You really have to wonder what sort of abuse was done to HER as a child to make her abusive? I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out that the preacher grandfather sexually abused her from a young age. That’s usually how these stories work out.

Gruesome and fascinating. That poor little girl. I’ve since read that police are investigating the possibility that she might’ve abused other children in the area. It doesn’t sound like they have any proof of this, but that they’re looking into it at all makes me even more curious about her. Loved the account of her arraignment where she apparently flinched at the mention of the little girl’s name. Early on I’d wondered if perhaps she wasn’t taking the blame for someone else, but it sounds like the police are pretty confident that it was actually her. Who knows what else they’ll uncover. . .

I’m not normally interested in these child-murder cases, but I am absolutely fascinated by this. I think it’s because the suspect is so different from the female murders I usually read about–poisoners and Aileen Wuornos. I wonder what the motive was.

I was waiting for you to comment, dearest Comtesse. It is all the more interesting because it is so rare for a woman to be the perpetrator in this sort of crime, and because of how quickly and…definitively she was apprehended. I mean, it’s not like the town sheriff made a snap decision that it was some trouble-making kids (*cough*westmemphis3*cough*), but rather that it became BLINDINGLY OBVIOUS almost immediately that a young, likable girl had been raped and murdered with little remorse by a Sunday School teacher and mother of her own young daughter. You have to wonder what circumstances are going to come to light as the case goes to court.

I agree, I’m completely enthralled by this case and I can’t wait to see it unfold.
