The story you are about to read was adapted from my days as a news reporter for the Los Angeles Times.
Sadly, the characters in this story are real. In most cases, the dialogue and events are real. Some scenes have been re-created to better tell the story. Always, the chapters were difficult to write, a very real look at the darker side of life.
Missys Murder was the first of four true-crime books I wrote at the beginning of my career as an author. It allowed me to be home with my daughter, Kelsey, who was just an infant when I covered the trial.
I wrote three more, Final Vows, Deadly Pretender, and Snake and the Spider. After that, I decided I couldnt write another. Id explored enough of the dark side.
All of my novels since then contain characters with serious trials and troubles, but they are written in context of the faith, light, and hope that I believe exists for us allincluding the characters in this book. God Bless!

the greatest basketball coach in the world,

even amidst deadlines.

Several people played a part in putting this book together. First, I would like to thank editorial assistant Mary Russell, whose research abilities are phenomenal and who was able to put her life on hold while she investigated parts of this book. And editorial assistant Debbie Salamone, whose reporting abilities were a great help to me in the final months.
Also, thanks to Richard and Janice Leebrick, Sandra Leebrick, and Jodee Bowen for helping me feel as if I personally knew Jayne Miller.
I would like to thank my husband, Donald, for providing a little levity and helping me in a variety of ways when it came to crunch time. There is no one Id rather watch Cosby with. I love you always!
And to my parents, who continue to provide feedback and enthusiasm for my work. I love you both.
A special thanks to Amber Santiago, Carrie Foster, Sue Birkins, the preschool staff, and especially Cheri Brune, who provided loving care for my children so I could write.
Finally, I would like to thank my editors, Tony Gangi and Mitch Horowitz, for believing in my work and for being editorial geniuses. It is a privilege to work with you. Also a thanks to Leslie Schnur and Arthur Pine for giving me a chance three years ago.
(1994)
The events described in this book are taken directly from court transcripts and other public records and documents, as well as from numerous interviews with the many people involved. However, in many instances, to better communicate the story and the atmosphere surrounding the events, incidents and dialogue were dramatically recreated based on court testimony and other public records, and on interviews with various participants or other knowledgeable individuals.
Tom and Merritt Foster; Jaynes son, Dillon; Jake; and the names of several minor characters are all pseudonyms. The author has chosen to change these names and disguise the identities of certain of the people involved in this story. This has been done to preserve privacy. Any similarity between the fictitious names used and those of living persons is, of course, entirely coincidental.
TILL DEATH DO US PART
NO ONE SAW THE REAL DAVID MILLER. THE FABULOUS LIAR. THE THRILL-SEEKER. THE KILLER.
UNTIL NOW
DOROTHY GAROFALO MILIAR.. . From the moment David pulled up in a limousine outside her chic beauty salon, she was madly in love with the man who said he worked for the CIA.
BRANDI GAROFALO.. . After David Miller walked into her mothers life, the nine-year-old didnt trust him, but no one would believe her warnings, not even her mother.
JAYNE LEEBRICK MILIJLR.. . Married and divorced before she met David, she quickly wed the gentle attorney who promised her paradise but brought nothing but lies, deceit, and death.
BOB BROWN... An experienced private investigator, he uncovered the evidence that told Jayne her husband was a bigamist, a con artist, and a very dangerous man.
RICHARD LEEBRICK He warned his daughter there was something phony about her husband, yet she refused to listen when he told her he feared for her life.
Jayne Marie Miller learned that her husband was a bigamist on September 11, 1991. The oppressive Florida heat and dense humidity that afternoon was typical of the late summer days that caused people to wonder whether relief would ever come.
But a few days later on the morning of September 15, as Jayne drove toward her parents home in nearby Sanford, weather conditions were the farthest thing from her mind. She made the drive five minutes faster than usual, parked her car in a swift, jerky fashion, and marched angrily up the walkway.
Ive had it, she announced as she entered the house. Im moving back to Los Angeles. Its over between David and me.
As Richard Leebrick walked tentatively into the room his eyes fell on his second-oldest daughter. Sometimes seeing Jayne made him remember how much he had aged in the past few years. Not that Jayne looked old. In fact, she was quite pretty, five-foot-three with bleached blond hair and sparkling brown eyes.
But she had turned thirty-three that year and the personal troubles shed experienced in the past few years were beginning to show in the handful of extra pounds she carried and the tiny lines that had appeared around her mouth and eyes.
Life had not been kind to Jayne. Richard wished he could ease the pain that started when Jaynes first marriage ended in divorce years earlier, leaving Jayne with a son.
