True crime; Social welfare & social services

The hauntingly true story of a horrific crime that began in North Carolina and ended in Texas--from a national bestselling author.

The

bestselling true crime author of Under Cover of the Night recounts Laura

Ackerson's disappearance and murder in North Carolina, the discovery of her

remains in Texas, and the aftermath...

On July 13, 2011, Laura Jean Ackerson of Kinston, North Carolina, went to

pick up her two toddler sons. It would be the last time she was seen

alive...

Two weeks later, detectives searching for the missing mother made a

gruesome discovery on the shores of Oyster Creek near Richmond, Texas-the

dismembered body parts of a young woman whom they were able to identify as

Laura Ackerson.

Laura's ex, Grant Hayes-the father

of her two sons-and his wife, Amanda, the mother of his newborn daughter,

both pointed the finger at each other as the one guilty of murdering Laura,

cutting up her body, and then transporting and disposing of the

remains.

This is the haunting true crime story of a devoted mother, a disturbed

couple, and how these horrific events came to pass...
