Her babies were dying one by one, but who would believe a mother would murder her own child? In June 1986, police and Jersey County, Illinois came to the aid of Paula Sims, who alleged a masked intruder had kidnapped her baby girl. In April 1989, her second newborn daughter suffered an identical fate. As police searched for the whole, horrifying story, Paula Sims would eventually find herself in front of a jury of her peers forced to confront the terrible truth of this unique and disturbing case. Precious Victims is a tale of twisted sexuality and hate seething below the surface of a seemingly normal family, and an engrossing account of a huge police investigation and nerve-shattering trial. Written by the lawyer who won the case, and the reporter who covered it from its shocking start to its nail-biting climax, Precious Victims is a dark journey into the heart of a depraved family with a murderous secret.
