A frustrated, unhappy wife. Her much younger, attentive lover. A husband who degrades and ignores her. The stage is set for a love-triangle murder that shatters family illusions and lays bare a quiet family community's seedy secret world of sex, sin, and swinging. Better Off Dead, the latest true crime book from New York Times best-selling author Michael Fleeman, strips away the pleasant veneer of the Silver Lakes neighborhood in California's high desert to tell a shocking story about a headline-grabbing crime.

The Colonial Parkway Murders - the name given eight murders that took place in the Tidewater region in the late 1980s, two of which were on the historic Colonial Parkway, the nation’s narrowest National Park. Young people in the prime of their lives were the targets. But the pattern that stitched this special kind of evil together was more like a spider web of theory, intrigue, and mathematics. Then, mysteriously, the killing spree stopped. Now, father-daughter true crime authors Blaine Pardoe and Victoria Hester blow the dust off of these cases.

On September 5, 2015, 14-year-old Sherokee Harriman drove a kitchen knife into her stomach as other teens watched in horror. Despite attempts to save her, the girl died, and the coroner ruled it a "suicide". But was it? Or was it a crime perpetuated by other teens who had bullied her? Sherokee's short life and tragic death created a national media and social media frenzy, much of it centered on sensationalism rather than the truth. Meanwhile in LaVergne, the community sought answers to questions about who, if anyone, should be held criminally responsible for "bullying".

Detective Derek Mois wasn’t sure what he was dealing with when in March 2008 he walked into a home in an affluent Omaha neighborhood and was confronted with two bodies. Both had been murdered with kitchen knives plunged into their throats. Who would do something so vile, and why? Lacking answers, Mois and other detectives working the case were stumped. Five years later, a strikingly similar crime occurred in which two more victims were brutally murdered with knives expertly thrust into their jugular veins.

Publisher's Summary
On a cold Southern night in 2013 under a full moon, 20-year-old Heather Elvis parked her car at a boat ramp along the Intracoastal Waterway and was never seen again.
The disappearance of the beautiful, vivacious hostess at the popular Myrtle Beach, South Carolina made international headlines and triggered a sweeping high-stakes investigation that exposed a twisted web of deception, betrayal, sexual obsession, police corruption, and revenge. But Heather's body was never located.
A series of sensational trials involving a handsome restaurant coworker and his Disneyland-obsessed wife resulted in shocking verdicts - but no body - as her family desperately sought closure and fought for justice, and a resort town struggled to regain calm.

Poor Heather
Missing… and Presumed Dead writen by Michael Fleeman & narrated by Kelly Ryan Wilmoth. This book tells the story of 20-year-old Heather Elvis going missing. I must admit after listening to this book I googled the case and couldn’t believe I never heard about it. The narrator did an okay job and the book was spot on with the articles I came across during my google search. For the most part I felt like I was listening to a documentary. This book hit me as an eye opener, it made me feel like calling to check on my relatives. I can’t imagine what the Elvis family went through and I hope one day they find peace. I received this book via promo and that has no influence on my review of this book.

Narration
The narration on this story was not very good. First off, he sounded like he was in a barrel. He stumbled over many words while reading and mispronounced many. Didn’t sound very professional. The story kind of hopped around all over the place and there was a lot of reading from court transcripts which can be tedious.

Good Subject Matter
I have never heard of this case,
The author does a decent job of outlining enemy's.
Sometimes the story is repetitive and an get boring by this.
The narrator has a really good voice but the mouth noises, background sounding like flowing water, and the tinney effect of most of the chapters made it near impossible to listen to.
I would suggest this narrator get some beta readers and more technical knowledge.

True story
I did not realize this was based on at true story until about two hours in. Than I had a whole new out look. I usually don’t read true stories. But this one got my attention as a fellow Disney fan I got my curiosity and held it to the end I hope one day the family gets closer. Quality of the audio recording is OK sometimes you can hear background noise and bumps into the mic. Also sounds like it’s in a tin can at some points. Overall put together great

Looking forward to more from this author
The facts of this true crime story were well presented, with good research and capable prose. The narrator's performance is good but unpolished. The biggest issue for the narrator is the production, which features background noises at times and simply does not have a clean sound. I look forward to more from this author. If the production issues are solved, I will look forward to more from the narrator.
I received this book free of charge in exchange for an unbiased review.

Still Missing
Missing...and Presumed Dead
By: Michael Fleeman
This is a true crime disappearance of twenty year old Heather Elvis. When she first went missing most people feel like she is a perfect innocent young girl. As time and
investigation go by it's shown she was more worldly and hd been involved with a married man almost twice her age.
Several of the police officers were found to be corrupt. That had an effect on the retrial of Sydney Moore after the first hung jury. The second trial delivered a
conviction for him on kidnapping charges. Tammy Moore went on trial for kidnapping and conspiracy.They both ended up in prison but not for murder. I hope the Elvis
family will someday find peace.
The police arrest the man she was involved with and his wife. They tried them separately.
The narration was well done. Kelly Ryan Wilmoth did OK, but seemed he would stumble here and there with a mispronunciation. His voice was good for this genre.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
