One reader said of Who Killed Stephanie Crowe: Anatomy of a Murder
Investigation, “In response to your comment "Trust me...nobody is that sleepy not to hear a family
member walking in late at night." First of all, that is an extremely ignorant thing to claim, I would say that it happens
all the time! Are you entirely unfamiliar with the concept of kids sneaking out at night? But more to the point, based on
your assertion, I suppose that means that you find it much more likely that a man was able to come in through a noisy glass
door and vertical blinds a foot away from the parents' heads, proceed to walk around their bed and go through their bedroom
door allowing ambient light to shine right into their eyes, go to Stephanie's room and brutally stab her nine times, then
walk back through that same route and back through the vertical blinds and the noisy glass door without anyone waking up?
That seems a bit more ridiculous than the idea of someone being so sleepy that they didn't hear a family member walking
in (the front door!) that late at night, doesn't it?
One other thing is that you also assert that "Aaron said that he would have
slashed Stephanie's throat and stabbed her in the chest even though the wounds on Stephanie's body were on her back
and no neck wound was found". Well in response to this erroneous information, I would just like to point out that she
had three wounds to the head, two wounds to the NECK, three wounds to the right shoulder, and one wound to the left anterior
chest. This is all just to point out one clue among several that you did not pay as close of attention to the details of this
case or the book as you would like to portray that you did.
This is really a thought-provoking
book with a lot of insight that really needed to be pointed out. So I hope that potential readers will not let this Matthew
person's (or anyone else's) ignorance keep you from reading this book. If you have an open mind going into it, I think
you will see that the evidence does indeed show differently than what was ruled in court.”
