true

I was married to John Hancock and was shocked at the Neeley's gruesome fun.I read an article in our local paper Rome News Tribune a movie is going to be made,you really need to read this book.

13 yr old murdered

This book was a attention getter from start for me simply because alot of the crime is in GA & Tn (Southern States ) . The detail in book is very graphic at times and it mostly does talk about the murder of 13 yr old McMillian girl , but there is so much MORE TO THIS BOOK . It also tells of the abuse that the killer went through with her husband or at least suppose to have went through , and for sure it gives the reader the feeling that Alvin was a controling husband but I am not sure to the point to where he drove the wife to kill . It also says that he (Alvin) had sex with the 13 yr old before his wife killed her , The wife cruises the street alone for her victims and when she picks up victim she gets on CB radio to her husband and they meet up . This book in away takes you inside the mind of a true cold blooded killer and a woman that would kill by any means whether injecting her victim with liquid drain opener over and over again ,or by shooting a person in back , or pushing victims over a cliff to a floor canyon .

i think it is unfair it's not only pike

I know chriats personally,i met her after she commited her crime.I have to honestly say the book does not include shadolla and tadaryl as it should.I don't condone what christa done but as a tax paying citizen I am paying for Tadaryl to live in prison and shadolla is free and it couls happen again with the knowledge that she has and has gotten away with it.thats what scares me the most.Christa is really a loving person..she made a terrible choice on jan 12,1995......but as you read the book tadaryl kept throwing colleen back and shadolla even states "you cant leave her like this" and christa says"shut-up i need to think i didnt mean for it to go this far".ive seen christa shave her head so cancer children would have a wig,now is that a monster?I think not.christa was too small to use the asphault as the court says.tadaryl had to do that part,,,,,and that part is what killed colleen.im very sorry for colleens death but now im sorry christa is dying.Ive heard her say a million times "all i ever wanted is love"now she's dying.the book itself is not as bad against her as intended if you read it with an open mind.it tells a lot but not all.the audio tape the book refers to could not be used in court because the audio worked not the video so she wasnt making fun of or reinacting the part she was being honest and told the police what happened where.she has a good heart and she's dying soon.Public please see her as a person and not a monster.she's the most caring person ive ever met in my life.thank you.please let her go out with dignity
