Bobbi Jo Smith says her life was shattered by the sexual abuse she experienced as a child.

Although she was engaged to a man and became pregnant at sixteen, Bobbi Jo said she hid an attraction to females.

As a youngster Bobbi Jo was a tomboy, growing up with all brothers.

Bobbi Jo’s son is the love of her life. The birthdays she celebrated with him are memories she holds closest today.

Today Bobbi Jo dreams of such normal, everyday pleasures as talking to friends on the phone and laughing.

Jennifer had never been involved with a female before meeting Bobbi Jo Smith and becoming obsessed with her.

When detectives searched Bob Dow’s computer, they found a variety of photos of underage girls in poses that ranged from suggestive to pornographic.

Bobbi Jo loved to take photos of the women she was involved with, like this one of Jennifer.

Bob Dow would get wasted on booze, pills, and weed, then put Bobbi Jo in charge of taking photos and directing his films.

Often mistaken—even by police—for a pillow case, this laundry bag was placed over Bob Dow’s head and upper body by his killer before she shot him.
