DEADLY SECRETS From High School to High Crime - The True Story of Two Teen Killers

Paperback. Two teenage high school dropouts, David Anderson and Alex Baranyi were inseparable friends - and outcasts in their hometown of Bellevue, Washington, an upscale suburb of Seattle. They spent the majority of their time playing fantasy games and hanging out at the local Denny's with their Goth buddies. Alex's and David's young lives were going nowhere fast - and soon they would be convicted of a terrible crime. On January 3, 1997, they lured 20yr old former schoolmate Kim Wilson into a local park, where she was beaten and strangled to death. Immediately after the killing, at the victim's nearby home, her mother, father, and younger sister were brutally slaughtered. The author, a newspaper journalist who covered the crime, investigation, the trial and its aftermath, tells a disturbing and powerful story of senseless multiple homicide. She illuminates some of the darkest corners where a shockingly increasing number of America's youth hides its rage, pain and madness until it explodes in Bellevue, at Columbine...or anywhere across America. Illus. + Epilogue. 342pp p/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. V. lightly browned edges o/w Nr. F. with no creasing to covers.
