some interesting links about the murder of Dorene Raterman

I've realized that despite my google-foo there doesn't seem to be a lot of information out there on the web regarding the murder of Dorene Raterman in 1988. Dorene was only 15 years old when she left a note for her parents saying she was going on a bike ride-- she was never seen alive again.

Dorene's life ended before it really had a chance to begin. She shouldn't be forgotten just because she was murdered prior to easy access to the internet.

Posting these links mostly to keep them handy!
