Coincidentally, I just checked out a book from my local library called "Finding Susan", written by Susan Harrison's sister, Molly Hurley Moran, about her disappearance and murder.

If you thought Jim Harrison looked guilty in the UM segment, wait until you read the book!

I bought this book on Amazon based on Dinoguy's recommendation of it. It is a fantastic book and anyone interested in this case should read it.

There was a book I bought a while ago about Dorothy Allison and it mentions a lot of the cases that were mentioned in the UM segment, but goes more in depth. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

I'm not sure which one you got, but the one I got from Amazon was A Beautiful Child by Matt Birkbeck. I thought it was excellent.

It was published about 10 years before her true identity was finally unearthed by the FBI after Floyd provided a previously unknown alias. Birkbeck wrote a short update to the book/case on his website.

I haven't read it, but I believe there is a book about the Allagash UFO abductions. I believe this is the one: https://www.amazon.com/Allagash-Abductions-Undeniable-Evidence-Intervention/dp/0926524224

"The Man in the Rockefeller Suit," by Mark Seal, gives a lot of interesting information on the John and Linda Sohus case. For instance, the Sohuses lived in the poorer section of San Marino and still lived with John's mother because they couldn't afford to live anywhere else. The author gives his version of what he thinks happened to John and Linda (the Linda part is especially interesting, because her body has never been found, and nobody's been tried for her murder.)
