Nanette Anne Maneckshaw Johnston Packard, the woman who stars in this true-crime reality, should be the spokesmodel for the greed and epidemic of materialism that have plagued our nation for years and have put so many into the throes of crippling debt. Well said.
Nanette Johnston Packard, a sexy divorcee, liked to meet men at the gym and through personal ads. A habitual liar, cheat and thief, this Supermom con artist was married three times and had four children.
Soon after she began dating multimillionaire entrepreneur Bill McLaughlin, he moved her and her kids into his bay-front home in Newport Beach.
But one man was never enough for Nanette.
Eric Naposki, her NFL linebacker lover, fulfilled Nanette's wilder cravings. Together they schemed to make her fiance's fortune their own.
The unthinkable happened on 15 December 1994. Just after 9pm, Bill's son, Kevin, heard a series of shots downstairs in their house in Newport Beach, California. When he got to the kitchen, he found his father lying on his side surrounded by a handful of bullet casings and a few dark red splotches of blood across the kitchen tiles. There was no sign of a gun or of the shooter. Authorities had suspicions but no proof.
Pulitzer-nominated writer Caitlin Rother explores this chilling and fascinating story of a cold (fraud-and-homicide) case which started in the mid-1990s and especially of a woman who seemed to have it all until justice finally had its day in 2008...
