Summary

Church-goer.Family friend.All-American boy.Murderer.Ken Register, much to the shock of the small town of Conway, South Carolina, was all of these things.Clean-cut, polite to a fault, and respectful of elders, Ken was the kind of guy parents wanted their daughters to date.But only months after a seventeen-year-old girl's brutal murder, the residents of Conway were in for another surprise: that the killer was one of their own.Ken and Crystal Todd were "best friends," and had even briefly dated.When Crystal's hideously gutted body was found near the woods of Conway, Ken checked in every day to console Crystal's mother and inquire about the murder investigation.Ken was practically the last person anyone would suspect.Until he started acting nervous and suspicious, afraid he would be "framed" for Crystal's murder.And until DNA tests confirmed that he was indeed the man who repeatedly raped and stabbed Crystal Todd, then left her mutilated body in a nearby ditch.Discover, through fascinating first-person accounts: the tortured Southern son who committed murder; the courageous detective determined to break the case; the broken mother who lost her only child; and the disbelieving parents who, to this day, defend their son's innocence.AUTHORBIO: BILLY HILLS is Associate Professor of Psychology at Coastal Carolina University.DALE HUDSON is a successful businessman.Both authors, life-long residents of South Carolina, spent nearly five years researching for this book.
