Crime Candy

On the night of August 31, 1986, 65-Year-old William Delton Frost and his 60-year-old invalid wife, Callie was fatally shot in their two-room home in Downsville, Louisiana.

The front door had been smashed in and police believed the motive was robbery because Frost didn’t trust banks and was believed to keep his cash in a suitcase in the home. The shots appeared to have been fired through a window. Their bodies were discovered 2 days later.

Without exception, each man who saw the lifeless body of Betty Gore on the night of June 13th reflexively averted their eyes. Even those who already knew what lay beyond the utility room were never bold enough to look more than a moment before closing the door.

It happened on the church volleyball court, on a late-summer day in 1978. Candy and Allan both tried to make a play on the same ball—and collided. It was a harmless bump, really, and went unnoticed by everyone else on the court, but for Candy, it brought a revelation: Allan Gore smelled sexy. For several weeks she had been talking abstractly to friends about having an affair.

Candy wanted something to shake up her “very boring” life with Pat. She was explicit about the kind of affair she was interested in transcendent sex. As she put it, “I want fireworks.”
