Opis

Call Me Army Brat What do you do when a killer is stalking you, and no one believes you? In the 1960's, a precocious young girl cries "Wolf " once too often and puts her life at risk when she accidentally stumbles upon the pitifully, mutilated body of a teenage girl in the woods surrounding The Presidio of San Francisco. Maura narrowly misses meeting the killer and runs for her life from the scene of the crime, but when she reports the murder to the Presidio's military police they don't believe her story. Over the years, and on more than a dozen military bases, this extremely bright but naive Army Brat has subjected her family, friends and the military police to a variety of pranks. They know her intimately for her unbridled imagination and her propensity for playing jokes and tricks on people. Maura persists, however, pleading with the military police until she finally convinces them to check out the area in the woods. When Moira leads them to the spot, the body is gone and there are no traces of foul play. She receives serious lecture and warning from the police, and her dismayed parents ground her for a month. Her friends? They give her the benefit of the doubt, but they have other priorities in their lives and on their minds. A despondent Maura realizes she's on her own and morbidly wonders how long she can avoid her own grisly death. She attempts piecing together clues to the murder on her own, but is captured and only then discovers the true, surprising identity of a killer who is seemingly loved by all.
