The Third Rainbow Girl: The Long Life of a Double Murder in Appalachia
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Description
A stunningly written investigation of the murder of two young women—showing how a violent crime casts a shadow over an entire community. In the early evening of June 25, 1980 in Pocahontas County, West Virginia, two middle-class outsiders named Vicki Durian, 26, and Nancy Santomero, 19, were murdered in an isolated clearing. They were hitchhiking to a festival known as the Rainbow Gathering but never arrived; they traveled with a third woman however, who lived. For thirteen years, no one was prosecuted for the "Rainbow Murders," though deep suspicion was cast on a succession of local residents in the community, depicted as poor, dangerous, and backward. In 1993, a local farmer was convicted, only to be released when a known serial killer and diagnosed schizophrenic named Joseph Paul Franklin claimed responsibility. With the passage of time, as the truth seemed to slip away, the investigation itself caused its own traumas—turning neighbor against neighbor and confirming a fear of the violence outsiders have done to this region for centuries. Emma Copley Eisenberg spent years living in Pocahontas and re-investigating these brutal acts. Using the past and the present, she shows how this mysterious act of violence has loomed over all those affected for generations, shaping their fears, fates, and the stories they tell about themselves. In The Third Rainbow Girl, Eisenberg follows the threads of this crime through the complex history of Appalachia, forming a searing and wide-ranging portrait of America—its divisions of gender and class, and of its violence.

- content: Emma Copley Eisenberg narrates her debut work, which blurs the lines between true crime and memoir. Her straightforward tone lends order to the convoluted mystery surrounding two women who were murdered on their way to a 1980 Rainbow Gathering in Pocahontas County, West Virginia. The official investigation has gone hot and cold through the years, turning up a disconcerting number of witnesses and perpetrators with varying degrees of credibility. When Eisenberg turns to her experiences living in Pocahontas and the friendships she forged with the men there, the fondness in her voice is tempered by darker tones in a way that another narrator mostly likely wouldn't effect. Hearing her perspective firsthand is vital as she weaves the parts into a commentary on a violent collision of gender and class. S.T.C. � AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
