Most's account of how two intelligent, affluent teenagers coldheartedly murdered their newborn baby proves riveting. On November 12, 1996, high-school sweethearts and college freshmen Amy Grossberg and Brian Peterson checked into a roadside Delaware motel under their own names. Sometime later, Amy gave birth to a six-pound baby boy. Brian took his child, placed it in a plastic garbage bag, and put the bag in an outside dumpster, in which it was found the next day after an extensive police search. Whether the baby was born alive and what caused its extensive skull fractures will never be known, according to Most, who covered the explosive story for a local newspaper. Based on interviews and police case files released after both teens had pleaded guilty to manslaughter, this is an evenhanded report on the well-publicized case. Ultimately, the tragic story proves only two things: ignoring a pregnancy, as Amy apparently tried to do, won't make it go away, and seemingly rational people are capable of irrational violence.
