SPECIFIC INTENT The Chilling True Story of a Sex-Fueled Orgy of Multiple Murder in the Swamps Outside New Orleans

Paperback. On June 2, 1985, 8yr old Nichole Lopatta disappeared from the New Orleans apartment complex where she lived with her family. After a search that lasted several days, her badly decomposed body was found in a rural area outside the city. Nearby lay the corpse of Billy Phillips, a deranged hitchhiker, stabbed 82 times and missing his left hand. A bizarre trail of violence and crime led investigators to the Florida holding cell of John Francis Wille. Held there on another charge, he refused to co-operate. But Judith Walters, his guilt-ridden girlfriend, finally confessed to conspiring with Wille, Phillips and her 14yr old daughter, Sheila, to lure little Nichole into their car. Then all four of them participated in a depraved orgy of rape and murder that left Nichole and Phillips dead. After a sensational trial marked by some of the most grisly testimony ever recorded, Walters and Wille were convicted of first degree murder. A former homicide detective, the author brings this horrifying true story of sexual deviance and vicious murder to life. The book presents a chilling portrait of a monster who seduced his girlfriend and her daughter into the ultimate act of savagery against an innocent child. Illus. with 12 pp. of photos.
