Patricia Vann's family tree was filled with women who had started motherhood at an early age, and Pat followed in their footsteps, finding herself pregnant at the age of 15. She married her teenage boyfriend and left her childhood home, only to return a few years later with three children in tow. While many young mothers would have felt defeated af...
Over the course of a few years, Pat dated many men, but none struck her fancy—that is, until she met Tom Allanson. Tom was young, handsome, and came from a wealthy Georgia family. His father, Walter Allanson, was a prominent Georgia attorney. Tom was everything Pat had ever wanted, and she cared little that Tom was six years her junior and a marrie...

Despite Tom's insistence that he did not kill his parents, he was arrested and charged with two counts of homicide. Pat immediately retained the services of a local attorney...
Kentwood Farms, the name given to the property upon which Tara sat, was still heavily mortgaged. The debt was owed mostly to Tom’s paternal grandparents, who were lovingly referred to as Papaw and Nona. With Walter and Carolyn gone and their grandson in prison, the couple was a prime target for a gold-digging murderer. Putting on her best Scarlett-...
American prisons—being overcrowded as they are and filled with too many inmates with petty records—allow for murderers such as Pat to be released after a relatively short period of time. The Georgia Department of Corrections unleashed a narcissistic murderess on a society completely unaware of the evil slinking among them. In search of employment, ...
