I just started reading this book.

It's about the pregnant mother, her daughter and one of two sons who were murdered in 1995 and the baby cut from her womb.

The book is very graphic and quite unsettling as is the story itself.

That is why I stay away from True Crime. In Cold Blood was enough for me.

I haven't read that one yet.

This story is of interest to me because the woman went to high school with my brother and he knew her. I found her picture in his yearbook. She lived only 10 minutes from where we lived at the time and her remaining family members live only 10 minutes from where I live now. I do not know them.

I never knew the woman but it still seemed to hit close to home that a crime of this capacity took place so close by in an area so familiar to me. My cousin used to live in the apartment building where it happened as well only he had long moved out by the time it occurred.

Eerily, another similar murder took place in that same apartment a few years prior. Not just the same building, but the same apartment. Two completely different circumstances with completely different perps but yet the same location, similar dynamic, similar "method" within an 8 year time frame.

Just curious, is this speculation or do you have any substantial proof? Never read the book, but was always interested in doing so.

I personally do not have any proof but according to the author, the perp from the earlier murder was caught by police following a blood trail that led from the apartment to his door and blood was found in his bathroom matched the victim.

There was ample proof in the second murder of who committed the crime against Debra and her children as well as witnesses.

The book is very interesting but again, it's also very graphic and heartbreaking.
