When a man is murdered with the heel of a stiletto, it makes
international news. Sure we have all seen this in a movie or
joked with your girlfriends about how deadly the heels look.
But no one actually expected it to happen. Not in the real
world could someone be beat to death with a stiletto. Stefan
Andersson was, he was a quite, intelligent scientist that
emigrated from Sweden. He published in many science papers and
held patents. His research helped lots of people. Stefan had
many friends and family who loved him, he was a good guy, but
he was lonely and wanted a family.
Ana Trujillo was a young mother, who left her children and
moved to the city, to enjoy the life she felt she had been
deprived of. Ana was a party girl, sleeping with any guy who
could give her a place to live or pay the bills. People
initially liked her, but as her life began to spiral out of
control, her anger issues became obvious.
Initially she was everything Stefan wanted, but when it became
clear that the relationship wouldn't work he tried to end
it. Ana stalked him until it ended the only way it could.
People said she dabbled in witchcraft and thought she had
powers. Did she kill him because of that or was she just a
violent stalker?
Kathryn Casey did lots of research into the lives of both the
victim and assailant in POSSESSED. She describes the lives of
both of them from early childhood till the murder. It is
amazing the amount of people she spoke with and the stories
they told. POSSESSED is a fascinating read, whether or not Ana
was possessed is unknown, but she definitely has issues. It
just makes you wonder how all the other guys were lucky enough
to get away and understand why poor Stefan never stood a
chance.
Kathryn Casey gives you the life stories of those involved in
the Texas Stiletto Murder and paints a fascinating story of a
woman who spiraled into murder in POSSESSED.
A WALKING NIGHTMARE—IN SIZE-NINE STILETTOS . . . The officer responding to a 911 call at one of Houston’s hippest high-rises expected the worst. After all, domestic violence situations can be unpredictable. But nothing could’ve prepared him for what he found: a beautiful woman drenched in blood . . . an older man lying dead on the floor . . . and a cobalt blue suede stiletto with tufts of white hair stuck to its five-and- a-half-inch heel. With her stunning looks, magnetic personality, and erratic behavior, Ana Trujillo had a notorious reputation on the downtown Houston scene. She spoke often of occult powers, though few knew how deeply she believed such boasts. Stefan Andersson was a gentle soul, a Swedish transplant with a good career and trusted friends, who was desperate to find someone special. Theirs is a story of obsession, madness, and tragedy. Because once Stefan fell head over heels for Ana, he was under her control— and he didn’t have a chance in hell.
