Lindholm Ranch
Rubidoux, California
April 17, 2001, 4 p.m.
Diane Lindholm rounded the corner in her noisy pickup truck, passing the new suburban subdivisions carved from the ranches that once dominated rural Riverside, California. One by one, ranchers had cashed out to developers, resulting in a jarring mix of empty, overgrown lots and urban sprawl next to the older mansions of monied ranchers. Lindholm, fifty, lived and worked on her own ranch, or ranchette, as purists would put it.
The two-and-a-half-acre property had a barn, two corrals where Lindholm trained horses and gave riding lessons, and a tack room to store saddles, bridles, and horse grooming gear. The ranch, where Lindholm lived with her twelve-year-old son, Eric, was two miles from a newly sprouted development of ranch-style homes whose driveways featured shiny sport utility vehicles that rarely touched dirt. Lindholm’s Ford F-250 diesel truck was dusty from hauling hay and horse tack and pulling her horse trailer.
Her natural blond ringlets falling to her shoulders, Lindholm pulled into the driveway and hopped out of her truck to unlock the gate. She frowned when she saw the lock dangling from the latch and a glint from a link in the broken metal chain shining on the gravel driveway. The rest of the chain was wrapped around the gate. Lindholm’s first thought was that teenagers had broken in to bother the horses, but her concern was mounting. Her son hadn’t been at the bus stop waiting for her to pick him up, and it was too quiet. Where were her dogs, Zachary and Sparky?
Lindholm parked in the driveway and walked across the front lawn toward the house, not knowing whether to be annoyed or scared.
BLAM!
Lindholm froze. Gunshots were not uncommon in the semi-rural area. People sometimes shot rabbits in the seven-acre field behind her property or hunted the wild pigs that foraged in the riverbed bordering her property. Despite her fear, Lindholm was determined to check inside the house to see if her son was there. A few steps from the front door, she was startled to see someone out of the corner of her eye. A young woman with long, blond hair emerged from the breezeway adjoining the house and the tack room.
“Can I help you?” Lindholm called out to her.
“I’ve been hired to work here,” the girl replied.
She was lying. Lindholm hadn’t hired anyone. Fidgety and thin, the girl wore trendy jeans with holes at the knees and a light-colored top, hardly the type of outfit one would wear to muck out a barn or bale hay. Lindholm heard a man’s voice coming from behind the vine-covered trellis that shielded the breezeway. She couldn’t see the man or make out the words, but his voice was low and authoritative, as if he was giving directions. The girl looked toward the source of the voice, then back at Lindholm. She didn’t know why the strange girl was on her property and began worrying about her son’s whereabouts.
“O.K.,” Lindholm responded, thinking quickly. “I’m just going to run inside and get a glass of water.”
She tried to stay calm as she walked the remaining few yards to her front door. Once inside, she thought only of her son as she raced frantically through the house to his bedroom. She didn’t notice the kitchen window pane on the counter. She tore open her son’s bedroom door. He wasn’t there.
She ran to the kitchen phone and dialed 9-1-1. The dispatcher told her to leave the house immediately. She was instructed to lock the house, walk slowly to her truck, drive to a neighbor’s house and wait for police. As Lindholm spoke with the dispatcher, she watched the young woman standing in the breezeway, turning to her right and looking down, apparently talking with the man hiding behind the trellis. From the house, Lindholm could see only the girl. Why hadn’t she moved from the breezeway?
It seemed like a very long walk back to her truck as the gravity of the moment sank in. Lindholm was too frightened to turn her head to see if the young woman was still there. She wanted to run but tried not to appear rushed or anxious. Lindholm quietly got into her truck, glancing up only to notice that the strange girl was still standing by the tack room, talking with the man hidden by the trellis.
Why would this young woman and her unseen companion break the lock to get on her property? All Lindholm had were horses, and this girl wasn’t dressed like someone who knew her way around a corral. Who was behind the trellis? Did one of them fire the gun?
More importantly, where was her son?
County Gas Pumps on Etiwanda Avenue
Mira Loma, California
4:06 p.m.
“Two Edward eleven, stand by to copy. 459 in progress.”
Deputy Jim Erickson turned his head slightly to talk into the compact radio microphone strapped to his chest, recognizing the penal code section for residential burglary. It was the end of the day shift and Erickson, like dozens of other deputies, was at one of the gas pumps scattered around the county topping off the tank of his cruiser.
“459 in progress,” the dispatcher said. “Riverview at 46th. White female twenties, last seen wearing light-colored shirt over jeans. Possibly a male suspect, no further description. Reporting party was advised by dispatch to leave.”
Erickson replaced the gas nozzle, hopped in his patrol car, and punched the accelerator. The patrol supervisor advised him to drive with lights but no siren. It would take him at least twenty minutes in the build of pre–rush hour traffic to travel the more than eight miles to the location. He took Mission Boulevard to avoid the freeway and listened to the buzz from intermittent radio calls as he drove. He recognized the voice of his supervisor, Sergeant Ralph Johnson, who said he would personally report to the Riverview address, and that of Deputy Chris Barajas, who was close to the neighborhood. Minutes later, the dispatcher broadcast reports of two intruders hopping fences in the Loring Ranch neighborhood, a fairly new residential subdivision a little over a mile from the Riverview address. Erickson heard Johnson, en route to Riverview, sending additional units to Riverview and to Loring Ranch. Dispatch was quickly flooded with calls from frightened residents in the subdivision.
Erickson was approaching the Riverview location when the radio crackled again. “Two Edward eleven, stand by to copy,” the dispatcher said. “86 the response to a 459 at Riverview and 46th,” the dispatcher said, giving him the code to abandon his previous assignment. Erickson listened to the new instructions: “Suspicious persons fleeing, one male, one female, no further description, southbound from location in vicinity of Loring Ranch,” the dispatcher said. “Air 1 en route.”
Deputy Erickson flipped on his siren, punched the brakes to spin his unit around, and sped toward Loring Ranch.
Loring Ranch
Rubidoux, California
4:15 p.m.
The twins had been squirming in the back of the van all the way home from school. Monique Bihm drove the giggling boys and their older sister through the newly built Loring Ranch subdivision. The developer had sought to carve out the maximum number of cul-de-sacs, creating a maze of look-alike, dead-end streets. Bihm swung the car right, then made a series of lefts through the labyrinth and a final left onto Ruis Court.
Loring Ranch was a project of the county redevelopment agency, whose mission was to revitalize the economically challenged part of Rubidoux. The housing tract resembled a gameboard of miniature suburbia with boxy starter homes in tiny squares of yard. Scrawny trees and ankle-high hedges afforded meager privacy, as did the proximity of homes. They were so close together, it was as easy to see into the next-door neighbor’s yard as the yard several houses over. But the residents were willing to overlook such deficits in order to own a home within a two-hour freeway drive of the greater Los Angeles area.
Once Bihm turned the corner, she saw her children’s chalk artwork decorating the blacktop in front of the house. She made a sharp left turn to avoid the row of chalk houses that looked just like the ones on their street, some with wisps of smoke coming out of the chimneys. She parked to the far left of the wide, concrete driveway and pushed a button on the console to unlock the passenger doors. The three kids noisily spilled out of the car and into the front yard to play. Though it was mid-April, icicle-style Christmas lights dripped from the roofline, topping the flagstone-framed picture window that overlooked the trimmed and treeless lawn.
Bihm turned around and pulled the children’s backpacks from the backseat, then flipped up the visor on the driver’s side for the button to the garage-door opener. Laden with book bags, Bihm walked up the driveway as the garage door yawned open to reveal a weight-lifting bench, a treadmill, and boxes of camping equipment. She walked past the garage wall of neatly hung rakes and hoes and entered the side door into the kitchen.
After piling the backpacks on the kitchen table, she made a call, cradling the phone at her shoulder while she fixed the children a snack. Then she heard the screams.
Tamara, ten, and Cameron, seven, ran past their mother into the kitchen through the side door to the garage. She rushed to the door and saw a large, brown Suburban in the garage, its front bumper rammed against the wall a few feet from the kitchen door. A middle-aged man at the wheel was gunning the engine, repeatedly slamming into the metal shelves and crushing Bihm’s camping equipment as if he were trying to wedge the oversized SUV into the too-small garage. A sickening swirl of exhaust fumes quickly filled the garage as the Suburban’s wheels squealed and spun on the slick concrete floor. And suddenly Bihm came face-to-face with a disturbed young woman at her kitche...

good, BUT......
By S. Alred
I read alot of true crime books and few creep me out the way this one did. (up there with BTK and Richard Ramirez). Michael and Janeen were so evil, and it was terrifying to me to know that there are people out there like them-these murders happened not so long ago too. No one was really safe when it came to these two, they could have killed anyone and anyone's kids. It angered me that Michelle had to die. I feel like she could have been saved. Michael's wife knew that he had murdered Jesse Peters and if she had came forward, Michelle may still be alive today. To me that is unexcusable even if she was abused, and Michelle's blood is on her hands. Also these two monsters could have been stopped after what happened with Maria. Shame on the detectives for not doing their job! They too could have prevented Michelle's murder if they had done what they should have about Maria's kidnapping and torture.
This Book was good and I found myself staying up late to read it, however I was majorly disappointed with the lack of details at times. The author gave excellent details about the crimes, although like the other reviewer, I feel she should have given background info on the killers and the victims. This book should have been a much longer book, because so much was left out. The biggest problem was the last chapter or Epoliloge, it was almost like the author wanted to hurry and finish the book, or she was trying to cram the ending into only a few pages. I have never read a True Crime book that had so little about the trial. You were left going, what? It made me want to get online and try to read about what happened at trial. If the author had included more details at the end, I would have given a much higher rating.
This is not related to they book, BUT I noticed that Janneen has a posting online looking for prison pen pals. I hope she gets all hate mail!

Lackluster title, decent book
By Elisabeth Young
First, turn to the pictures section and check out Janeen Snyder's mug shot. If that doesn't send a chill down your spine you might be dead. This girl was the epitome of a nut bag and her Svengali father figure Micheal rounds out a cast of crazy killers. I have been reading a lot lately about tag team man and woman killers and found these two to be the darkest of the bunch. Yes, this is a lighter read for those of us who enjoy more of a well researched tome for TC fare. However, this book doesn't disappoint. Have fun also looking up Janeen's current Jailbait ads for a pen pal. She is about 40 pounds heavier and a brunette sitting on death row looking for some affection. Based on her bloody poster artwork though, I would not encourage you to write. Lastly, someone related to one of the young victims wrote some vitriol on another site stating Braidhill was trying to profit from their pain. I see these books as a tribute to lives that no one would ever hear about if these authors did not take the time to write. She never put any victim in a negative light and I would be proud to have her write about my family.

Sick and Twisted
By L. Whitney
I read alot of true crime books and this one was one of the weakest ones I have read in a long time. The killers were sick and twisted and got what they deserved but there was not enough details about their backgrounds and upbringing. Next time instead of pre-ordering the book paying full price and reading it in a couple of day I will wait to for the story on 48-hours.
