Unholy Sacrifice

This story is bizarre and what's truly scary is I know Dawn Godman. I was roommates with her, it was of course an unusual situation. I was in Jail, Not for anything serious of course. Anyhow I was aware of who she was and when they put me in her room I just almost died! She doesn't talk much or smile much. She always was playing cards with the other girls who were "Lifer's" and "High Profile" case Gals. I never dared ask her about what she had done, or why. I was so freaked out I asked to be transfered out of her room. Luckly I was home in 2 days. It was an experience I will never forget. I bought this book cause it is just too shocking to believe. Another strange coincidence is that if you readthe book you will see that Dawn Godman Used a wheelchair to roll into Kmart to buy the saw with Mrs. Steinman's Credit card. That wheelchair was bought from my Dad's work Bacon East Pharmacy.

I give the book 3.5 stars. The writing is pedestrian. Bland death scenes (and these are victims who were bludgeonedz; and/or shot; and/or chopped into bits.) Still, the reporting is objective and the overall story is interesting enough to where I'd recommend this book to anyone interested in 'cult' crimes.

I have just started Robert Scott's latest book Unholy Sacrifice. I have several of Scott's books, although I have enjoyed his previous books as well, I find this one captivating. Maybe it's because I can identify with the characters more. I anticipate that this book will be received very well, maybe even a top best seller!

I was surprised when I discovered this case had taken place in central California and southern California had not heard a word about it. It was overshadowed by the Scott Peterson case... Horrific tale of a brother and his Manson-like influence over his brother and everyone he came in contact with - tale of an ex-Dean Witter stockbroker who used his prior connections to seek out victims for his dastardly plan...

Unholy Sacrifice tells the story of the Helzer brothers and their crimes from start to finish. It gets into the mindset of Taylor Helzer and his crazy idea that he was a prophet of God. It also tells in detail about his murder victims and the detectives and lawyers as well. It's a well written book. Dan
