When Girls Next Door Kill : The True Story of Cindy Collier & Shirley Wolf
“Today, Cindy and I ran away and killed an old lady. It was lots of fun†- Shirley Wolf's journal, June 14th, 1983. Shirley Wolf and Cindy Collier met in a juvenile detention center and had known each other for only a few hours when they decided to escape and randomly kill a stranger. They would go to a senior condominium center in Auburn, California where they would seek an elderly victim. They would find one in the eighty-five-year-old Anna Brackett. They entered her home under the ruse that they needed to use the phone to call their parents. The girls would brutally murder the elderly woman in a crime so shocking that deputy sheriffs were initially in denial that two young girls would commit such a crime. But how did they get to the point mentally where they could commit such a horrid act? This is the story of how they got there.
