The Citizen's Arrest of Clinton County, Ohio: True Stories of Casey Pitzer and Andy Napier: Where Are The Good Guys?

In March 2013, twenty-year-old Casey Lynn Pitzer disappeared after a night out in Wilmington, Ohio. A week later, her body was found in a pond, and officials ruled her death an accidental drowning. But her family and supporters have long pointed to forensic inconsistencies, missing evidence, and conflicting witness statements and video footage as reasons to doubt that conclusion.In March 2026, Casey’s story was the subject of a Sinclair Inc. documentary called Dead Silence: The Casey Pitzer Investigation, released through Criminally Obsessed on YouTube.For more than a decade, Casey’s father, Greg Pitzer, and a small group of citizen investigators have fought for answers. What they say they uncovered reached beyond one case: missing or destroyed evidence, conflicting official accounts, resistance to public-records requests, and retaliation against those demanding transparency.This book follows the parallel struggles of the Pitzer family and the Napier family, who has endured the suspicious death of a brother and father, (Marvin) Andy Napier, died under what appeared to the family and many community members, as violent circumstances on November, 25th, 2019, while in the custody of the Clinton County Sheriff’s Office. Together, these cases raise troubling questions about what happens when institutions accused of seeking justice are instead alleged to protect themselves.Drawing on records, legal filings, photographs, sworn affidavits, and witness accounts, this is a story of grief and heartache turned into advocacy. It is about ordinary citizens who refused to accept silence, documented every contradiction, recorded every word, and kept pushing for accountability when the system appeared determined to move on.At its core, this book asks two simple questions:1) Where are the good guys?2) What would you do if it were your loved one?
