise was never seen alive again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSix years later, in 1989, another child - nine-year-old Michael Black - vanished under chillingly similar circumstances. His body has never been found. This time, the trail led to a man few could have imagined: a trusted father, a respected schoolteacher, and a predator who had lived undetected among his neighbours for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book traces the parallel stories of Louise and Michael, the anguish of their families, and the relentless work of investigators who refused to give up. It reveals how advances in forensic science finally unmasked the killer - and confronts the disturbing possibility that he may have been responsible for other unsolved child abductions that still cast a shadow over South Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTold with compassion and an unwavering respect for the victims, \u003cem\u003eFather, Teacher, Child Killer\u003c\/em\u003e is not only a chronicle of crime, but a story of resilience, courage, and the long shadows of loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA chilling reminder that true evil can hide behind respectability, and even stand at the front of a classroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Madigan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1764260201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781764260206\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Madigan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Michael Madigan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47580146139391,"sku":"9781764260206","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b1b51dad-6b0f-4f1d-9bf6-241eaea6d1f0.jpg?v=1763879108","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/father-teacher-child-killer-michael-madigan-9781764260206","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
