Omschrijving

What’s it really like to be related to a murderer? Beyond the shock value of crime dramas and documentaries, there are real people who know this painful reality, yet their voices often go unheard.

What if the son you took to Little League grew up to kill your grandchildren? What if your Nana who served you cookies also served time for dismembering her mother? What if the father who called you princess and kissed your forehead at bedtime was a serial killer?

Could you still love them knowing what they had done?

Author Melissa G. Moore, daughter of Keith Jesperson, “The Happy Face Killer,” has made it her mission to connect with other families who know the heartbreak and shame of learning that one of their own secretly committed monstrous acts. For six years, Moore was invited into the private lives of nine families tied to some of the most infamous, headline-making crimes in the world, and welcomed as a trusted fellow family member who understood their unique kind of grief.

Through deeply personal interviews with spouses, siblings, children, grandchildren, and more—including some individuals who agreed to speak for the first time—this book exposes the shared undercurrent of guilt and betrayal that unites these families. Stories include:
Chris Watts, family annihilator. Left behind: Parents Ronnie and Cindy/Sister Jamie Keith Jesperson, serial killer. Left behind: Daughter Melissa Moore Diane Downs, monstrous mother. Left behind: Ex-husband Steve Downs Diane Downs, biological mother. Left behind: Daughter Becky Babcock John E. Robinson, the Internet’s first serial killer. Left behind: Kidnapped niece Heather Robinson Drew Peterson, killer cop. Left behind: Son Stephen Peterson Magen Fieramusca, baby stealer/killer. Left behind: Brother Corban Bates Christine Varness, slayer granny. Left Behind: Granddaughter Kourtney Nichole Nicole Brown Simpson, crime of the century. Left Behind: Sister Denise Brown
Killer in the Family is the intimate, unflinching account of what it’s like to love a killer in the family. Moore and coauthor Michele Matrisciani share these rare, unguarded conversations resulted from asking deeply uncomfortable questions that until now have gone undiscovered—moments where these families opened up exclusively and without reservation about the hidden cost of loving someone the world hates.
