This is the story of Annette Morales Rodriguez, a hard-working
single mother of three.
It is also the story of Lara, a psychopathic killer who abducted
another woman s fetus, killing both mother and baby.
Unbeknownst to Annette, Lara is a part of her: a dissociative
identity, or split personality, formed to help Annette deal with
the sexual abuse she endured as a child. Highly protective and
driven to act solely in Annette s interests with no regard for the
consequences to others, Lara lacks the moral judgment and remorse
of a fully-developed personality. It is she who saw Annette s
desire for and inability to have another baby and plotted to cut
one from another woman s belly to give to her.
Lara confessed in gruesome detail. Annette, entirely amnesic
throughout the course of events, has no recollection of the
behavior Lara carried out. Dr. Anne Speckhard s jail interviews
with Annette and Lara offer a fascinating glimpse inside a woman
torn in two. Dr. Speckhard s analysis of Annette s behavior and her
treatment once in police custody beg the questions: How do you
separate the guilty from the innocent when they share the same
body? and When is it acceptable to violate one s rights in the
interest of public safety? Annette s story brings Dissociative
Identity Disorder and the shortcomings of the American justice
system to shocking light.
