A sadistic murder of a Mexican American teenager in 1953 and the demented slaughter of a Mexican American family in 1968 have remained unsolved for decades. Both vicious slayings were linked by geography, prejudice, and perversity. Both atrocities were committed at the intersection of race, class, and entitlement. The community and key law enforcement personnel avoided accountability and looked the other way. As a result, the victims' memories and the identities of the depraved perpetrators were confined to whispers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA reckoning is long overdue, and \u003cstrong\u003eaward-winning author E.R.
