About this listen
Under the Trestle is the true story of the most compelling murder case in Virginia history. In 1980, beautiful Gina Renee Hall, a Radford University freshman, went to a Virginia Tech nightclub on a Saturday night. She was never seen again. Her abandoned car was found parked beneath a railroad trestle bridging the New River, with blood in the trunk. The investigation led police to a secluded cabin on Claytor Lake, where there was evidence of a violent attack. Former Virginia Tech football player Stephen Epperly was charged with murder, despite the fact that Gina's body was never found.
In Virginia's "trial of the century", prosecutor Everett Shockley presented an entirely circumstantial case. Key witnesses against Epperly included his best friend, his mother, and a tracking dog handler later believed by many to be a fraud. Three former Virginia Tech football players testified, including a Hokies quarterback once featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
Would Epperly become the first person in Virginia history convicted of murder without the victim's body, an eyewitness, or a confession? And would authorities ever find the body of Gina Renee Hall?

Excellent
This was a very interesting story that I had never heard of before. Well worth a listen. It is very detailed, and the narrator is very good and easy to listen to. Steve Epperly still maintains his innocence, but all the evidence was stacked against him. Shame on him for never disclosing where poor Gina Halls body was buried. Her remains have never been found.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book
I thoroughly enjoyed this book . It kept me spellbound . It was a bit dragged out in parts as in - the story could have been told in half the time - but against that it was an extremely good read

Under the trestle.
Interest and sad story. There was much that as repeated, meaning the book could have been at least a third shorter. Very good narration apart from say November 31st, there is no such date. A law should be made that any murder will not be released unless the murderer says where the body is, especially in cases such as this.
I was able to listen for free, I had not heard of this case (I am in the uk). May this lovely young lady RIP.
