      By Murnick, Carolyn
       2017., General, Simon & Schuster Call No: Bio M972h   Edition: First Simon & Schuster hardcover edition.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "A gripping memoir of two childhood best friends who diverge as young adults. One woman is brutally murdered and the other is determined to uncover the truth about her wild and seductive friend. As girls growing up in rural New Jersey in the late 1980s, Ashley Ellerin and Carolyn Murnick had everything in common: two outsiders who loved spending afternoons exploring the woods. Only when the girls attended different high schools did they begin to grow apart. While Carolyn struggled to fit in, Ashley quickly became a hot girl: popular, extroverted, and sexually precocious. After high school, Carolyn entered college in New York City and Ashley ended up in Los Angeles, where she quit school to work as a stripper and an escort, dating actors and older men, and experimenting with drugs. The last time Ashley visited New York, Carolyn was shocked by how the two friends had grown apart. One year later, Ashley was stabbed to death at age twenty-two in her Hollywood home. The man who may have murdered Ashley, an alleged serial killer, now faces trial in Los Angeles. Carolyn Murnick traveled across the country to cover the case and learn more about her magnetic and tragic friend. Part coming-of-age story, part true-crime mystery, a behind-the-scenes look at the drama of a trial and the poignancy of searching for the truth about a friend's truly horrifying murder."--Provided by publisher.

      -- Trial of Dennis Oland
      By MacKinnon, Bobbi-Jean
       2016., General, Goose Lane Editions Call No: 364.152    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: "On July 6, 2011, Richard Oland, scion of the Moosehead brewing family, was murdered in his office. The brutal killing stunned the city of Saint John, and news of the crime reverberated across the country. In a shocking turn and after a two-and-half-year police investigation, Oland's only son, Dennis, was arrested for second-degree murder. CBC reporter Bobbi-Jean MacKinnon covered the Oland case from the beginning. She examines the controversial investigation: from the day Richard Oland's battered body was discovered to the conclusion of Dennis Oland's trial, including the hotly debated verdict and its aftermath. Meticulously examining the evidence, MacKinnon vividly reconstructs the cases for both the prosecution and the defence. She delves into Oland family history, exploring the strained relationships, infidelities, and financial problems that, according to the Crown, provided motives for murder. A revealing look at a sensational crime, the tribulations of a prominent family, and the inner workings of the justice system that led to Dennis Oland's contentious conviction. Bobbi-Jean MacKinnon is a reporter and web editor for CBC News."--Provided by publisher.
