The acclaimed true crime author of Lobster Boy chronicles the brutal
acts and eventual capture of two cannibalistic killers on Florida's Gulf
Coast.
Jeremiah Rodgers and Jonathan Lawrence met in a Florida hospital for the
criminally insane, where both had been serving time for petty crimes.
Upon their release, they traveled to Lawrence's hometown of Milton,
Florida, where they murdered Justin Livingston, Lawrence's mentally
challenged cousin. Their deadly spree continued when they viciously
raped and shot 18-year-old Jennifer Robinson and then cannibalized her
body.
Author Fred Rosen reports on how Detective Todd Hand solved the case and
brought justice to the victims' families. Hand had his work cut out for
him as there was no clear motive behind these heinous crimes, but during
questioning he caught the 2 killers in a lie about Justin Livingston's
whereabouts, which led to their arrests. Rodgers and Lawrence now reside
on Florida's death row.
