    Kathy Carol Bonney

    I remember thinking Tony Danza was a pretty good actor after all in this movie....sad story

    She was killed by her father, Tom Bonney, who claimed he did it while possessed by an alternate personality named "Hitman". She had quit school and had taken up with a married man, both of which had angered her father, who had developed a "Waltons" fantasy about his family. According to accounts of the case, Kathy's rebellious actions had destroyed this fantasy. His story to the police was that a man trying to sell a pick-up truck had given Kathy a test-drive and had never returned. In reality, Tom had driven his daughter just across the Virginia border into North Carolina, stopped by the side of the road, and shot her 27 times. After making the scene look like a sex crime, he left her in the Great Dismal Swamp Canal that ran alongside the shoulder of the road. The jury at his trial was not impressed with Tom's tales of multiple personalities and consequently sentenced him to death. However, that death sentence was later lifted from Tom Bonney and the court has declared him incapable of assisting in his own defense. This case was the subject of the book "Deadly Whispers" and the TV-movie of the same name, starring Tony Danza.

    She was so pretty. It's kind of sickening to think of Tony Danza playing that role. It makes it extra freaky.

    I seen the movie! It was great, but I've got to say it was hard seeing Tony play the part of such a monster. He did a great job though!

    Wow, Great Dismal Swamp. That just makes it extra creepy. Sounds like dad might have had a "thing" for his daughter and got jealous.

    Here's my letter

    Dear Tom:

    You suck and should burn in the deepest most fiery pits of hell while small demons poke you with spears.

    Sincerely,

    Someone who wants your head on a pike

    Quoth Tom, fearless avenger of outraged fathers everywhere (maybe they should send him to the Middle East):
    My mother passed away and was my last relative. I have been here for 12 years and she passed away and the prison said I could not go to the funeral in VA. Beach VA. So I just about went crazy and jumped into the trash compactor here and got my left arm and wrist broke and also dislocated my right shoulder...So now I am on solitary confinement and have been here for 5 1/2 years


    WHAT A WHINER!!!! Okay, I can understand his being P.O.'d at the stubborn daughter, if that was the truth, and I presume, her adulterous BF, but there WERE other ways to handle this, besides killing his kid and destroying what was left of his family.
    Good heavens, even a beat-down might have been atrocious, but at least she would likely still be alive and he might even have been out of prison by now.
    And making it look like a sex crime--- just... eeeewww.
    And now the state's taxpayers have to pay for his self-inflicted injuries.
    I wonder what his late mother really thought about her son murdering her grandchild, and, it seems, cancelling any hope of descendants.

    Warmbear, I love your avatar, and if that kitty has claws, maybe she could give him the hug he needs. Kitty would need to be disinfected afterwards....

    Good Lord, this old bastard is still alive?! He committed his crime nearly 25 years ago and he's still alive. What's with the expression on his face in that picture? He looks like he is trying to shit whole coconuts.

    I remember this story and his stupid defense. 27 times...I would say he was a little more then pissed off at her, way overkill. I just don't get the family killer...although yes I have some realitives I prefer not to see but I don't want to kill them...it's just beyond my reach to understand it at all. 27 times...think of how long that actually took....when probably the first few shots killed her....he should be on death row if any damn state has that anymore.
