A True Crime anthology of missing women... When a person goes missing, the first twelve to twenty-four hours are the most crucial time. If the person is to be found alive, then it is during that first day when the best chance of a happy outcome exists. More data exists on the make-up of missing people than of ways to trace them. Forty per cent of those in the US are children, and a third of the total are African American citizens. That is a heavy over representation. Only one in under eight people in the US are from this ethnic group. Jamie Fraley is neither a member of the African American community nor a child, although at the time she went missing, the diminutive 22-year-old blond could have passed for one. Sadly, when she disappeared, she also did not turn up on the first day - nor the first year. In fact, 2018 marks a decade since the young woman was lost.

Rebecca Fincham Davis met Gary Lee Davis while he was locked up behind the bars. She knew he was a very dangerous individual and that was part of his appeal. However, she allowed him to come into her life and change it completely. Their relationship and marriage was certainly an odd one because Gary Lee Davis didn't escalate to killing someone before they started seeing each other. Something in Rebecca made him push his limits even further. Perhaps it was his own sexual frustration or Rebecca herself. While we have the evidence that proves what this killer couple did, Gary Lee Davis' changing stories never truly revealed what exactly happened in Colorado in 1986. All we know is that a young woman was viciously killed by this violent couple.

A collection of True Crime stories are featured in this anthology. Not every killer is a desperate man, a jealous husband or scheming 'black widow' woman. Not every murder is a robbery gone wrong, or a sexually driven crime. Sometimes, killing takes place just because it can. And the perpetrator of this most savage of crimes can sometimes be the person we least expect. Caroline Grills seemed liked the perfect aunt. But underneath the facade lurked a murderer in waiting.

Josie's tiny nostrils flared as a rotten stench of decayed fruits spiraled in the air. She was supposed to get used to the smell of this place; for she had been born and raised in the slum. But she wasn't yet familiar. Each day presented a new guttery odor, which plunged her deeper and deeper into sadness. Life in this part of Tremont wasn't exciting or fulfilling in anyway. Life in this hellhole was pathetic and she yearned for a way out.At first, her hope was ripe and her faith was tall when her parents were alive. Even though she played with the other kids in the slum, she knew she would leave them one day. Her parents had always made her understand that she didn't belong in the slum.

Josie sighed in despair as she stared at the azure clouds. She was not happy being here, she was almost giving up on her dreams. Only one thing kept her.

History shows us that men are most likely to commit heinous crimes but women are no strangers to violence either. Yes, they do not kill frequently and female killers do not engage in killing sprees so often. Instead, their crimes are driven by passion and sometimes even obsession with another person. They are not prone to selecting a random victim but would turn on their partners, friends, or family. Women are usually not killing for the thrill but they do so for their own personal gain, even if it seems illogical to a bystander. So as you may already know, whenever a body turns up somewhere, the police would immediately question the closest family members.Crystal Mae Wagner's case is intriguing because she managed to include a third man into the whole narrative and make him do the dirty job for her. The overly brutal killing and the disposal of the body shocked the Bibb County in Georgia. Luckily, Crystal Mae Wagner's body count didn't escalate and she was caught in time

Faith came through the labor of her first child a little worse for wear. It had been twenty-three agonizingly long hours of pain and worry. The good part was that she and her husband, Luke, were now blessed with a new boppli boy. After the birthing process, Faith had been far too exhausted to even hold the poor little boppli, let alone choose a name for him. Luke tried as best he could to manage the boppli alone. The midwife had mentioned that a case of the baby blues was a normal happenstance of childbirth, what with all the tumultuous hormones and all, but Luke was quickly feeling overwhelmed with trying to care for an infant, plus keep an eye on Faith as she tried to recover. It was getting a bit too much to manage. Luckily, Faith had a cousin, Sadie, who was a little older than the average Amish woman, and was available to help as a nurse to the child and to Faith, so Luke felt that now was the perfect time to broach the topic with Faith...
