Who is the killer in the lifetime movie Amish murder?

Answer 1

I don't know as it would serve any purpose to reveal that here.

The book, "Sworn To Silence" by Linda Castillo is fiction. Her Amish roots and big city law enforcement background make protagonist Kate Burkholder the perfect candidate for Chief of Police of Painters Mill. A big part of the premise is that Kate thinks the serial killer is a boy who raped her fifteen years ago, at the age of fourteen.

That's pretty hard to swallow. Women who grow up to be cops are relatively uncommon, and chiefs of police are even rarer. It's pretty rare for kids in a family that owns no guns and practices nonviolence to be cops anyway, and it's relatively uncommon for farm kids to move to the city. Cops generally come from families of cops, in any case, and the notion of a little Amish girl growing up to move to the city, being allowed to take training for even a meter maid's job is pretty difficult to swallow, even for someone who can swallow three incredible things before breakfast.

Kate would be aware that there is exactly one known case of murder by an Amish man, one who was apparently demented, in the last two centuries. Kate would be aware that most rapes of Amish females is by Amish males, Kate would be aware that rapists and serial murderers are rarely the same person; their psychological profile is quite different, rather than "all perps are alike."

Linda Castillo is apparently an entertaining author who found public interest in the plain sects and in serial murderers useful hooks for selling books, especially when added to the Lifetime Network's popular movies of helpless women in mortal danger, won't someone please come rescue her, preferably someone young, muscular, good-looking, rich, single and terribly frustrated in his search for a woman willing to marry him. My word, why doesn't the National Organization of Women protest loudly that the anti-woman attitudes of Lifetime are far more offensive than the worst issue of Hustler ever published?

The only redeeming factor I find here is that the first body, a naked woman, is discovered near the covered bridge on Dog Leg Road, when Mr Stutz's milch cows get out for the second time in a week. There are a lot of covered bridges in Lancaster County, and a lot of Amish farmers with dairy herds, and a lot of Amish men named Stultz. What's more, about a mile and a hakf from Farmersville,where Floyd Landis's parents live, there is Katze Boucle Weeg, also called Cat's Back Way by the English. Something makes me think that Linda Castillo altered many details on purpose, rater than being a dumb bunny.

But this question has nothing to do with the Amish or any of the other plain sects. It's about some group of people who don't exist. So it must be the butler who done it, Everybody knows that the pseudo-Amish have lots of butlers.
