The girl was never found but shortly thereafter, a serial killer named Ed Gein was arrested in a nearby town. Gein, whose crimes were the source for the classic Alfred Hitchcock film "Psycho.", had used the bodies of dozens of female victims to make ashtrays, tables and other items. But in those days before DNA, police were only able to tie him to two murders where Gein had made masks of the victims' faces. He was suspected of killing the girl Duncan and others had searched for, but nothing could be proved.
Duncan wrote his first short story about these events. He later moved to California, became a career civil servant and recently retired. But he never forgot Gein or the search for the girl Gein may have killed. He has now published his first novel, "Elena" based in part on his search for the girl, and partly on crimes resembling Gein's. But the horrors found in "Elena" differ from those in "Psycho" because they are all linked to a sinister Force, who torments her victims even beyond the grave.
He lived over 40 years in Oakland CA with Diane, his wife of 49 years..He is currently working on a series of novels, of which "Elena" is the first.view less
