An Illinois True Crime Investigation of Paula Sims, Infanticide, and Forensic Prosecution

In Jersey County and Alton, Illinois, Paula Sims reported two identical abductions of her newborn daughters—thirteen-day-old Loralei in 1986 and six-week-old Heather in 1989—claiming masked gunmen kidnapped the infants from her home.

Co-written by Madison County Prosecutor Don W. Weber and journalist Charles Bosworth Jr., this account details the forensic investigation that exposed Sims's fabrications. The narrative follows the discovery of Heather's body in a trash receptacle, forensic trash-bag matching, and the 1990 trial that convicted Paula Sims of murder.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Don W. Weber and Charles Bosworth Jr. deliver a compelling prosecution study of forensic evidence and maternal homicide. Essential reading for fans of Ann Rule, Ken Englade, and Carlton Stowers.
