The True Story of Two Teen Killers.
What is happening to the children?
Two teenage high school dropouts, David Anderson and Alex Bara were inseparable friends - and outcasts in their hometown of Bellevue, Washington, an upscale suburb of Seattle. They spent the majority of their time playing fantasy games and hanging out at the local Denny's with their Goth buddies. Alex's and David's young lives were going nowhere fast - and soon they were convicted of a terrible crime.
On January 3, 1997, they lured twenty-year-old former schoolmate Kim Wilson into a local park, where she was beaten and strangled to death. Immediately after the killing, at the victim's nearby home, her mother, father, and younger sister were brutally slaughtered.
A newspaper journalist who covered the crime, the investigation, the trial and its aftermath, Putsata Reang masterfully tells a disturbing and powerful true story of senseless multiple homicide. She illuminates some of the darkest corners where a shockingly increasing number of America's youth hides its rage, pain, and madness until it explodes in Bellevue, at Columbine . . . or anywhere across the nation.
