Cold Blooded: The New Year's Day Massacre

by The Ghost, Larry Johnson (Editor)

The true story behind TV One's "For My Circle of Trust" — as told by the woman who made the 911 call.*
In 1959, the Clutter family murders in Holcomb, Kansas shocked a nation and became the basis for Truman Capote's *In Cold Blood*. In 2006, it happened again — in Richmond, Virginia, when Bryan and Kathryn Harvey and their daughters Stella and Ruby were brutally murdered by Ricky Javon Gray and Ray Dandridge.
This is the story the news never told.
Lilly Ann Pauley — the woman whose 911 call ended Gray and Dandridge's murder spree — breaks her silence to reveal what really happened, including new details law enforcement never made public. From Ashley Baskerville's role at the scene to the investigation failures that let the killers roam free, *Cold Blooded* takes you inside a true crime story so chilling it inspired a national television episode.
Readers call it "chilling," "gripping," and say there's "not one boring page." If you watched the story on TV, now read the version that never made the news.

Great insight

I was always fascinated with this horrendous story. This books lets you know how it was like to be faced with evil in your home. My heart goes out to the family. I really hate they didn’t get the money . They was disappointing. Maybe the mom should have hired a lawyer because they are the main reason why those killers are off the street. What a brave family.

Bad guys...

These were two very bad people. It baffles me that people have no conscience within themselves. What they did to these people was just pure evil.
The poor family that turned them in? I hope they got restitution, I hope they got their life back. It's a sad situation that after all these years we're still letting racism flourish. Uncalled for...I liked the feisty Mama though!
Good read...😊
