Westley Allan Dodd

In 1990, nine boxes of corrosive, criminal evidence travel from the courtroom of Westley Allan Dodd's execution sentencing to the warehouse for the Washington State Archives in Olympia. They harbor a bizarre secret that could unravel the mystery of Dodd's murderous motive, heretofore, recognized by most as simply, "Evil." The trial is gruesome in its details, leaving psychologically savaged Jurors beyond the healing of counseling. The boxes remain untouched for 20 years, too loathsome to resurrect, or, reconstruct. The author, as a Forensic Psychology graduate student working on his Master's Degree, is informed that he is the first to request them. Could the Victorian-Renaissance reproductions in Dodd's collection of child erotica hold the skeleton key to the inspiration for Dodd's brutal desire to have sex with the dead bodies of children? What role did the Angels play? "What are young angels, if not dead children, returned to life?" (Green, T, 2011)
