The true story of a beautiful violin prodigy, her devoted
boyfriend, and the family secrets that led to a brutal
murder  Joyce Aparo seemed to be the perfect single
mother. She doted on her sixteen-year-old daughter, Karin,
encouraging her musical ability and lavishing affection on her. But
behind closed doors, Joyce was a terror. For thirteen years, she
beat Karin savagely, kept her away from other children, and
demeaned her relentlessly. When Karin met the troubled yet
brilliant Dennis Coleman, the two fell head-over-heels into lustful
infatuation. But Joyce disapproved—so she had to die. On August
5, 1987, Joyce’s body was found under a bridge near the
Connecticut–Massachusetts border. The police investigation soon
dragged her horrific treatment of Karin into the open, and the
teenage lovers became the prime suspects. Dennis eventually
confessed to the murder, testifying that Karin begged him to kill
her mother. But Karin had a very different story to tell. Was she
manipulating the police the same way she manipulated her former
boyfriend, or was she an innocent victim? Â
