A fingerprint apparently belonging to Jocelyns estranged husband Wesley Earnest was a respected high school administrator, poised to restart his life in a new community. Parents entrusted their children to his care and believed he was above reproach.

PRAISE FOR DIANE FANNING
Very few writers have the insight and gift to take a true story and make it one hell of a page-turner. In my opinion, Diane Fanning does just that in A Poisoned Passion.
Susan Murphy Milano, domestic violence victims advocate
Author Diane Fanning tirelessly recounts the young womans lying ways, theorizes how Anthony might have disposed of her daughter, and concludes that Anthony is an individual whose self-absorption and insensitivity to others is a destructive force.
Orlando Sentinel on Mommys Little Girl
Im sitting on a couch in our newsroom, pouring through the advance copy of your book. Unbelievable stuff!
Mike DeForest, WKMG-TV, on Mommys Little Girl
I couldnt put it down until I had finished it. Im amazed at how much research you had to have done, and for the parts I actually knew about, the accuracy was more than I could have expected. I have to tell my friends that if they read this book, they will be able to experience everything that I did, just as if they had experienced it themselves. Im a reader and have read many books and still do, but Im still surprised at how well you wove everything into a story thats enjoyable to read and accurate to detail.
Herb Betz on Through the Window
I was astonished by how good this book wasinsightful, well written, and fascinating.
Hugh Aynesworth, four-time Pulitzer Prize nominee, on Out There
With the publication of Diane Fannings book, Written in Blood, the official record is now complete. Fanning provides a full account of the epic Peterson murder mystery. Her writing is superb. Most importantly, Diane Fanning has written a true crime book focused more on the truth than on the crime, and in that sense, her work honors the spirit of the victim, Kathleen Hunt Atwater.

Version_1
For Jocelyn Branham Earnest, a great friend, terrific sister, and loving daughter
Writing a true crime book is not a solo effort. I can only get facts with the help of many other people and, at this time, I want to express my appreciation to some of them.
First of all, three people who shared more than information: they shared their hearts and souls. Thank you: Bill Branham, Laura Rogers, and Jennifer Kerns. I wish Id known your Jocelyn.
Deputy Commonwealths Attorney Wes Nance and Investigators Gary Babb and Mike Mayhew were of invaluable assistance, as were Joey Sanzone, Sherry Hall, and Cindy Harvey. Thank you for your courtesy and for providing me with work space to review the transcript of the second trial.
I also must express my gratitude to Amherst Circuit Court clerk Roy C. Mayo III; fire chief George Tawes of Smith Mountain Lake Fire/Rescue; Bedford fire chief Brad Creasy; Will Crumpacker, my neighbor and a firefighter and EMT for the Bedford Fire Department; and Pete Fanning.
I owe a special debt to Shannon Jamieson Vazquez for her expert editorial guidance in molding the finished product you now hold in your hands.
As always, I feel deep appreciation to the agent who has made my whole career possible, the incredible Jane Dystel of Dystel & Goderich Literary Management.
Finally, this time Wayne surpassed even himself. Throughout the upheaval of our lives when we moved from Texas to Virginia, he remained my best friend, my foremost cheerleader, and the greatest guy Ive ever known. Thank you for giving me the space to stretch and grow.
M arcy Shepherd often took two weeks off from her job in the human resources department of Genworth Financial around Christmas, to spend time with her children and finish up her holiday preparations, and 2007 was no exception. On Sunday, December 16, 2007, the perky blonde went shopping with her friend and co-worker Jocelyn Earnest, and they made plans to get together again on the evening of Wednesday, December 19. Text messages bounced between the women throughout the day that Wednesday as Marcy ran errands, even briefly stopping at the Genworth offices to deliver popcorn that co-workers had purchased from her sons Cub Scout troop.
At home that evening, Marcy sat down with her eight-year-old son to watch SpongeBob SquarePants. Just before seven thirty, she received a text from Jocelyn asking if she was there. Marcy responded, Y. When she didnt hear back from Jocelyn, Marcy sent another message spelling out her answer more clearly, Yes, Im here. Still no reply from Jocelyn, which was unusual since she had answered every other text that day promptly. Marcy knew a momentary pause could have a lot of innocent explanations: another phone call, taking a shower, a temporary separation from her cell phone, whatever. At first, it was not cause for alarm.
When the television show ended, Marcy went upstairs with her son, made sure he brushed his teeth, read a story to him, and tucked him in for the night at eight thirty. She sent an email asking Jocelyn if her text messaging was not working. Jocelyn still remained silent.
Ten minutes later, Marcy left her son with her husband and drove to CVS, still waiting to hear from Jocelynstill expecting they would meet up that night. She sent another message to Jocelyn while she was in the store, before completing her purchases and leaving at 9:08 P.M.
Marcy was beginning to think that she might not see Jocelyn that evening after all. She had Jocelyns Christmas presentan enormous box of festive outdoor holiday lights wrapped in gold Santa Claus paperin her car, however, and not wanting to take the package home for fear its size would stir up her childrens heightened state of holiday excitability, Marcy decided to drop it off at the office instead.
