True crime in the news

---

Author-journalist Lilette Chan-Santos tells how she came to write the book about Fr. Romano’s abduction in 1985. In 2024, almost 30 years after publication, she says, ‘I still stand by every word in it.’

Cebu’s widely known ‘Desaparecido’ was Fr. Rudy Romano, a Redemptorist priest whose unsolved abduction would be 40 years old in July 2025.
