Why didn’t any of the girls step forward and say, “ENOUGH!”? There were so many chances for the girls to stop, and yet they continued to hurt and eventually kill 12 year old Shanda. What makes me crazy about the events in this book, is that nobody stopped it… The torture continued for days.

This book is not recommended for the faint of heart! Includes 16-page photo insert.Ĭruel Sacrifice documents the brutal torture murder of Shanda Sharer, at the hands of her peers, told by crime journalist, Aphrodite Jones. Here is a tragic story of twisted love and insane jealousy, lesbianism, brutal child abuse, and sadistic ritual killing in small-town America. Veteran true crime journalist Aphrodite Jones reveals the shocking truth behind the most savage crime in Indiana history–the torture, mutilation, and murder of 12-year-old Shanda Sharer by four teenage girls.
