plthijnx and I live in a tough 'hood

WOW! What a bizarre story! I wonder if they would have killed the restaurant employees if they had just handed over the money? That woman doesn't sound like the smartest cookie in the box. She could have used her police force position to pull off more clever stuff than that and with much less chance of getting caught. Probably tanked up on drugs. I liked the part where they found her father's skull buried on her premises. That was a nice touch. Sometimes, I think I should become a true crime writer - Ann Rule's gotta retire sometime! The stuff that happens in real life is better than anything Stephen King dreams up.
