'Nonetheless, the allegation that Jimmy and Larry were clandestine lovers would haunt the investigation and trial...'
'So much so, that the prosecutors would unsubtly paint the pair as a contemporary rendition of the sociopathic Brandon and Phillip from Alfred Hitchcock's Rope, so psychotically enamored with each other that they were driven to to kill for sport.'
Rope
Normally, I avoid spotlighting criminality, even when it's a smooth criminal, but the story of Jimmy Boudoin II (aka James Rackover) was too juicy to ignore. I spent an hour last weekend in the sun, devouring the Vanity Fair story about Jimmy, and his relationship (surrogate son? alleged lover?) with famous New York Jeweler Jeffrey Rackover.

The story however turns tragic when the would be model, who shot with Rick Day, is involved in the violent murder of 26 year old Joey Comunale. I won't give away the details, but if you haven't heard about the case before, the entire Vanity Fair story, with all the lured details, is available and can be read on their website.
