U is for Undertow by Sue Grafton

Private Investigator Kinsey Millhone is requested by Michael Sutton to investigate something he remembers seeing 20 years ago.  When he was 6 years old he saw two men digging a hole and they had a wrapped up bundle on the ground near to them.  The memory has been triggered by reading a recent newspaper article about some famous kidnapping stories which included the kidnapping and disappearance of Mary Claire Fitzhugh in 1967.  Even though the requested ransom money was paid Mary Claire was never seen again. 

Kinsey agrees to help out for at least a day and by tracking back over all the information Michael remembers she takes them to Horton Ravine to try to find some familiar ground.  They find the exact spot and the police are brought in to excavate the area.  What they find and dig up starts a whole new investigation for Kinsey.
