PRAISE FOR If I Can’t Have You “Compelling,” “haunting” —The Salt Lake Tribune “A powerful narrative of one family’s tragedy.” —Publishers Weekly “…absorbing and deeply researched…” —The Seattle Times Introduction By Gregg Olsen and Rebecca Morris WE’VE WRITTEN ABOUT DOZENS OF CRIMES in our Notorious USA series. We’ve looked at the worst of the worst—husbands who killed their wives; women who killed their boyfriends; children who died because they became inconvenient to a parent’s lifestyle; boys who took a weapon to school; love triangles that have turned ugly. How could they not? What have we learned? Mental illness is often a factor, but most people who commit horrific acts do so because of jealousy or greed. It’s alarming how many kill in order to collect on life insurance—even on their children. Overkill is a compilation of Notorious Colorado, Arizona and Utah. Colorado’s edition includes three of the country’s most infamous crimes which all occurred in the same area of Colorado: the murder of JonBenet Ramsey, the Columbine school shooting, and the Aurora movie theater massacre. We also report on an Amish serial killer, a fatal attraction that led to a murder, and on a minister’s wife whose illicit passion drove her to murder. In Arizona’s, we update several cases, including: a man suspected of marrying vulnerable women, then killing them; two infamous Arizona killers freed after decades in prison; television’s “it girl” Jodi Arias; a woman who was her mother-in-law’s worst nightmare; and a football mom who got a little too cozy with members of her son’s high school team. And in Utah’s edition, we report on one of the most sensational and heartbreaking crimes we’ve come across—Megan Huntsman, the Utah mother who hid seven dead infants in a garage; a cold case that was finally solved by a child’s Lego; the rogue Fundamentalist Mormon who thought it was his right to marry and rape young girls; the sad case of children dying in hot cars; the husband who ended years of lying with murder; and an update on the disappearance of Susan Cox Powell, the case we write about in our book If I Can’t Have You. Why are we fascinated and repelled by crime? To paraphrase the Chinese philosopher Xun Zi, every one of us is born with feelings of envy and hate. If we give in to them, we’re led to violence and crime. The rest of us struggle and might come close to that proverbial line in the sand, but we don’t cross it. But we’re disgusted—and a little intrigued—by those who do. If there’s a notorious case you’d like us to write about—anywhere in the country—contact us.
