The tale of one woman's shattered American dream -- to be free as who she wanted to be: a lesbian mother divorced -- appears on the bottom of the Saint Petersburg Times today. It's well constructed, with a nice chronology that isn't straight forward but I think it's the most readable format for this case. It serves to foreshadow with an ominous tone throughout.

I like that the Times isn't afraid to revisit a crime broken earlier just to add detail and dramatic framing. Here are all the other stories on this, with different angles and different details as they were discovered: Dec. 16, Dec. 18, Dec. 22, April 1, April 2.

The only things I'm wondering about is what will happen to the daughter of Andrea, 4-year-old Annie Rose, and why this ampersand appears here in this otherwise lovely kicker: "She did everything she could to live the American dream," Lloyd Davis said. "But ultimately, she had to be who she was. & It cost her her life."
