This account of a college professor and an all-American girl turned prostitute is a strange and unlikely story. When the highly regarded Tufts University research scientist, married and with three children, became obsessed with the beautiful Robin Benedict, he would do anything to pay for her time. This included embezzlement. When she tried to get out of the relationship, he committed murder rather than face losing her.
