About this listen

On July 13, 2011, Laura Jean Ackerson of Kinston, North Carolina, went to pick up her two toddler sons. It would be the last time she was seen alive. Laura's ex, Grant Hayes - the father of her two sons - and his wife, Amanda, the mother of his newborn daughter, both pointed the finger at each other as the one guilty of murdering Laura, cutting up her body, and then transporting and disposing of the remains on the shores of Oyster Creek, Texas. This is the hauntingly true story of a devoted mother, a disturbed couple, and how these horrific events came to pass.

The narration by Diane Fanning in this book was absolutely fantastic. I was gripped from the start and couldn't believe the amount of real-life emails and court transcripts that were shared in this audio book, placing readers right where everything happened. A truly fantastic read, would highly highly recommend!

This book shocked me, what some people can do to others is appalling. I looked the boys mum up, such a beautiful young woman. Am wondering how those children are now. Written & very well narrated. Thank you
