Restaurant manager Lisa Kimmel had been driving for hours to visit her family in Montana. She never arrived. Eight days later, her body was found floating in the North Platte River. The police knew Lisa had been tortured and raped for a week before she was finally murdered. But they had no suspects, no witnesses, no clues. Just a strange handwritten letter left on her gravestone...Lisa's murder was never solved - and her car never found - until new DNA technology led police to Dale Wayne Eaton. Fifteen years had passed since Eaton kidnapped his unlucky victim at a Wyoming rest stop. But now police had forensic evidence, handwriting samples, and most incredibly: Lisa's car buried in the killer's yard. Eaton's capture shed horrifying new light on a series of unsolved disappearances. Were they the work of a serial killer? Dale Wayne Eaton's trial revealed a twisted loner driven by dark appetites - a monster without remorse.

Ugh. Another Flop from Robert Scott,
By
This review is from: Rivers of Blood (Paperback)
Lisa Marie Kimmell was a young, carefree yet ambitious eighteen-year-old when she set out from Denver, Colorado for Cody, Wyoming on her own.
But there was danger lurking in the shadows. And it had a name: Dale Wayne Eaton. For six days, Eaton brutally raped and tortured Lisa and then killed her; tossing her body off a bridge on a lonely, deserted road. It would take investigators fourteen years and the advancement of DNA technology to catch him. But how many women would be Eaton's victims during that time? It's a question that may never be answered. Yet it is one discussed in Robert Scott's latest release Rivers of Blood. At one time I was a loyal reader of Robert Scott, but his last few books have left a lot to be desired. Yet, I continue to read his work just hoping for a resurrection of his old style. And again I'm disappointed. Scott seems to have trouble in the beginning getting his bearings and launching Lisa's story, as is evident by repetition of facts; so much so that I felt like I was reading the same page again and again. Not to mention the tossed salad of gossip and behind-the-scenes politcal cat-fighting that had no bearing on Lisa Kimmell's case. As the book continues, there is a lessening of the repetition (and ill-placed gossip) and an interesting story is relayed. Then comes the trial... Mundane. Boring. And the break-down of the appellate Court's decision: a real snooze fest full of technicality challenges. What I did very much enjoy, however, was Scott's ability to make me feel as if I had gotten to know Lisa's parents, Ron and Sheila, personally; and, in turn, invoke deep sympathy for this couple who still grieves deeply for their daughter. Would I recommend Rivers of Blood? Yes, I would. I realize that not everyone is as apathetic to Court room proceedings as I am, and Lisa's story - especially that of her parents - is one that bears reading. (Readers may also wish to read Sheila Kimmell's book (The Murder Of Lil Miss) published in 2005, that offers a first person, up close and personal view about this case titled The Murder of Lil Miss.)

Good material + Bad writing style = A dull book,
This review is from: Rivers of Blood (Paperback)
- It has 16 pages of photos of the victims, the killer, the crime scenes and the policemen involved.
- The story sounds interesting at first. A beautiful, 18-year-old girl disappeared with her car. The investigator found the car 14 years later buried 8 feet deep in the ground! They also found that the killer had killed at least 6 women in total. However the writing style makes it a dull book.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Lil Miss Case,
This review is from: Rivers of Blood (Paperback)
The book covers a lot about Dale Eaton and his murder of Lil Miss - Lisa Kimmell. And it also tells about Eaton's other crimes. It really gets into his background and why he became the way he did.
