TOO YOUNG TO DIE

Paperback. Crime Stories: The Best of Court TV - the source for the most in-depth, on-the-scene true crime reporting. Contents include : 16yr. old Jennifer Tombs was from a church-going Denver family, but that didn't stop her from running with a dangerous crowd. When her mother asked neighbour Tanya Lavallais, 23, to "babysit" her one night, the troubled teen shot the innocent young woman 5 times in the head - so she could party with her friends. When the body of missing 10yr. old Jeffrey Curley was discovered near his Cambridge, Massachusetts home, Sal Sicari, an over-eager volunteer in the frantic search was accused of molesting and then smothering the boy to death. He claimed the murderer was his roommate, alleged paedophile Charles Jaynes. Pursuit of the truth would put the justice system itself on trial. Danny Rolling was a real-life "Jason" from "Friday the 13th" horror movies. His lust for rape, torture and sadistic slaughter left 5 students dead and the college town of Gainsville, Florida paralysed in fear. His grotesque arrangements of his victims' dismembered bodies taunted police with a promise of horrors yet to come. Illus. with 16pp. of exclusive photos. 320pp. mass market p/back. From the library of true-crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. with no creasing to covers.
