There's a really good book on this case called "Son of a Grifter" by Kent Walker.
This is actually one of the sons of the criminals that we're talking about today.
I don't even know what to say. This was a book that I finished in one sitting which is alarming and I say that a lot but this book was like 500 something pages.
Every page is like watching a dark sitcom. It's so dark, it's so gruesome but he's able to deliver every detail with like this strange witty humor that you're not expecting.
I haven't seen a lot of deep dives on this case. There's a really good A&E episode on it. Larry King interviewed the woman and this podcast episode won't be a deep dive but I highly recommend this book.
