I know many of you follow posts about crime written by me and my colleagues on the cooperative blog, Women In Crime Ink.
Now, I've added a personal blog to my repertoire, Writing Is a Crime. On this site, I blog about crime, too, but I also provide information to other writers, vignettes of my life and diverse subjects that capture my interest. You'll never know what's coming next because, quite frankly, I don't have a clue either.
Stop by and leave a comment. I look forward to hearing from you.
Diane Fanning, who wrote a book on Casey Anthony's case, talks about the woman charged with killing her 2-year-old daughter and how her relationship with her parents changed after her arrest.
The first full-length, in depth account of the Caylee Anthony case
When news broke of nearly three-year-old Caylee Anthony's disappearance from her home in Florida in July 2008, there was a huge outpouring of sympathy across the nation. The search for Caylee made front-page headlines. But there was a huge question mark hanging over the case: the girl's mother.
Why did Casey Anthony wait one full month before reporting her daughter missing?
Why were searches for choloform and missing children found on her computer?
Why did she go out partying with friends less than one week after Caylee disappeared?
As the investigaton continued and suspicions mounted, Casey became the prime suspect. In October, based on new evidence against Casey--her erratic behavior and lies, her car that showed signs of human decomposition--a grand jury indicted the young single mother.
Then, two months later, police found Caylee's remains a quarter of a mile away from the Anthony home. Casey pled not guilty to charges of murder in the first degree, and she continues to protest her innocence.
Did she or didn't she kill Caylee?
This is the story of one of the most shocking, confusing and horrific crimes in modern American history.
