No he wasn’t. Not even close.
Interesting book anyway, but more proof that anyone can claim to remember anything – but that does not make it true.
Don’t know who should be more embarrassed – Janice Knowlton for not being believable, the reading public in general for having been ripped-off, or Michael Newton (one of our best crime writers) for being suckered into shaping this story into a book.
Remember the good ol' days of the sleazy, true crime detective magazines? Now you can re-live those times here at my online detective depot. You no longer have to read them under the covers at night with a flashlight and have Mom shriek at you. Come on in and enjoy these lurid true crime tales for the first or umpteenth time!

You're one heck of a detective, aren't you?
ReplyDeleteJanice Knowlton committed suicide back in 2004 because she couldn't escape all the horrible things that had been done to her when they finally came flooding back.
You're the one who should be embarrassed...
Nope, not embarrassed. Even one little bit.
ReplyDeleteFirst, genius, get ALL your facts correct before you post messages, hateful or otherwise. I never claimed to be a detective; what idiotic hat did you pull THAT out of?
Second, as tragic as it is that ANYONE would commit suicide for whatever reason, it does not change the fact that when her story unraveled, so did her credibility. Therefore her contention that "..horrible things had been done to her" doesn't cut any ice with me because of the concocted Black Dahlia connection.
So, Neon Muslimah, whoever or whatever you are, do yourself and everyone else a favor: take your meds, go lay down for a while and get it together. Good luck with that....
