Saving Stacy: The Untold Story of the Moody Massacre Book by Rob St. Clair

 

Bellefontaine, Ohio is a small little town and everyone knows everyone. Logon County has a bit of a problem with some officers in their police force. Corruption seems to be high. On, May 25, 2005, a massacre  occurred leaving six dead and one sole survivor. Stacy was shot in the face twice and let to die but she survived. Her brother, Scott was quickly and without much investigation named the murderer and the case was considered a murder/suicide case. 

When fifteen-year-old, Stacy wakes up her memory of the incident doesn't line up with what the police are saying. She is adamant it wasn't her brother and that it was an older
man with gray hair, wearing a blue shirt. Evidence doesn't match up that, people are being tight lipped. No one wants to talk. There is underage sex, drugs and corruption and so many questions. Is Scott innocent, if he a victim and did someone else commit the murders?

There is a lot of information in this book that leads me to believe Scott did not commit the massacre or suicide. I think they police department knows this but they are either protecting their own or don't want to admit they made an incorrect judgment. The list of inconsistencies is long, the way Stacy is interviewed and treated is unethical. 

The reading can can dry at times just because there are a lot of details and things can be repetitive but I find this to be quite common in these types of books. If you are a True Crime fan and haven't heard of this case, I strongly recommend this book.
