ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The writing of a book devoted to a specific true crime requires authenticity and accuracy in the reportage of the occurrence. Only then is the re-creation a valid presentation.

This work has been so guided. Acknowledgments are recorded here of persons who gave me their cooperation and firsthand knowledge of what transpired with their experience in this case, without which this work could not have been effectively completed.

Jim Larson, husband of victim Carla Ann Larson, and his mother, Ada, graciously provided detailed accounts of the ordeal of horror that they lived. I am also grateful to Ada Larson for her permission to reprint her column printed in the Orlando Sentinel on Thanksgiving Day, 1997.

Detectives Cameron Weir and John Linnert of the Orange County Sheriff s Department contributed their time, recollections and behind-the-scenes knowledge, Johns coming via e-mail from Boston, where he now resides.

Assistant State Attorney Jeff Ashton served brilliantly in this double-featured courtroom battle. Jeff took time for many interviews and telephone calls to give me the aspects of the states case. He was especially helpful and considerate.

Public defender Bob Wesley cooperated with an interview on the defense of the accused.

Former prosecutor Ted Culhan accounted some of the background preparation of the case against the accused.
