At three years old, Jodie watched her father murder a woman in a seedy hotel room.
Her murder left a destiny to locate the truth and get the chance to bring healing and justice to cold crimes lost to time..
Her life mattered and so did her death.
Unrelenting guilt to bring this woman justice would open doors to the past that could not be closed.
The literal victims of murder, and victims who experience that same destruction in their souls.
It\'s all murder.
But it\'s also a courageous dedication to all children who have lived through childhood violence and deviance.
Would this victim find justice - for herself and for the murdered woman? Would peace ever live in her world again? This story is not only an homage to all missing persons never found under the rubble they were dumped into after a brutal death.
Millions of children have suffered for crimes they did not commit.

No help would be found in Jodie\'s family.

Like a breastplate of righteousness, the diabolical clan changed morality to fit their own design.
Her family coat of arms was incest.
A budding darkness around the reality of her past was coming sharply into focus.
The murdered woman\'s spirit seemed to ignite a search for answers in Jodie\'s adulthood.
A life suffocating the truth wouldn\'t work for Jodie.
He, a true-born sociopath, strolled undetected, using religion as his disguise.
