I read What Lisa Knew: The Truth and Lies of the Steinberg Case, the one we were all reading as the case unfolded in court. It's not easy going but well worth your time.

In post 64, you identified the second person as 'Harry Potter'. It's even stranger, though, if you identify him by his real name, Daniel Radcliffe, since in that case the two actually share a first name.

The story of Lisa Steinberg was sad, but what was even sadder was that the woman who was supposed to 'protect' her didn't do that.I realize that Hedda Neusbaum was just as much as a victim as Lisa was, but she was an adult and she could have taken Lisa and her younger brother and walked out while Joel Steinberg was not at home.
Maybe she was afraid that the children would be taken from her because it was an illegal adoption, but I would rather have the children taken away and know that they were alive then live with the fact that I didn't do anything to save their lives and that I watched the daughter that I say I loved be murdered.

It was in one of his classes that I discovered true crime was an actual genre. The syllabus included both In Cold Blood and The Executioner's Song, among more than a few others. After taking that class I was off and running.
EDIT: Amazon lied. It said this book is newly-published, but the publication date on my copy when it arrived in the mail was 1987 -- a year after I took that true-crime class.

Number 78 is wrong. Ted Cruz totally looks like Eddy Munster.
That's not a very nice thing to say about Eddie Munster!
