Publisher's Summary

This true story begins on Valentine's Day, 1961. Fourteen years old, Claudette Carolyn Covey went missing from Hondo, Texas. On Halloween evening, 1961, Claudette's remains were discovered eight miles from town in a field. She had been shot twice in the head.

From the beginning, town folks believed that she was murdered by the corrupt sheriff or his 18-year-old son, whom she was dating. Because of the corrupt sheriff's influence, no one was ever charged with the murder.

The story follows the life of the sheriff's son from 1961 to his death in 1998. The son was on the edges of many similar murders of young girls in the Houston and Galveston areas - but he was never charged. After 1961, the sheriff's son was arrested twice for the rape of 12-year-old girls, essentially walking away from these charges due to the connections of his father. After the deaths of the father and son, former wives and stepchildren, no longer terrified, came forward. They tell a horrific story of brutality, rape, incest, and murder at the hands of the son.

Our novel connects the dots and makes the case that a serial killer went to his grave never charged with his many crimes against young women.
