David’s father Duvall West didn’t care much for his wife or her holier-than-thou attitude but opted for mental absenteeism rather than save his son from the clutches of his mother.
Two books have been written about the murders of James and Virginia Campbell: Cold Kill: The True Story of a Murderous Love by Jack Olsen in 1987 and Daddy's Girl: The Campbell Murder Case by Clifford Irving in 1990.#N#I've read both books and found Jack Olsen's recounting much more interesting as the details were many, complete with thorough histories of all major players in this drama; whereas Irving's book was simply a repeat of the information provided in the aforementioned book with a dash of sympathy for Cindy Ray that gets a tad annoying at times.
