    About this ebook

    The chilling secret life of Faryion Wardrip, the Texas Sunday school teacher who was sent to death row for his brutal crimes.
     
    To the people of Olney, Texas, thirty-nine-year-old Faryion Wardrip was an upright citizen—a happily married man, a valued employee, and a respected Sunday school teacher. But everyone in Olney would soon learn the truth about the man they thought they knew.
     
    In January 1999, investigators reviewing the files of three unsolved murders dating back fifteen years came across information linking Wardrip to the attractive young female victims—Terry Sims, twenty, who had been bound, raped, and stabbed to death; Toni Gibbs, twenty-three, who was found slashed and sexually assaulted; and Ellen Blau, twenty-one, who disappeared after working a night shift, her badly decomposed body found a month later.
     
    Smart police work snared a sample of Wardrip’s DNA, matching it with semen found in the Sims case. Wardrip confessed to the three murders, and one more—the strangulation death of Debra Taylor, twenty-five—though it was Sims’s murder that put him on death row in Texas and made him the prime suspect in ten other similar unsolved killings in Fort Worth.
     
    From an author who has been called “the Texas version of Ann Rule,” this is the shocking true story of this infamous case (Times Record News, Wichita Falls).
     
    “Gripping true crime.” —Lt. James Cron, Dallas Sheriff’s Department (ret.)

      I was bored, well not really bored, just seemed like she was novelizing or fictionalizing parts, almost making the killer a sympathetic person so i was losing interest. Then it seemed to pick up and get rather interesting. Then we got to the trial and zzzzz

      By the way, i wonder how any criminals ever get caught in Texas, police have such a case of tunnel vision!

      Cannot recommend this.

      This is what i wrote back then in 2004 (and I must say I am laughing about my review now. they look like letters to friends lol) :

      November 20 2004 I am nearly finished. It is a very interesting book with shocking photo's. I am so grateful that DNA has been discovered so we can catch the real criminals. Right now I am at page 251 at the trial. I could not believe that after hearing those accusations his wife is still behind him.
      Update some hours later Finished. An interesting true crime book. My grade would be a 7.5 but because of the attention to the victims i am going to grade it 8

      (edit I have decided to change my 8 into a 7 because a lot in the book was repetition
