The horrifying true story of Randy Headrick, who slaughtered his wife and mother-in-law to collect thousands of dollars in life insurance - and almost got away with it.
..even though I knew the outcome from reading the captions for the photos in the middle of the book..I was mesmerized by the cruelty of this murderer. To murder one's wife , who was "slow" (mentally retarded) in such a horrific way (shot three times and then a spear plunged through her!!) and to murder her mother at the same time in the same way!...and all for insurance money! The murderer was described later as having a "brilliant mind"...I don't get it..then why was he making just $6.00 an hour in a menial job?? All of the people in this book sounded like "po' white trash to me..book takes place in Alabama. One has to admire the tenacity of the investigators over the years, esp. the female one, who would not let go until justice was done. The writing was sufficient for the material..I have already ordered Sheila Johnson's other book on true murder.
