Linda added that even though there is no grave to visit, she is able to go to the memorial garden built at Danielle's school.

I had to remember things in detail, put myself in the place of a frightened child watching my mother being beaten by my father, an alcoholic thug and a coward. D’Souza also led the litagtion against Gawker Media involving the wrestler Hulk Hogan, which resulted in one of the largest invasion of privacy judgement in history. On the other hand, at the end of the day, however directly or indirectly, this is a book about the murder of a 15-year-old girl, and I don't want to be the kind of person who finds entertainment in that. He barely remembers Danielle who was a 10 year old bridesmaid at Stuart's wedding then disappeared as a 15 year old. What makes one child successful and the other a pedophile and killer when they both grew up in the same household?In 2001 a 15 year old girl, Danielle Jones, goes missing and the killer refuses to say where her body lies causing untold grief to her family. In this book, Campbell’s brother , Alix Sharkey, revisits his childhood, growing up side by side with Campbell, reflecting on childhood traumas that have certainly moulded both their adult lives, and discussing the many warning signs which came from Campbell’s behaviour and crimes over the years, but which in many instances, the author was not aware of at the time. In this book, Alix Sharkey examines the brothers' history, and what had been an unhappy, violent childhood. They both had the same start, but one brother would go on to commit crimes, culminating in one so terrible, and it would be within his own family. In this book, which covers a dual time line, the events of Danielle's disappearance and subsequent investigation and Stuart's childhood in an attempt to find out what makes a killer.

He is expected to be among the first “no body” killers to apply for parole with Helen’s Law in effect when his 20-year minimum term expires in November. While this theory could be spot-on, it follows the same logic he used in tossing out the theory of their childhood causing him to murder – why didn't EVERY boy from that school also go on to become pedophiles and child murderers? With the clock ticking, can he convince Stuart to do the right thing and give the victim’s family the closure and peace they’ve sought for so long? Part true crime biography, part memoir, My Brother the Killer examines the factors that shaped a bright and handsome little boy into a recidivist criminal, and eventually into one of Britain's most notorious killers. As someone who likes true crime, especially trying to understand how a killer becomes a killer, I found the story of their childhood, with an abusive father, an often enabling mother, and possible abuse at a school that was supposed to help, intriguing.In the later stages of the book, it seems to build momentum and moves along better, with past and present alternating more equally. I’d never actually heard of this case before, and I wonder if that’s because I was only 4 years old when it happened. I guess its expected and warranted to some extent, but I think he had a few missed opportunities to sit down and explain it to her. It certainly delivered in this regard; the book shows the authors evolving emotions from confusion, to disbelief, to anger, and then to understanding (the cause - his brother's own history of being abused) - whilst never reaching forgiveness and retaining contempt at the pain he put his victims family through. From being shot at, kidnapped and smuggled… this is a story of unbelievable resilience from two inspirational young girls.

I tend to agree with what I read and hear that without full disclosure of both guilt and the location where Danielle's body is to allow her parent the opportunity lay her to rest Stuart should not be given the luxury of parole. This isn’t a book about the author’s “brother the killer” per se but about how the author discovers his brother’s crimes, and reflects on his family at a kind of historical crossroads out of a gritty, industrial, and violent era into the modern technological era—Stuart’s crimes was one of the first where cellphone towers could triangulate the killers whereabouts.

And with the clock ticking towards his possible parole, can Stuart Campbell be convinced to reveal the location of Danielle’s remains? I felt quite let down by this story as it detailed too much about Alix then about Stuart and his crime. inch high explosive rockets on the enemy position that had been threatening the advancing forces, scoring a direct hit and silencing the opposition. It’s written by Alix Sharpley, his elder brother, and describes in great detail events such as their childhood and the murder charge itself.

Half of the things the author wrote about really didn't need to be included, and I swear he repeated a few things.The murder of Danielle is a very sad story, not just because of her age and the fact that her body has never been found, but also because Stuart Campbell was her uncle, someone who she should have been able to trust. Yet it was Alix’s kid brother Stuart—button-cute and fearless—who defended his siblings at home, at school and on the streets.
