Serial killer survivor Paul Patrick, Author Camille Kimball, Wicked Attraction crew Darin and Rusty

From the book:

     The blood dripping down was his own, to his astonishment, and now that he saw it, he felt the searing pain. Now he knew the shot had landed on his own body. He had no idea where the shot had come from but he could now see and feel in the dark where it had landed, a confusingly wide swath of his own body--his arm, his back, his torso. He ran through the signage and the shrubs and the cactus, leaving blood the entire way, and staggered in the lobby of the Hotel Radisson...

The Face of Murder?

This is a booking photo of a woman charged with murder. It's not every day we see 79 year old female murder suspects. Today, it seems, Betty Neumar went on to face Supreme Justice before coming to trial on Earth. Her family is reporting her death in North Carolina.

Betty Neumar was charged in the death of one husband, but at times there have suspicions that all five of her "better halves" were victims of her allegedly murderous ways.

Superb true crime author Diane Fanning had been planning a book on the case. I'm very interested to read up on all the details. The question of whether or not a person, especially a woman, can get away with murder for a lifetime intrigues me very much. Female murderers, especially of the Black Widow type, often know just the right psychological tricks to get people to think of them as vulnerable and innocent, instead of dangerous and deceptive.

It will be awhile before Diane Fanning's book on this case comes out. In the meantime, why not pick up her book on the Casey Anthony case? Now is the perfect time, with trial on. You can read it quickly and get really grounded in the case while the lawyers are in endless sidebars.




Psssssst!

WHAT SHE ALWAYS WANTED
