Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Brian who was the youngest was never mentally stable. He killed his parents at the age of 22 and turned himself into the police. His father was always angry and mother could be nice at times but also had a dark side. She disliked taking care of the children with no help from her husband this book was both chilling and well written.

Interesting book. Seems to me that the family and children slipped thru the cracks way before the murder even happened. Feel sorry for the whole lot of them in some ways.
Thanks to author, publisher and NetGalley for the chance to read this book. While I got the book for free, it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.

I received an advance copy of, Couple Found Slain, by Mikita Brottman. This is a very well written book on a delicate subject. Murdering your parents, where do go from there?

This was amazing from the beginning and a true story at that sign me the neck up!
The writing was great. The author really knows how to draw you in and capture your attention.
The story was unbelievable. Like wow. Simply amazing.

Wow. This was a very interesting read of what happens when a murderer is found not guilty by reason of insanity. Very interesting read.

What happens to a murderer after they are found not not guilty because of mental illness? Brottman explores the both the aftermath and the events leading up to the slaying of 22 year old Brian Bechtold’s parents in Maryland in 1992. Bechtold turned himself in at a Florida police station where he admitted to killing his parents because the devil told him to. Committed to a secure psychiatric facility, Becthold has been far from the ideal patient/prisoner, trying to escape, being shot by the police and witnessing multiple patient homicides in his 27 years in the ward. He’s also seen some of the very worst remedies our psychiatric hospitals dole out. A fascinating portrayal of the failing mental health system in the United States
