Publisher's summary

"Today, Cindy and I ran away and killed an old lady. It was lots of fun." (Shirley Wolf's journal, June 14, 1983)

Shirley Wolf and Cindy Collier met in a juvenile detention center and had known each other for only a few hours when they decided to escape and randomly kill a stranger.

They would go to a senior condominium center in Auburn, California, where they would seek an elderly victim.

They would find one in the 85-year-old Anna Brackett. They entered her home under the ruse that they needed to use the phone to call their parents.

The girls would brutally murder the elderly woman in a crime so shocking that deputy sheriffs were initially in denial that two young girls would commit such a crime.

But how did they get to the point mentally where they could commit such a horrid act?

This is the story of how they got there.

Sophomoric writing, terrible narration

Even if this book were free, don't bother. The headline says it all except to add that the narration is the absolute worst I've ever heard which is saying a lot. The quality of narrators has declined considerably since I began listening to Audible in about 2008.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
