I know a lot about the Busalacchi case. In fact I have studied it more than any of the others. If Christine was a friend of Norry's daughter, then Norry knew a lot too.
Christine was all over the local papers and way in the media when she was being killed by her father.
Fascinating case....the Missouri state dept of public health was battling the father in court to save Christine.
During the battle, they went in and video taped Christine, moving, waving to them, etc.
Then they held a press conference and handed the tape to every single tv channel in St. Louis. And every single one ran the tape on the evening news, dubbed over with comments from caretakers of Christine who talked about how responsive Christine was, etc.
But they killed her anyway in the end, because her father had the right to say she would not have wanted to live "like that" on her behalf.
Christine's story was very sad. Her mother died when she was only 4 and Christine was a very angry teenager.
