Teen Memoirs

Three harrowing tales of three teenage girls who left behind a trail of murder and mayhem.

A look back at a trio of teenage girls who belied their innocent looks to become serial killers. Sisters Regina and Margaret DeFrancisco were two teenage girls who made national headlines for murdering Oscar Velazquez, a suitor of Regina. Marlene Olive was the teenage girl who became notorious for the "BBQ murders" in which she murdered her adopted parents and tried to dispose of their bodies in a barbecue pit.

In my stories, the World's Strongest Man is presented as a superhero figure who does whatever he can to help all of humankind, to prevent evil, and promote good works.

Kristina was only 14 years old, five feet tall, and barely 100 pounds. Yet she committed one of the most brutal assaults in the history of her Iowa town.
