Richard Daniel Starrett was the dangerous visitor for too many young women in Georgia and South Carolina in the late 1980's. Answering (for sale) ads in the classifieds, he was a buyer hunting for victims,not bargins, and he paid in grim coin: rape, murder and kidnapping. This story is the potrait of a diseased mind and the moving story of a loving family's emotional nightmare and painful disintegration.
