Cinnamon Brown

Does anyone know whatever happened to Cinnamon Brown? She killed her stepmother in 1985. Ann Rule wrote about her in her book "If you really loved me"

I have no idea but that name jumped out at me when I saw your thread. Wow. I haven't thought about her in years. That was a good book.

I felt so sorry for her...I hope she got out and had a better life...

I did find this.

UPDATES Continued...

If You Really Loved Me: Although I have yet to confirm all the details, it appears that Cinnamon Brown's husband was a suicide in the city of Las Vegas this year. Cinnamon hasn't had many breaks in her life, and I pray that she has happier days ahead. She and her late husband had a son several years ago. If she should happen to read this, I hope that she will get in touch with me at AnnieR37@aol.com. David Brown remains in New Folsom prison in California, and likely will be there for the rest of his life. I hear occasionally from his daughter, Krystal, raised by David's parents, who is grown and living on her own. Her grandfather passed away a few years ago. Cinnamon and Patti Brown have been out of prison for more than a decade. Cinnamon lived with an Orange County family for about six months until she became acclimated to the world outside prison. She married and has a child. The last I heard she was working in a very responsible job. After she was paroled, Patti married a prison guard and gave birth to twin boys. She regained custody of her daughter, Heather, who was fathered by David. Richart "Liberty" Steinhart died of A.I.D.s many years ago, still a committed Christian. There was a made-for-TV movie about Arnold Brown's case, but it was not based upon my book, and based on Patti Bailey's story.

I've wondered about her from time to time too. IIRC, I read she changed her name but I am not 100% positive on that. I contacted Anne Rule via email and asked her if it was true that Cinnamon Brown's husband committed suicide (because when I read it on the blog - it jarred me).. and Anne Rule actually emailed me back - I never in a million years thought she would personally respond to me, but she did... and she confirmed it was true.

Anyway - I couldn't believe this story when I read Rule's book about it. I did watch that TV movie - the actress who played Cinnamon Brown was Moira Kelly who was in "The Cutting Edge".. I watched it one night when I was visiting my mom and she was in disbelief that it was a true story.

I saw the movie of her life. It was tragic. What a manipulative father.

I had to click on this link when I seen it. Haven't heard her name in a long time. I read the book and watched the movie. Gripping!!

Scary that there are people in this world like her Dad.

For all you Ann Rule Fans, Lifetime movie is doing a miniseries on

Everything she ever wanted..


There is never a shortage of news about Patricia Vann Radcliffe Taylor Allanson Taylor Pat is 68 now, and scarcely the slender and lovely Southern Belle she once was. Several years ago, she was paroled from her second prison sentence--for pretending to be a "Registered Nurse," and poisoning and stealing from the elderly Crist couple. Pat returned to McDonough, Georgia, to move in with her stepfather, Clifford,” The Colonel" Radcliffe and his new bride, Aggie whom he had married a few months after "Boppo" died. (Aggie was Pat's mother Boppo's younger sister.) Pat has a small doll shop nearby: "Pat's Pretty Playthings." Aggie passed away last year, and Pat's son, Ronnie, also died in 2004. Pat is battling Ronnie's widow over who will possess his cremains. Radcliffe is in his nineties and was hospitalized several times in 2005. When he is home, Pat cares for him and oversees his business affairs. Pat bears much ill will toward her granddaughter, Ashlynne, now in her twenties, and, of course toward her daughter, Susan, who was instrumental in Pat's most recent arrest. Susan lives on the West Coast, but occasionally gets ominous messages from Pat. Susan and Bill divorced many years ago, and Susan has happily remarried and is slowly putting her family back together.

Tom Allanson and Liz are still happily married and have had some good years since his release from prison. He has been very active in the Full Gospel Church and confers with Georgia officials to support a program that benefits parolees who want to change their lives. Sadly, Tom was badly injured in an accident last year when another driver hit his truck. His broken neck wasn't diagnosed in the ER, and he subsequently suffered several strokes. He is doing better, but is not all the way back to health. Tom was reunited with his two children, and has also met some good friends from his youth through my book. Tom has proved that people CAN leave prison and have a very positive effect on society. Still, the upheaval Pat caused in his life has left many scars on his family. There may well come a time when I will be adding additional chapters to Everything She Ever Wanted . . .

EXCELLENT book and excellent made-for-TV movie.

That was probably my very favorite of Ann Rule's books.

Thanks Tracian. Expected to air in August. I can't wait. One of my favorite true crime stories also.

When I saw this I had to click on it right away too. I read Ann Rule's book and have never forgotten it. Small Sacrifices affected me that way also.
I can still see the pics of her in the shiny photo's in the middle of the book.
Gosh, time has flown, hasn't it?
