What did Mr Harvey do to Susie?

On December 6, 1973, he lures his 14-year-old neighbor Susie Salmon into an underground “clubhouse” he had built in the woods near his house, and rapes and murders her once she is in his power. He then dismembers her body, puts her remains in a safe and dumps them in a landfill.

What is the true story behind The Lovely Bones?

Yes — kind of. The afterlife storyline, in which Susie watches her family from purgatory, is not real. But the original author of the book, Alice Sebold, stated that the story was partially based on a real rape and murder of a young girl in Norristown, Pennsylvania, who was kidnapped from her parents in the 1970s.
