HE CALLED IT JACKLIGHTING. THE COUNTY CALLED IT NOTHING.

A True Crime eBook by Carla Conti

For three years, a stretch of Route 14 in Vessey County, Wisconsin swallowed people whole — and the sheriff's department wrote it off as bad luck, runaways, or nothing at all. Locals had another name for what was really happening out there after dark. They called him the Jacklighter.

Investigative journalist Carla Conti spent four years pulling the case back open — chasing buried case files, cornering reluctant sources, and sitting across the table from a survivor no one had believed. What she found wasn't just a killer. It was a county that had every chance to stop him, and chose silence instead.

This is the story of how a small town's need to protect its own name became the reason a predator stayed free for years — told in the same propulsive, obsessively reported style that's made true crime's best books impossible to put down.

Why this story hits different

A real institutional failure, not just a monster. This isn't about one bad man — it's about everyone who looked away.
A survivor's account, finally told in full. The testimony investigators didn't want to believe.
Original reporting. Not a rehash — years of firsthand interviews and documents no one else got access to.
