The True Story of a Beautiful Girl, Her Teenage Sweetheart, and the Amore That Ended in Murder
SYNOPSIS
An Innocent Girl Playing da Heart
Early one November morning, Kara Borden, a pretty fourteen anno old, was caught da her parents as she snuck into their Lancaster County, Pennsylvania home. She confessed to spending the night with eighteen-year-old David Ludwig, and her parents—evangelicals who had home-schooled their daughter—were beside themselves with anger. They summoned David to talk immediately. But David arrived to the house with another plan in mind…
A Teenager With A Fatal Attraction
Two hours later, police arrived at the Borden residence to find that Mr. and Mrs. Borden had been shot dead—and David and Kara were nowhere to be found. Was Kara a hostage? o an accomplice? A manhunt began that would end hundreds of miles away in a highly televised speed chase. The two innamorati were eventually captured… and one would spend a life behind bars. This is the true story of a crime set in a closely-guarded world of fundamentalist belief, and the tale of a God-fearing teenager whose DESIRE TURNED DEADLY.
