(you may have seen him on Investigation Discovery lately... Dark Minds, anyone?)
Evil women are more common than you'd imagine, but none so evil as Jessica Inez Callis Bates McCord-who somehow got her police officer husband, Jeff McCord, involved in a double murder that devastated several families.
Alan and Terra Bates probably thought they'd seen the worst of Jessica, Alan's ex-wife, but they were fatally mistaken."... The reason for the bullet found in the garage was simple, Jessica explained. Jeff had misfired his gun in the house. After a complete search, however, neither she nor Jeff could find the bullet. She claimed all that talk about her saying she wanted Alan killed was a misinterpretation of the facts. Didn't matter that three witnesses--none of whom knew each other--had testified that Jessica had said Alan would pay for what he was doing and needed to be killed..."
Author Harry N. MacLean sums it up: "A chilling tale of a sociopathic wife and mother willing to sacrifice all those around her to satisfy her boundless narcissism..."
No one can put it any better than that. It's a quick read--'cause it's hard to put down.
