A Fatal Lie
A True Story of Betrayal and Murder in the New South
Sally Chew
A lesbian love triangle explodes into bloody murder….Richmond, Virginia, July 1997. A brick row-house in the city”s gay Carytown district, home of 18-year-old Kelley ‘Turtle’ Tibbs, legendary ringleader of the teenage lesbian scene. Walk inside and you”d be likely to find Melissa Etheridge blasting on the stereo, lots of beer, a clutch of shaven-headed young women– and Turtle”s tall possessive girlfriend, Tracy Bitner.Enter 18-year-old Stacey Hanna, a new roommate who moved east from Lynchburg and, from the beginning, openly carried a torch for Turtle. Stacey”s attempts to drive a wedge between Turtle and Tracy backfired– badly. And one night, Turtle, Tracy and two friends literally dragged Stacey to a wooded area and kicked, slashed, and stabbed her to death in a scene straight out of a horror movie.Was this a crime of passion– a frenzy of the heart? Was it calculated retribution for disrupting a bond between two lovers? Or was it, as one of the girls told a detective, ‘just one of those times….when somebody had to die?’ Learn the fascinating truth in a riveting story of obsession, betrayal, and murder….
