This book is heartbreaking. I have been reading True Crime for 25 years and this one just made me incredibly sad. An innocent couple places an ad to sell thier luxury yacht. This couple was not rich by any means. He was a retired probation officer, she a home maker. They had just scrimped and saved for years to afford thier dream - live at sea. Once grandchildren entered the picture they decided to move back on land. This sociopath and his wife wanted the boat. They had no money. So he and some thugs lured the couple on a test drive of the boat, stun gunned them and forced them to sign a bill of sale for the boat along with a Power of Attorney which would give the killer access to all their financial assets. Then tied them to an anchor and threw them overboard. The thought of what this couple went through during the last minutes of their life is just almost to much to bear. I feel so sorry for thier families.
