Product Description

Product Description
Vicki Lyn Robinson, 49, wasn't the type of woman to go missing. The divorced mother of two teenage girls, she was a successful realtor and steady churchgoer. When her boyfriend reported her disappearance on June 27, 1998, friends and family feared the worst. Her house in a Tampa, Florida suburb was empty. Her younger daughter Valessa, 15, was also gone without a trace. Valessa was a troubled teen with a trouble-making boyfriend, Adam "Rattlesnake" Davis, 19, a drug dealer with a record for burglary and auto theft. She'd last been seen with him and his buddy Jon Whispel, also 19. Now all three were on the run. A multi-state dragnet for the fugitive teen trio ended in their capture in Texas after a high-speed car chase. They confessed that they'd been tripping on acid when Valessa suggested they kill her mum for trying to break up her romance with Davis. Davis then fatally stabbed Vicki Robinson. This is their story - a tale of the kind of real-life terror that can come out of nowhere and destroy a family forever.

4.0 out of 5 stars pure evil..., 16 Feb 2009
This is one of those stories that defy belief. Yet again it is one that I saw on a documentary on Sky and was over the moon to find a book about the case as I was intrigued by it. The author tells this difficult tale well but I felt towards the end she defended Valessa's part in the crime a bit too much. Yes Valessa was only 15 but in my opinion 15 is more than old enough to not allow yourself to be manipulated into killing your own mother. The fact that they were on the run for a few days and Valessa didnt show any remorse about the murder or about her boyfriend and his friend spending her mothers cash like water...she was more interested in her phantom pregnancy. Not a very nice story (not that any of these books are!) and she did get off rather lightly with her sentence.
