Synopsis

On September 28, 2000, former Indiana state trooper David Camm made a frantic call to his former colleagues in the state troopers office: He had just walked into his garage and found lying on the floor the bodies of his thirty-five-year-old wife, Kim, and their two children, Brad and Jill, ages seven and five.

Three days later, things got worse when police arrested David Camm for the triple murder. Soon new stories started emerging about mistresses and violent bursts of temper. And as the ugly truth about the Camms' marriage got uglier and the evidence against David started piling up, two families—and the community at large—took positions at opposite sides of a yawning and bitter divide. Was David Camm a dedicated, conscientious public servant—the victim of unspeakable tragedy who was being railroaded by an unfair system? Or was he a cold-hearted murderer who earned his three murder convictions and every one of the 195 years behind bars to which he was sentenced?

Goodreads review by Charlene on September 09, 2016

I wrote a review for this book and when I pushed submit, Goodreads glitched and my review was lost. Here is my second attempt. One of the better true crime books I have read. The best thing about it was that it highlighted, seeming without intent to do so, the significant problems inherent in our jus......more

Goodreads review by Denise on May 08, 2020

I’ve read a great deal of fiction in my life in which despicable villains were portrayed, but I must consider that this true crime account of David Camm and the crimes he’s accused of rank with the worst. Author John Glatt does a first rate job of meticulously presenting the arrogant, philandering,......more

Goodreads review by Rachael on March 13, 2023

I had never heard of this crime before I read the book. It is also interesting that this book was written before Camm was officially exonerated. I do think that Camm was a shit guy. He was a shit husband and a shit father, but I don't think he murdered his family. I honestly don't understand how he......more

Goodreads review by Paul on November 08, 2020

Whenever I'm depressed, it seems like true crime is all I read, and I was plenty depressed as the 2020 election finally dragged to a finish. Then I was no longer depressed, and I ordered five new books to get started on. The most true thing about this book is that when psychopaths are caught, all the......more
