Читать книгу No One Can Hurt Him Anymore - Scott Cupp - Страница 5

Acknowledgments

First of all, I would like to thank my editor of Hometown Killer, Gary Goldstein, for recommending me to Miles Lott, the editor of “No One Can Hurt Him Anymore”—and for his confidence in me—making it possible for me to be a part of this project.

And Scott Cupp—not only for being a joy to work with but, more important, for everything he’s done in his career to bring justice to those who would do harm to the youngest and most vulnerable in our society.

My love and gratitude to my children—Jeanne, David, and Dana. Once again, I had their unwavering support, love, and encouragement.

And, as always, my love to my granddaughters—Mallory, Chelsea, Miranda, and Sarah. My hope is that they will know that their dreams can come true.

Most of all, I want to thank with all my heart F. Peter “Pete” Dixon, retired homicide prosecutor, for supporting me, encouraging me, and loving me through this difficult project. If it hadn’t been for his guidance and honesty, I don’t know if I would have made it. He is truly The Wind Beneath My Wings.

—Carol J. Rothgeb

To my brother, George, the smartest and bravest man I know.

For my children—Kaitlin, Elizabeth, and Scotty—and the wonderful future that awaits them.

I want to specifically acknowledge three people: Judge Joe Marx, without whom the cases would never have been won; State Attorney Barry Krischer, who supported me before the filing of the charges, during the time it took to get the cases tried, and has supported me as this book made its way to print. This case is also a testament to the fine police work of the men and women of the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, which was exemplified by the hard work, dedication, and persistence of lead detective Michael Waites.
