ISBN: 9798258908704 - the sharon kinne murders: investigation, trials, and flight from justice in missouri and mexico (3 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. In 1960, a young Missouri housewife shot her husband in the back of the head while he slept and told police her two-year-old daughter had pulled the trigger. The insurance company believed her. The town of Independence believed her. For a while, so did the law. They were all wrong. Over the next sixty-five years, Sharon Kinne would be tried for murder three times without a final conviction, acquitted by a jury that asked for her autograph afterward, shoot a man dead in a Mexico City hotel room, escape from a Mexican federal prison during a blackout, and vanish into a small Canadian prairie town under an assumed name - while one of the longest outstanding murder warrants in United States history ran in her name and produced nothing. She died in her bed at eighty-two. The warrant was still active. It took an anonymous tip, two parallel investigations, and forensic genealogy to find a woman who had been dead for three years before anyone outside her immediate circle knew to look for her. The Sharon Kinne Murders reconstructs the complete documented record of a case that exposes what happens when charm, circumstance, and the failures of a legal system collide - and what it takes, sometimes, to finally close a file that should never have been opened as an accident in the first place. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. …
