Is The Lovely Bones based on a true story?

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.

Did they ever find Susie body in The Lovely Bones?

Susie herself later reveals that her killer dismembered her body and dumped it in a nearby well. Susie’s body never being found works for the story symbolically.
