Response to previous comment

Just wanted to comment on the earlier post regarding this being a true story. This IS a true story, based on the book Open Secrets by Carlton Stowers. It took place in Dallas in the late 80's with Cybil's character finally being arrested in 1994. I know this because Carlton is actually a cousin of mine, and he writes ONLY true crime stories. Some of his other true crime books are

Careless Whispers; True Lies; Sins of the Son; Scream at the Sky

They are all true stories and they all take place in and around Texas. They are all written in a style that resembles a fiction story even though they are all true stories. I highly recommend them for reading.
