The Good Son: A True Story of Greed, Manipulation, and Cold-Blooded Murder

Rick and Suzanna Wamsley were respected members of their Mansfield, Texas community. As former high-school sweethearts, they gave their two children every advantage, including their twenty-year-old son Andrew. However, Andrew harbored resentment toward his parents—over being required to attend college, being denied the title to a sports car, and their disapproval of his teenage girlfriend, Chelsea Richardson. On December 11, 2003, Chelsea and two accomplices broke into the Wamsley home armed with guns and knives. Suzanna was killed immediately. Rick fought back against his attackers but could not survive. DNA evidence later connected Chelsea's best friend, Susana Toledano, to the crime scene. Investigators also identified a fourth suspect who had provided the murder weapon. As authorities closed in on the final perpetrator, they discovered the person who stood to inherit nearly two million dollars from the Wamsleys' deaths: Andrew, their son.
