Download or read book Death of Football Players Wife written by Justina Chi and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-10-28 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the infamous Professional Football Player Rae Carruth just came home after sitting in jail for almost 19 years for the conspiracy to commit murder of his son's mother, and brain damage to his son. "Four hit her body. Three were wounds. One was fatal. It penetrated her left side, tore through her stomach, ripped her intestines, punctured her lung, severed her pancreas and cut her splenic artery, immediately causing her to start bleeding out."This quote is from an article about Cherica Adams, a young woman who was murdered by NFL star Rae Carruth on November 16, 1999. Cherica was Rae Carruth's girlfriend, and she was known among the public as an up-and-coming real estate agent and model. She was a self-made multimillionaire by her mid-20s, and lived a luxurious life that many would be jealous of. When Cherica was eight months pregnant with Rae Carruth's child, she was murdered by Brett Van Winkle, a hitman hired by Rae Carruth. Cherica was young, just 24 years old, when her life was unjustly taken by a man who didn't want the responsibilities of a child. She survived for a month after being shot five times, but died shortly after delivering their son, Chancellor. Chancellor was born handicapped, though it is a miracle that he survived the trauma. I often wonder if Rae Carruth thought he would get away with this crime. His case reminds me of OJ Simpson's -- did OJ think he would get away with his murders, too? Nobody knows if OJ was truly guilty or not. The only people who know the truth are his victims, and they're not alive to tell their stories, just like Cherica Adams isn't alive to tell her story. So many victims of abuse at the hands of their significant others aren't alive to tell their stories. But I'm alive to tell mine.

Download or read book Murder in the Bayou written by Ethan Brown and published by Scribner. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soon to be a Showtime documentary, Murder in the Bayou is a New York Times bestselling chronicle of a high-stakes investigation into the murders of eight women in a troubled Southern parish that is “part murder case, part corruption exposé, and part Louisiana noir” (New York magazine). Between 2005 and 2009, the bodies of eight women were discovered in Jennings, Louisiana, a bayou town of 10,000 in the Jefferson Davis parish. The women came to be known as the Jeff Davis 8, and local law enforcement officials were quick to pursue a serial killer theory, stirring a wave of panic across Jennings’ class-divided neighborhoods. The Jeff Davis 8 had been among society’s most vulnerable—impoverished, abused, and mired with mental illness. They engaged in sex work as a means of survival. And their underworld activity frequently occurred at a decrepit motel called the Boudreaux Inn. As the cases went unsolved, the community began to look inward. Rumors of police corruption and evidence tampering, of collusion between street and shield, cast the serial killer theory into doubt. But what was really going on in the humid rooms of the Boudreaux Inn? Why were crimes going unsolved and police officers being indicted? What had the eight women known? And could anything be done do stop the bloodshed? Mixing muckraking research and immersive journalism over the course of a five-year investigation, Ethan Brown reviewed thousands of pages of previously unseen homicide files to posit what happened during each woman’s final hours delivering a true crime tale that is “mesmerizing” (Rolling Stone) and “explosive” (Huffington Post). “Brown is a man on a mission...he gives the victims more respectful attention than they probably got in real life” (The New York Times). “A must-read for true-crime fans” (Publishers Weekly, starred review), with a new afterword, Murder in the Bayou is the story of an American town buckling under the dark forces of poverty, race, and class division—and a lightning rod for justice for the daughters it lost.

Book excerpt: Blink once for yes, twice for no, and three times for murder Sometimes it seems like all the boys at school know about Andrew Tillet’s friendship with Inspector Peter Wyatt of Scotland Yard. Mostly it’s a little embarrassing, but when Andrew’s classmate Cortland makes a very strange request, it becomes handy to have friends who can launch an official investigation . . . as well as ones who work in more unofficial ways. Cortland thinks there’s something not quite right about his grandfather’s poor health, but they’ll have to get the old man out from under the watchful eye of Dr. Thurlow before they can be sure. This calls for another ingenious scheme . . . and for keen-minded Inspector Wyatt to connect a retired admiral to a high-level intelligence leak.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Willie Cuesta, former Miami Police Department detective-turned-private investigator, is swinging in his hammock, estimating the number of mango daquiris he can squeeze from a ripe piece of fruit about to fall from his tree. He’s also waiting for a prospective client who refused to discuss her case over the phone. Ellie Hernandez hasn’t seen her fiance, Roberto “Bobby” Player, in ten days, and she wants Willie to find him. Bobby has been obsessed with the suspicious death of his parents more than thirty-five years ago in Cuba, and he recently went to the island to find their killers. Only six years old when they were murdered, he was living in the United States, where they were supposed to join him. He was one of the “Peter Pan” kids smuggled out when Fidel Castro took over. Willie learns the Players controlled one of the most successful casinos on the island and a large sum of money—half a million dollars—disappeared with their deaths. His investigation reveals an assortment of suspicious characters who were in Havana when the Players were killed, including a former Cuban spy now living in Little Havana, Mafia gangsters involved in gambling institutions and even an undercover US intelligence agent. Were they murdered by the Cuban government for being involved in the counter-revolution underground movement? Did the Mafia kill them to steal their fortune? Or did anti-communist Cubans believe they were traitors and execute them? Rumors and questions abound, but when men in rubber masks firing machine guns turn up, Willie knows someone is trying to keep a long-buried secret under wraps!
