First Semester: The Case of Kyle Quinn

Kyle Quinn was a 19-year-old second-year transfer student majoring in history at Kutztown University. He aspired to become a professor one day and dreamed of being a father who could pass down valuable life lessons to his children. An avid outdoorsman and a passionate poet, he was excited about college, especially since his older brother, Dennis, was also attending. The two brothers shared a close bond and made plans to hike the Appalachian Trail in the spring of 2008.

Tragically, Kyle would only have the chance to pursue his dreams for two short weeks, as a group of longtime friends had other plans for him.
