Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"Got a problem down here." Bloomington, Illinois, police officer Hibbens didn't sound like himself. His voice cracked. "There's something you ought to see."

The scene awaiting the other policemen as they entered the charming suburban house at 313 Carl Drive was one they would never forget. Three children and their mother lay hacked to death in their beds, their sheets and walls soaked in blood. A butcher knife and an axe lay nearby.

There appeared to be no physical evidence, and the detective at first suspected a bungled robbery. But as the police sifted clues and questioned friends an family members, an appalling possibility presented itself: Could David Hendricks, the grief-stricken father, away on a business trip, have methodically killed his wife and children before he left? And why would a successful businessman and devoted member of a fundamentalist religious group want his family eliminated? The prosecution painted a darker picture of David Hendricks...

Convicted by his first jury, awarded a new trial, a second jury has now concluded that David Hendricks had not been proven guilty--beyond a reasonable doubt.

Synopsis:

In November 1983, David Hendricks's wife and three children were found butchered in their Bloomington, Illinois, home while Hendricks was away on business. Hendricks soon became the prime suspect in the murders of his family. Reissue.

This book leaves me longing for a recap on the murder which now is once again unsolved after the husband/father was aquitted after 7 years in prison. You will find this book to be not only a murder story but also a suspence reading. You will be up and down with "did he do it" and who done it thoughts as you read of the very loving father and husband who could not have axed his family to death, and the business man with a wandering eye for woman who might have wanted to free himself of his marriage but couldn't divorce because of his religion. The informtion in the book leaves me wanting to believe in that David hendrix is not guilty. Steve Vogel had a wealth of facts on this case and this book is actually the best book I have read. I fully intend to read it again.
