Whitman County Library has recently added two new biographies to their collection. A Stolen Life: A Memoir by Jaycee Lee Dugard recalls the day her life was stolen. For eighteen years she was a prisoner and an object for someone to use and abuse. Jaycee became a mother and was forced to be a sister. For eighteen years she survived an impossible situation.

Portrait of a Monster by Liza Beth Pulitzer and Cole Thompson recalls the disappearance of Natalee Holloway on May 2005 from a high school trip to Aruba. A 22-year-old Dutchman, Joran van der Sloot, was arrested in connection with the murder, only to be released after questioning. In 2010, on the five-year anniversary of Holloway’s disappearance, a young business student in Peru named Stephany Flores Ramirez disappeared, only to be found dead three days later in a hotel room registered to Joran van der Sloot.
