Children of darkness and light : Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell : a story of murderous faith. by Hellis, Lori.;
"It all started when Lori Vallow met Chad Daybell at a doomsday prepper event. Their story grew like a wildfire that creates its own weather, and what happened next will shock even the most experienced true crime reader. Clinging to and manipulating one another, Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell believed the return of Jesus Christ was imminent and that God had chosen them to lead the 144,000 and usher in the new millennium. When the people closest to them began dying, it became clear they would stop at nothing to be together and fulfill their mission. When the bodies of Lori's missing children -- J.J. and Tylee -- were discovered in Chad's backyard, the strange and complex story of their fundamentalist Mormon beliefs were revealed in all their true horror."--Library Bound Incorporated

The Castleton Massacre Survivors’ Stories of the Killins Femicide [electronic resource] : by Cook, Sharon Anne.aut; Carson, Margaret.aut; cloudLibrary;
A GLOBE AND MAIL TOP 100 BEST BOOKS OF 2022 • WINNER — ONTARIO HISTORICAL SOCIETY ALISON PRENTICE AWARD • BRASS KNUCKLES AWARD FOR BEST NONFICTION CRIME BOOK 2023 FINALIST A former United Church minister massacres his family. What led to this act of femicide, and why were his victims forgotten? On May 2, 1963, Robert Killins, a former United Church minister, slaughtered every woman in his family but one. She (and her brother) lived to tell the story of what motivated a talented man who had been widely admired, a scholar and graduate from Queen’s University, to stalk and terrorize the women in his family for almost twenty years and then murder them. Through extensive oral histories, Cook and Carson painstakingly trace the causes of a femicide in which four women and two unborn babies were murdered over the course of one bloody evening. While they situate this murderous rampage in the literature on domestic abuse and mass murders, they also explore how the two traumatized child survivors found their way back to health and happiness. Told through vivid first-person accounts, this family memoir explores how a murderer was created.General adult.
