What an interesting story.I am glad I managed to buy a copy of this book. Never heard of these killings before.
After reading this I must say I wonder how they managed to keep Drew in Jail. Robin has changed her testimony so many times, she was totally not trustworthy.
I was sick to read she managed to strike a deal (Murphy pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for Marsden’s death and was given immunity for other crimes in return for her testimony) which in general meant she would be able to be paroled after only 15 years while she was active with all the 3 killings.

After I finished reading I googled the main persons. Drew is still in jail and has a site where he demands justice be done.
Robin was not freed after 15 years. (Mainly I think because she kept on changing her stories even to the parole board). She was freed in 2004 and there was a scandal cause some big lady hired her to work for the state.
Then I discovered that last week she was caught in a car with a convicted criminal which brought her back to jail. Next week a judge will decide if her parole will be how do you say that revoked? Hope so but probably not.
Anyways a very interesting read.
