The book, Deadly Little Secret: How one Eagle Scout murdered his father, mother, and teenaged sister at the command of a community’s Man-of-the-Year, civic leader, Boy Scout Master, and son of a prominent Chancery Judge. The secret life of a Scout Master pedophile who controlled the lives of over 150 young boys during a span of 30 years.
How could the small Arkansas community of Lonoke not know that something sinster was taking place over this 30 year period? Many of Lonoke’s citizens are continuing to ask this question.
Deadly Little Secret not only details the murders of Joe, Barbara, and Heather Stocks but delves into the secret life of the pedophile. Pedopilia is a devistating crime, a crime that is much more prevalent that is recognized.
This book is divided into two parts. Part One details the triple murders of the Stocks’ family and the abuse of the many other young Lonoke area boys. It proves that for every action there is a reaction. In Deadly Little Secret, the reaction resulted in many forms: murder, suicide, drug abuse, alcoholism, a continuation of child abuse toward the victim’s own children and an a higher than average percentage of criminal activity among the many victims. Part Two explains the several specifics that fall under the generalized term “pedophilia:” Infantophilia, Ephebophilia and Hebephilia. Also included is a chapter on psychological trauma of crime victimization, and anti-social personality disorder.
Deadly Little Secret is a must read for the individual interested in and concerned about child abuse in America. It is both intriguing and informative with actual case interviews with the many victims, victim families, law enforcement personnel directly involved in the complex investigation and the general citizenry of this small Arkansas community. Numerous photographs are included.
