âVelez-Mitchell cracks the Jodi Arias codeâpeeling away the lies to reveal the disturbing truth behind this horrific crime of betrayal, deceit, and revenge.â âJim Moret, chief correspondent, Inside Edition On June 9, 2008, the butchered body of Travis Alexander was found in his Mesa, Arizona home. The grisly nature of his death made instant headlines: with twenty-nine knife wounds, his throat slit, and a gunshot to the head, Travis was left to die. The prime suspect in the case was Alexanderâs ex-girlfriend, the attractive and soft-spoken Jodi Arias. Though Arias initially said that she was nowhere near the scene of the crime, her lies evolved multiple times before finally resting on an appalling claim: she had killed Travis in self-defense. Along the way, startling details emerged about the Mormon coupleâs relationship, and soon graphic stories of their lurid sexual encounters and jealousy-driven blowouts revealed a dark side to their life together. Now, awardâwinning broadcast journalist and bestselling author Jane Velez-Mitchell, a veteran of some of the most storied court cases in recent memory, goes behind the scenes of the trial and into the mind of a killer. Separating fact from fiction, she reports on the bizarre and explicit stories that have both shocked and fascinated the American publicâfrom Jodiâs romantic history before meeting Travis, to their torrid sex life together, to the complicated role their Mormon faith played in the relationshipâs demise. Complete with photos from the case and Jane Velez-Mitchellâs fresh insights on the crime, Exposed takes readers behind closed bedroom doors to uncover the truth behind the secret and sordid life of Jodi Arias. |
