Synopsis
"Among Murderers and Madness" is the true story of murders long unpunished and questions still unanswered.The story unfolds through the eyes and words of reporter Sonny Long, who covered the murders since day one. He tells the tale through his own experiences, through the voices of those closest to the victims and the suspect and through media reports of the case. "Among Murderers and Madness" is a nearly 20-year journey; a winding road from the murders of a mother and her two children to the guilty plea of a man many believed from the beginning had committed the crimes. Along the way a cast of characters emerge, some good, some bad, some even bizarre. The role of the media covering the case is also examined not only the author's own publication, but the other local newspaper, area newspapers and television stations as well as the national media.Kevin Hailey, once described in a Gentleman's Quarterly article as "Opie on steroids," lived only 300 yards from the Atlanta, Texas mobile home where his former girlfriend and her two young daughters, 11, and 2, were found murdered on Jan. 27, 1992. By his own admission, Hailey spent the day before, Super Bowl Sunday, snorting cocaine, smoking marijuana, and drinking. Two months later Hailey, the son of a local deputy sheriff, was arrested and charged with strangling the mother, wrapping a telephone cord around the neck of the oldest daughter, and drowning the baby in the bathtub. A high profile Dallas attorney, Doug Mulder, swept into the rural county and got Hailey's bond lowered following a probable cause hearing. During that hearing the district attorney stunned spectators in the courtroom when he declared he was "on the wrong side" because of what he considered weak evidence. After his release, Hailey's life continued to take wrong turn after wrong turn until he landed in Angola, Louisiana's toughest prison, convicted of an unrelated attempted murder.For 17 years, the murder of the Butts family went unpunished until a new district attorney and new DNA evidence finally resulted in Hailey's indictment and ultimate plea agreement.Journalist Sonny Long reported on the case since the day the bodies were found. He established a close relationship with the victims' family and friends, befriended members of law enforcement, and remained in correspondence with Hailey's mother even after she was convicted of murdering her husband. He has also corresponded with Hailey with the convicted murderer proclaiming his innocence despite the plea agreement.The author's intimate conversations with those closest to the case and his tenacity in keeping the case alive in the minds of the public makes "Among Murderers and Madness" the definitive source for not only the senseless stealing of three lives, but for the maelstrom the murders caused in both the lives of two families and in the consciousness of a community., "Among Murderers and Madness" is the true story of murders long unpunished and questions still unanswered.

The seller also messaged me as soon as the purchase went through so communication was great. This was the last book in the series that I needed and to be able to find it in such great condition and at a great cost was unexpected. Highly recommend this seller and will definitely buy from again in the future.MARTIN THE WARRIOR (REDWALL) By Brian Jacques - Hardcover **BRAND NEW** (#187149385105)
- t***s (44)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaThe Item itself I rate five stars. The seller, however, I stop at four stars. The seller met two out of three categories I look for when judging my purchasing experience: how well it was packaged, how quickly it was shipped, and how properly it was described; this seller provided prompt shipping and an accurate description, but failed when it came to packaging. The item arrived in a plastic bag without any reinforcement or protection whatsoever and suffered dinged corners on multiple fronts.
