An Alabama True Crime Biography of Marie Hilley, Arsenic Poisoning, and Escaped Fugitives

In 1979 in Anniston, Alabama, Audrey Marie Hilley poisoned her husband Frank Hilley with lethal doses of arsenic and attempted to murder her daughter Carol for insurance payouts. Released on bail, Marie fled Alabama, faked her own death, assumed the identity of Robbi Hannon, and married in New Hampshire before her arrest by FBI agents.

Journalist Philip E. Ginsburg reconstructs the forensic toxicology, the multi-state fugitive hunt, and the 1983 trial that convicted Hilley.

Why You’ll Love This Book
