A gut-wrenching true-crime account of a couple on a twisted killing spree in the American South
Evil has a way of finding itself. How else could you explain the bond between Alvin and Judith Ann Neelley, who consecrated their marriage in blood? Before the killings started, they restricted themselves to simple mischief: prank calls, vandalism, firing guns at strangers' houses. Gradually their ambition grew, until one day at the Riverbend Mall in Rome, Georgia, they spotted Lisa Ann Millican.
Three days after Lisa Ann disappeared, the thirteen-year-old girl was found shot and pumped full of liquid drain cleaner. In between her abduction and her death, she was subjected to innumerable horrors. And she was only the first to die.
Drawing on police records and extensive interviews, Thomas H. Cook recounts the story of Judith Ann Neelley, who at nineteen became the youngest woman ever sentenced to death row

No binding. Etat : Very Good. First edition. Paperback. On September 29, 1982, Lisa Ann Millican's tortured body was found at the bottom of Little River Canyon, Alabama. Nearly 3-weeks later, 22yr old Janice Kay Chatman's badly decomposed body was discovered a few miles away in Gordon County, Georgia. The desperate hunt for those responsible for the grisly murders led police to 18yr old Judith Ann Neelley and her husband Alvin. It did not take long for investigators to make their most suprising discovery: the impetus behind the killing spree came not from sinister, smiling, oversized Alvin Neelley, but from his pregnant teenaged wife, Judy, who far exceeded her husband in her cruelty and thirst for deadly control. Charged with kidnapping and murder, Judith Neelley would achieve a distinction grimly unique in the annals of American justice - at the age of 18, she would become the youngest woman ever sentenced to Death Row. Here is the bizarre and terrifying tale of a truly shocking case that tore apart a Southern community and made unprecedented legal history. A vivid and disturbing account of how two social misfits joined together in a hellish marriage of rage and violence. Illus. 336pp. mass market p/back. V. lightly browned pp., minimal creasing to covers. Vg+. N° de réf. du vendeur 17910
