About this listen

In June of I985, while her teenage sons held their half sister down, Theresa Cross beat her I9-year-old daughter Sheila unconscious and then stuffed her into a 2' x 2' storage locker. After three days the knocking, kicking, and cries stopped. Theresa and her sons dumped the girl's body in the desolate High Sierras....

The summer before, Theresa had dug a bullet out of her daughter Suesan's chest with a paring knife. When Suesan failed to recover (without benefit of doctors or hospital), Theresa and her two sons drove the delirious girl to the mountains, doused her with gasoline, and set her on fire....

For nearly nine years, Theresa Cross Knorr got away with murder, until her youngest daughter, Terry Knorr Graves, finally found a cop who believed the incredible story of her two murdered sisters. That story is all here, the shocking life of a woman whose violence, jealousy, rage, and domination led to a brutally heinous crime of ruthless ferocity.

very well researched, written and performed, but also so hard to listen to. pretty much the entire time you just feel like teaching through your listening device, shaking people and screaming "do something, say something!" not to mention wanting to get your hands on the perpetrator's throat. stranger than fiction is surely the only phrase to describe it.

gripping but highly disturbing

The whole story was hard to follow. So many people coming into the story and trying to figure out where they all fit was difficult.
