Murder of Innocence: The Tragic Life and Final Rampage of Laurie Dann by Joel Kaplan
4.0
Could not put this down! While truly sad, this lady was completely insane/existing outside reality. There were so many red flags, so many authorities involved, and so many people begging for her help. However, rich, affluent parents either enabled her or ignored the problems because it "didn't look well for the family".
Her slow downfall was like watching a car crash; you can't look away just like you can't stop reading to see what Laura does next. The meat. The babysitting. The ruining of a high-school ex's life (poor guy). The peeing everywhere. The phone calls. Ice pick. Closets. I mean, wow. BANG, are there injuries int hat car wreck, because there were in this book and real life because of Laura Dann.
Her plan, while completely unattainable to her malfunctioning brain and behavior, was pretty impressive/diabolical. She could have injured and killed hundreds had her bombs succeeded or had her guns not malfunctioned/dumped them. We all know no one was going to eat those Rice Krispies or drink the juice boxes. Poor dog. :(
I truly feel for the people, children, and families that were affected by her mental health issues as there was no need for it to EVER get that far. Hopefully all officers, detectives, and therapists involved learned from Laura and used it to impact their careers and help people in the future.
