A Domestic True Crime Narrative of Dr. Kenneth Taylor, Murder in Mexico, and a Bitter Custody Battle

In 1984, prominent New Jersey dentist Dr. Kenneth Taylor brutally beat his wife, Teresa Benigno Taylor, to death while the couple was vacationing in Acapulco, Mexico. Managing to avoid Mexican prison, Taylor returned to the United States and left their infant son, Phillip, in the care of his parents in Indiana.

Author Peter Maas documents the grueling legal aftermath as Teresa's Staten Island family, the Benignos, fought to prove Taylor's guilt and rescue their grandson from the murderer's family. The narrative follows the prolonged interstate custody battle, exposing Taylor's hidden history of domestic violence, psychological manipulation, and marital deceit.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Peter Maas delivers a harrowing true crime account focused on the legal and emotional fallout of domestic homicide. Highlighting forensic investigation and family court battles, this classic non-fiction narrative appeals to readers of Ann Rule, Joe McGinniss, and Darcy O'Brien.
