Porn & Murder An Anthology of True Crime

PORN STARS, STRIPPERS, ESCORTS AND PORN PURVEYERS ALL COMMITTING MURDER IN THESE LURID TALES OF TRUE CRIME
AMANDA LOGUE
Amber Logue had a double life. She was married with a young daughter. But only her husband knew what she was doing on the side to earn money.
Prostitution. Pornography.
She headlined several adult films under the stage name of "Sunny Dae". Together with her bisexual partner, Jason Andrews, the two would reach heights of sexual perversion that would lead them down the path to the ultimate taboo.
Murder.
They would rob and kill tattoo shop owner Dennis "Scooter" Abrahamsen in a shocking crime that made national headlines.
But their motivation wasn't money.
They committed the crime because it made them "hot."
MECHELLE HUGHES
Kent Lippink's dead body was left on a hiking trail near Hope, Alaska, an hour from Anchorage. He was discovered by utility workers making their way to a job. But perhaps because of the conditions on that remote hillside, or because of the carefulness of the murderers, no physical evidence was found that could have tied anybody to the crime.
What little evidence there was, and common sense, pointed towards roommates Mechele Hughes and John Carlin, but not enough to bring them to trial. Leppink's death, however, was almost overshadowed by Mechele Hughes' story: a stripper who had perhaps had her boyfriend murdered in cold blood, by her lover. The salacious story gripped headlines around the country when the case went to trial, a full decade after the crime.
ROBYN LINDHOLM
Australia's Most Dangerous Woman

Robyn Lindholm was destined for fame. By the age of 14, this talented, beautiful young woman was already an up-and-comer in the world of Australian figure skating - competing in national ice-skating championships and even performing alongside Olympic legends Torvill and Dean, handpicked by the duo to participate in their sold-out Face The Music world tour.

However, it wasn't her talent on the ice that ensured Lindholm's name would appear on the front page of newspapers for years. Instead, this gorgeous femme fatale will be remembered as a murderer - and potentially, even a serial killer.
SHAYNA HUBERS
On October 11, 2012, Shayna Hubers and Ryan Poston and his family had dinner at the young lawyer's home. After dinner, Hubers went home- she returned a few hours later, however, and the couple got into a heated argument. Poston informed his girlfriend that he wanted to end their 18-month long relationship, and it set Hubers off into a fit of anger. Her anger worsened when she was later told that Poston already had a date lined up with the 2012 Miss Ohio, Audrey Bolte. It's believed that the news of Ryan's new date was what pushed Hubers over the edge.
PAMELA SMART
The case of Pamela Smart is infamous and retold in popular media through episodes on crime-based drama. What is it about Pamela Smart and her affair with a fifteen-year-old boy that draws society to continue to retell her case? The murder of Gregory Smart, Pamela's husband, is one that tells a story not often seen in the trends of women who commit murder.
