Read a sample Read a sample
The true story of the horrific murder of a mother and daughter in rural Alabama—and the cop who wouldn't rest until she closed the case . . . Includes photos.

"The worst I've ever seen"—that's how Sheriff Cecil Reed described the July 7, 1995 slayings of Carolyn Headrick, forty-four, and her mother Dora Ann Dalton, sixty-two. The two were found in their home in rural DeKalb County, Alabama, where they'd been shot, stabbed, and even speared by a Native American-style lance. Randy Headrick, Carolyn's husband, was the beneficiary of $325,000 in insurance money. But he swore he'd been at work when the murders were committed—and the police couldn't break his alibi.

Headrick was a troublemaker who'd spent four years in a Texas prison for possession of a pipe bomb. More recently, he'd had an affair with a married woman—which his second wife, Carolyn, had discovered. The woman had later been harassed and her house had mysteriously burned down. The police knew Headrick was bad news, but they just couldn't nail him on these murders. There was only one person who knew for sure if Headrick was the killer . . .
