Runaway Devil - Robert Remington

Marc and Debra seemed to have it all-a lovely home in the Prairie town of Medicine
Hat, fulfilling careers, a supportive marriage, and two beautiful children: eight-year-old
Jacob and twelve-year-old JR. After years of struggle to reach this point, they finally
felt their future held promise. But on April 23, 2006, their bodies were discovered
in their basement, covered in savage stab wounds. Upstairs, Jacob lay dead on his
bed, his toys spattered with blood.

Investigators worried for JR's safety, but
unknown to them, the pretty honour roll student had been developing a disturbing
alter ego online. Runaway Devil professed a fondness for a darker world of death
metal music, the goth subculture, and a love for Jeremy Steinke, a twenty-three-year-old
high-school dropout who lived in a rundown trailer park. Soon, shocking evidence
in JR's school locker-printed here for the first time-led police to believe the
girl was a suspect in her family's murders.

The case horrified parents everywhere.
Journalists Robert Remington and Sherri Zickefoose have been covering it from the
beginning, and in Runaway Devil, they reveal what really happened: the unlikely young
love, the teenage rebellion, a troubling world of adolescent drifters, and a small
community torn apart by an unthinkable crime.

A modern cautionary tale, Runaway
Devil is also a chilling portrait of an approval-seeking man smitten with a manipulative
young girl-who would stop at nothing to get what she wanted.
