The Demon of Murder

Michael and Christine Taylor had five children and were living Ossett, West Yorkshire in 1974.

The Charming Mrs. Lyles

Anjette Lyles was known for her charming and flirtatious personality just as much as she was for her deep-fried bacon balls that she served at her very popular Georgia restaurant.
