DEAD RECKONING

Take a look at the faces of the people on the cover of this book. In doing so, you are looking at the scum of the earth. They are Skylar and Jennifer Henderson Deleon. They murdered two people by tying them to an anchor and throwing it over the side of the boat. Tom and Jackie Hawks lost their lives because the Deleons wanted their yacht, the “Well Deserved” but could not pay for it, so Skylar and his henchmen (one of them named John F. Kennedy) coldly and callously killed Mr. and Mrs. Hawks.

Skylar was a former child actor whose big claim to fame was an extra in “The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers” television series a time or two. Things went wrong somewhere along the line for him, career-wise, and so he winds up becoming a disgraced ex-Marine, a low-level drug dealer and finally a murderer.

Jennifer was a spoiled brat who became a control freak and, according to evidence and testimony presented, orchestrated the murders.

Skylar was given the death penalty and Jennifer was sentenced to life without parole. No one expects either of them to win their pending appeals.

Even from Death Row, Skylar is looking to have sexual reassignment surgery. He’s probably just tired of other inmates rolling him over and taping pictures of Kim Kardashian to his back to help with the fantasy.

We should be hoping that hell is being kept hot for these two douchebags. Roast in peace, Skylar and Jennifer.

DADDY WAS THE BLACK DAHLIA KILLER

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.

HOUSE OF EVIL

The absolutely horrifying true story of how teenage Sylvia Likens was systematically tortured, raped, starved and eventually murdered by the sick, evil woman Sylvia and her sister were staying with in Indiana.

This book is very hard to take as is the one movie I’ve seen about the case, THE GIRL NEXT DOOR. Makes you wish that the bitch who did this to Sylvia could come back from hell just long enough to send her right back to the pit. I’d enjoy seeing the look on her face right before she heads back to the flames.

Doing a Google map search, I discovered that this house is still standing and, at last check, was occupied. Must still be some kind of grisly tourist attraction.

CRIME ENCYCLOPEDIAS

Michael Newton is one of our best true crime chroniclers. I’m pleased to say that I’ve almost forgiven him for co-authoring DADDY WAS THE BLACK DAHLIA KILLER, which turned out to be the farcical ravings of a women with “false memories”.

I wonder if dead Satanists are still entitled to decent, Christian burials?

Essential reading for a who’s who of whackjobs.

BODY PARTS

Yup, he had small body parts in his pocket when he was arrested. This dumb-ass handed them his own conviction. Wish all dick-head criminals were this moronic and accommodating. World’d be a much better place.

CHOP SHOP

“He promised to honor the dead, then butchered their bodies and sold the parts!”

Hmmm. Interesting to see that the American Entrepreneurial Spirit is alive and well even in the funeral biz.

TEACH ME TO KILL

Boy, this Pamela Smart chick musta really had quite a nookie to get this kid to kill her husband, Greg, for her. But, then, the boy was probably inexperienced enough to believe that Pam’s muffin was the best thing to happen to him. Wonder if he thinks so now?

TRUE POLICE CASES: ARIZONA'S REST STOP RAPIST

INSIDE DETECTIVE: TUG OF WAR WITH THE DANCING CORPSE!

DETECTIVE DRAGNET: CASE OF THE KILLER STRIPPERS

Guess they musta got tired of hearing "put it back on" from the crowd.

Note: The picture page referred to at the beginning of the story is missing.

MASTER DETECTIVE: CHRIS WILDER'S SADISTIC SEX-SLAYING SPREE!

...because if there's one thing the public hates, it's reading about a BENEVOLENT sex-slaying spree!

MASTER DETECTIVE: DARLA'S DATE PLOTTED DEADLY VENGEANCE!

Why? Just because she wanted to eat at "White Castle" and he didn't?
