She was the hottest property on the planet and everyone wanted a piece of her. Some wanted a lot more than just a piece of Lana Richards. She was the latest hot pop star from America flaunting her beauty and talent to make it in the fickle entertainment industry, and this made her a prime target for those who mix terror with religion.
