description: Regina Hartwell:She was a cocaine queen and a rich lesbian princess. She fell hard for gorgeous 18-year-old Kim LeBlanc. Kim fell hard for the drugs, and Regina's expensive gifts.Justin Thomas:Kim's drug-dealing lover had the complete package: six-foot-four and buff. Inside, he was pure killer.Kim LeBlanc:She was the prize that drove them both crazy - with love, jealousy, and desire. But the former cheerleader was also a darkly disturbed addict who helped cover up Regina's murder. On a hot humid day in Austin, Texas, Justin Thomas walked into Regina Hartwell's apartment. Wasted from her crash-and-burn life, Regina still had the power to fight back when Justin took out his knife. Thirty minutes later, with the blade stuck deep in her neck, Regina lay drowned in her own blood. Justin then rolled her lifeless body in a comforter and took her to the Texas countryside in her jeep Sahara. There, he set her on fire, while a cocaine-dazed Kim waited in her own jeep. Days later, on tips from Regina's friends, authorities tracked down the couple. The rest would be up to the law. This is a true story of a triangle from hell: of a yearning for friendship and love that turned into a fatal, vile obsession, and how one Texas jury faced the difficult task of separating innocence - from guilt....Includes 12 pages of shocking photos!
