True Crime Women

Cosa è successo ad Anita Garibaldi, in fuga dagli Austriaci, che non ha lasciato viva le paludi di Comacchio? In questo saggio a metà tra una biografia e un reportage, le misteriose circostanze che hanno portato alla morte di Anita Garibaldi vengono affrontate come in un romanzo poliziesco dai toni noir, riprendendo sentenze, testimonianze e articoli di giornale risalenti all'epoca dell'accaduto. Un'indagine che cerca di far luce su una delle pagine oscure del Risorgimento Italiano.

Tre donne protagoniste loro malgrado di tre casi di cronaca nera tra i più discussi e intricati degli ultimi anni e che, dopo tutto questo tempo, continuano a far discutere.

Now, more than 90 years later, the Chicago Tribune tells the story of the four women who inspired the timeless characters of Chicago.

Everyone, it seems, missed the most obvious signs: A childhood filled with poverty, neglect, drugs, pornography, physical, mental, and sexual abuse will invariably lead to an adulthood full of greed, lust and violence. No one, however, could have predicted the terror that Reginald and Jonathan Carr, two brothers in Kansas, would inflict on seven unsuspecting men and women over nine days in December 2000.

It was a profound "Aha!" moment for Karen Lodrick: She suddenly realized how she knew the vaguely familiar looking woman in jeans and Gucci glasses, carrying a brown suede coat and a Prada purse, standing beside her at a local Starbucks. Karen's ID had been stolen five months earlier. Her bank account had been emptied, and her life sent reeling out of control. The suede coat was the same one she'd seen in the bank surveillance tape, worn by the woman who'd stolen Karen's ID.
