The Innocent Project - Paperback

by David Wiyrick (Author)

John Adams was a single 30 year old man and well respected in the small town of Wheatland in Central Washington. His handsome features made him a magnet for the women in the community, but it all ended when one cold December morning he was shot and killed in his front yard.

Marianne Shutt was a current girlfriend of John Adams and told the investigators the only person she could think of that might have committed the murder was her ex-boyfriend Dustin Silver.

The wheels of the police investigation began turning to gather evidence that would support their suspicion that Dustin Silver was the perpetrator.

An early arrest was made on Dustin Silver and he was charged with First Degree Murder and the police reported to the local news media that Silver had the means, opportunity and motive to commit the crime.

In comes experienced Seattle Attorneys Jackie Skelton, Mark Scalia and Colin Thurgood to defend Dustin Silver.

Private Investigators David Anson and Monty Victor joined the Defense Team.

The Private Investigators soon developed information that two local well known criminals, Ryan Bates and Juan Garcia were the actual killers. Their crime spree continued after the death of John Adams and exploded into violence that killed gang members and drained local law enforcement resources to control the spiraling violence.

Detectives David Anson and Monty Victor went into the underbelly of the drug and criminal scene to locate witnesses that would not speak to the police and gathered evidence to exonerate Dustin Silver.

Much suspense and a page turner to the end.
