The Case of Lee Rodarte

Savannah Gold's parents, Sharon and Daniel, received such unusual text messages from their daughter. And the more unusual thing was that the texts were riddled with spelling mistakes. Straight away, they became very suspicious and terrified of Savannah's safety.

By whom were these texts sent? Who was trying to post as Savannah and deceive her parents?

Was it her so-called new lover or someone else? She wasn't answering her phone and she wasn't on social media. This is the story of Savannah gold. And as her name suggests, she was someone known to have a heart of gold.

True crime is not for everyone. But chances are, if you've picked up this book, you already know that. Actual true crime is not like watching an episode of CSI. Even television true crime documentaries can skim over the sticky details. Real true crime can be unsettling for many people. However, I do my best not to leave out any details in my books. My intention isn't to shock but rather to give the reader a glimpse into the killer's mind. I don't begin to think that I can understand the mind of a diabolical monster, but I can guarantee that curiosity will keep us turning pages and endlessly searching for answers.

Each story in my books requires hours of tedious research. I search through court records, old newspaper articles, police records, autopsy reports, and first-hand accounts. Although I may occasionally change a character's name or fictionalize bits of dialogue, these crimes really happened to real people. Sadly, this is the world in which we live.

The stories in this volume are terrifying and represent human behavior at its absolute worst. Pure evil. However, these things really happen in the world and we shouldn't ignore that fact. We may never understand what goes on in a killer's mind, but at least we can be better informed.

We may never really understand what goes on inside the mind of a killer, but at least by studying the case histories and knowing their backstory, we might gain insight into what makes them tick. With any luck, we can learn from the past.
