Dead Family Walking: The Bourque Family Story of Dead Man Walking

A "true account" of what Dead Man Walking did not tell and did not want you to know.On November 5, 1977, the Bourque's teenage daughter was found murdered in a trash pile near the city of New Iberia, Louisiana, lying side by side near her boyfriend – with three well-placed bullet holes behind each head. No apparent motive. Very few clues.While the devout Catholic family fought to piece their lives back together after the capture and trials of the killers of their daughter, they suddenly faced an unexpected opponent who would use their story in a religious-political spin that would take the world by surprise.Dead Family Walking sheds the truth about the life of the murder-rapist buried next to bishops, priests and nuns on sacred ground in a Baton Rouge cemetery and details of his forbidden death row intimacy no one was supposed to know about.
