I'm currently listening to Keith Ablow's - Inside the Mind of Scott Peterson as an MP3. Here is the promotional text:
I've read some of his other books, which although a good read, appear formulaic. In the Scott Peterson book, imo, he overuses metaphor. Describing Scott Peterson as a psychological cadaver then continues to repeat this using varying metaphors and similes which I found annoying.
The reason I'm mentioning this is that when Ablow is recounting Scott Peterson's mother's biography telling how, at the age of 2, she is placed in an orphanage run by Roman Catholic nuns called the Nazareth House.
Ablow describes this orphange as a cesspit of abuse. With female children being particularly at risk, the nuns would farm the girls out to male priests to accomplish tasks, but end up being abused. Then when this was discovered the girl would be sent for counselling to, yet another catholic priest, whereupon the abuse would continue.
Then Ablow mentions, it was not only the male priests who were abusive. The nuns were also abusive, who on occassion would digitally molest some of the girls.
That struck me, when I thought back to Coroner Meyer's verbatim remarks that there was evidence of sexual contact and digital penetration
I just wonder if, as many already suspect, there is more to Patsy's persona and her obsession with beauty pageants?

On the pageant front here is the latest outrage:

The highly publicized Scott Peterson murder case captivated a public hungry for the answer to one question: Why would a man with no known history of violent crime or mental illness and with a pretty wife about to give birth brutally murder her and his unborn son? Forensic psychiatrist Keith Ablow's national media appearances, including a groundbreaking interview on Oprah, resulted in enormous public response, saying that his theories about the spawning of a killer inside Peterson were the first that made sense to them. Members of Scott's and Laci's families have also stated that his comments were the first that helped them understand what might have happened inside Scott's mind. Inside the Mind of Scott Peterson takes readers into the psyche of a killer, exploring:
How Scott Peterson's empathy for others was shattered by a three-generation bloodline of childhood loss and abandonment. Why an addiction to sex took root in Peterson's psyche. Why Peterson's meeting Amber Frey while his wife was pregnant triggered the perfect psychological storm. Clues to Peterson's guilt in his interviews with Gloria Gomez and Diane Sawyer. What Peterson was probably thinking as he listened to testimony in court and received his death sentence. Why Peterson could kill again, if released
Using contacts at the FBI, and hiring private investigators and researchers, Keith Ablow delves deeply into Scott Peterson's life story to answer the question: How did an all-American boy turn into a ruthless killer?
I've read some of his other books, which although a good read, appear formulaic. In the Scott Peterson book, imo, he overuses metaphor. Describing Scott Peterson as a psychological cadaver then continues to repeat this using varying metaphors and similes which I found annoying.
