New: Too Many Hit Men. Marty Malone hired a
hit man to murder her former husband and then tried to hire the detective
assigned to investigate her to kill the hit man. The hit man, in turn, tried to
hire a fellow inmate to murder Malone.
New: Gothic Murders. The Christmas holidays that had brought 20-year-old Kimberly Wilson home for a rocky visit were waning the night she was strangled to death in a park near her house. Then, to cover their tracks, the two 17-year-old boys who murdered her -- friends of hers with "Gothic" interests -- broke into her family's house in an upscale Seattle suburb, went to the master bedroom and bludgeoned and stabbed to death her father and mother before proceeding down the hallway to murder her younger sister.
