The Multiple Murders of Mary Kelley Campbell
Author: Ruby Campbell Stroschein and Janel Kelley Campbell
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1950294021
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
This book is a memoir of Janel Campbell who lost her mother when she was eleven years old. Woven through her own stories, Janel gives the backdrop of her mother's life in the high mountain desert plains of southeast Idaho, her marriage to Curtis Campbell, and the events that take her mother from the dry farm in Juniper, Idaho to Los Angeles, back to north Utah, to Seattle, back to Utah, then to New Jersey, and back to Kent, Washington, a path that eventually leads to her mother's brutal murder on March 8, 1961 at the young age of 39. Mary Kelley Campbell was a witty, high-spirited Irish girl who lost her own father at the age of six, raised by her widowed mother, older sisters, and brother. Mary was a devout Mormon, a compassionate Christian, and the mother of six children. The confessed murderer was a member of Mary's church, a Lennie-type Of Mice and Men; a large, strong, lumbering, simple-minded man oblivious of his actions and desperate to please. The helpless 22-year-old confesses to have been hypnotized by a young attractive member of their church, who he claims was obsessed with the idea of having Mary killed and taking her place as the wife of an eminent Boeing engineer. The crime was labeled by King County prosecutors as "...one of the weirdest murders in the annals of the Pacific Northwest." With Mary's legacy banished for nearly sixty years by the pain and circumstance of her death, Janel has quelled the fears she knew she had to face in order to bring her mother's tales of betrayal, heartache, love, and forgiveness to Mary's progeny, and to the world.

Pages : 448
Book Description
Nothing is what it seems in NPR correspondent Mary Louise Kelly’s “riveting, twisty tale” (Hallie Ephron, author of Night Night, Sleep Tight), in which a woman discovers a decades-old bullet at the base of her neck. Caroline Cashion is stunned when an MRI reveals that she has a bullet lodged near the base of her skull. It makes no sense: she has never been shot. She has no scar. When she confronts her parents, she learns the truth: she was adopted when she was three years old, after her real parents were murdered in cold blood. Caroline had been there the night of the attack, and she’d been hit by a single gunshot to the neck. Buried too deep among vital nerves and blood vessels, the surgeons had left it, and stitched up the traumatized little girl with the bullet still inside. Now, thirty-four years later, Caroline returns to her hometown to learn whatever she can about who her parents were, and why they died. A cop who worked the case reveals that even after all these years, police still don’t have enough evidence to nail their suspect. The bullet in Caroline’s neck could identify the murderer... and that person will do anything to keep it out of the law’s hands. Now Caroline will have to decide: run for her life, or stay and fight? With non-stop action, “an extremely likable narrator and twists and turns galore” (Alice LaPlante, author of Turn of Mind), The Bullet will keep you riveted until the very last page.
