DESCRIPTION:
The shocking true story of murder on Colorado's Snipe Mountain. But District Attorney Frank Daniels suspected Dodson's wife-and would stop at nothing to prove his suspicions before another man suffered the same fate.. Struck by three rifle bullets, newlywed John Bruce Dodson supposedly died in a hunting accident
He concluded that Janice, with or without the help of her ex-husband, who was hunting in the same area, killed Dodson in order to inherit an estate valued at half a million dollars. The enormous amount of sometimes confusing detail Daniels presents did convince the jury of Janice's guilt, but does little to enliven this tawdry tale.Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc. An experienced hunter, Janice was taking her husband on his first trip to shoot deer and elk. From Publishers Weekly In 1995, the body of Dodson was discovered by Janice, his wife of three months, lying dead near their c
A Customer said Incredible true story. There have been stories like this before, but they are very rare, and incredible when told. It is the tale of a black widow murderess who kills her husband for financial gain. Often stories of this ilk rise to national consciousness because it's so astonishing when a woman kills in such a cold-blooded manner. Usually the MO is poison, but not so for Janice Dodson the central character in this murder. She shot her husband on Snipe Mountain in the Colorado wilderness with a high powered hunting rifle, dead center in the chest.What makes this story so intriguing is the perspective from which it is told. The author is th. "Exciting and Fascinating Read" according to A Customer. This book gave me insight to the details of a killer's mind. Janice is someone who could walk amongst us on any given day yet her greed made her take that extra step into evil that most of us are able to resist. The description of the gathering of evidence and of putting a case together so that Janice would not get away with this murder is presented in an organized and exciting way. I highly recommend this book to everyone from those unfamiliar with the investigation and court system to the trial lawyers.. INTRIGUE, SUSPENSE AND JUSTICE A Customer My husband and I both enjoyed reading this book. Having been to the Uncompahgre Plateau several times, and having lived and worked in the same area that the main characters in the book lived and worked, it brought the entire story to life for us. We remember when it happened, although we knew none of the characters in the book. It is very well written, easy to follow, and although detailed about firearms, Mr. Daniels wrote an easy book to read. I highly recommend the book.
