The residents of Rolling
Hills, a hamlet in southeastern Ohio, were horrified when the
dismembered bodies of two missing teens were pulled from the local
river. Multiply suspects surfaced, but only one was railroaded, Richard
Allan Lloyd, a known nudist and hothead.
What began as an
evening stroll turned into what found only in horror films, and dubbed
‘the crime of the century’. 18 year old Babette, a voluptuous beauty
contestant and horsewoman, and her 19 year old boyfriend Shane
Shoemaker, a jealous and possessive unemployed printer, were last seen
crossing a trestle bridge. Within fourteen days, their mutilated torsos
and severed heads and limbs were unearthed, suggesting satanic cult
activity.
With an
investigation smeared with contradicting statements, and a botched crime
scene, investigators built a flimsy case against Richard Lloyd. The
three-week trial was based on police corruption and ineptitude,
fairytale theories, and forensic mishandling.
This heinous crime
shattered the sense of security for Rolling Hills, destroyed two
families, and forever scarred the town. This story is a detailed account
of finding justice for Babette and Shane, and of one man’s perseverance
to gain his freedom from death row.
