WITH DEADLY INTENT

Paperback. Crime Stories: The Best of Court TV. Contents include : In Charlotte County, Florida, a thicket frequented by hunters of wild boar became a dumping ground for the bodies of homeless men - all raped, strangled and dismembered. Police lacked the proof to arrest prime suspect Daniel Conahan, 42 - until they heard the chilling testimony of a victim who had survived the serial killer's murderous attack. In Florida's Port St. Lucie, Victor Brancaccio, 16, savagely bludgeoned 81yr. old Mollie Frazier and then covered the corpse with red spray-paint before burning it. The top-flight defence team his family hired claimed the anti-depressant drug Zoloft, had turned their client into a psychotic killer - but the jury wasn't buying it and sent Brancaccio to prison for life. The town of Lonoke, Arkansas, was stunned when all-American boy Heath Stocks, 20, was arrested for the murder of his parents and sister, 18. Just as horrifying was the discovery that Scoutmaster Jack Walls had molested members of his Boy Scout troop for years - turning them into a perverse violent circle with Heath as his "greatest creation." Illus. with 16pp. of exclusive photos. 287pp. mass market p/back. From the library of true-crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. with no creasing to covers.
