Not every woman is meant to be a mother.

In The Murder of Jennyann: A Shocking True Crime Story, Rod Kackley unravels the harrowing true story of Martha Ann Johnson—a woman whose desperate attempts to keep her husband, Earl, from leaving her took a devastating toll on her innocent children.

Each time Earl strayed, Ann’s fury grew darker, and tragedy struck. She called it bad luck. But Earl and his best friend, Stanley, suspected something far more sinister, even as their suspicions fell on deaf ears. Despite their pleas, law enforcement, medical professionals, and social services overlooked the warning signs, allowing Ann’s deadly patterns to continue unchecked.

For seven years, the investigation grew cold—until a newspaper story revived interest, catching the attention of a police detective who launched a crusade for justice.

The Murder of Jennyann: A Shocking True Crime Story isn’t just the tale of a mother turned murderer—it’s an indictment of the systems meant to protect the vulnerable, systems that ultimately failed Ann’s children.

This is a new and enhanced edition of one of Rod’s first books, Mommy Deadliest, featuring fresh twists, refined storytelling, and deeper character insights. Rediscover the story as it was meant to be told.

Through chilling details and meticulous research, Rod Kackley explores the broken institutions that ignored the warning signs and the tragic consequences that followed.

This haunting, deeply moving story will captivate true crime fans, leaving them to wonder how many lives might have been saved if someone had only listened.
