Christa Helm: A Hollywood Murder

A young woman who slept with every taken man she could get her hands on, gets pregnant, has a shotgun wedding, then when the father runs as far from her as possible she dumps the baby with a nanny in another state and flies off to her new life as an actress. And according to everyone it was all for her daughter *sniff, sob, single tear*.

In any other country in the world, that's abandonment and she's selfish female dog.

If a man had kept a log of everyone he'd had sex with, with ratings for his partners, and made secret recordings of their encounters, he'd be lynched. But apparently it was perfectly fine for Christa.

Having ditched her kid in Vermont to "protect her" from her new glitzy, drug fueled life in NYC, where she banged her way down the A list, Christa then moved to Hollywood, where she could bang her way through the rest of the A list and collect more blackmail material on real celebrities. But according to everyone, even the child she threw away, she was a wonderful person and a loving single mum. Aren't being a mum and being single the prerequisites for being a single mum?

Is there something in the water in the US?

Also what did people expect the cops to do? There's lots of implications made about the police's lack of progress on the case, but there weren't many leads.

A woman who slept with every famous person she could, made it known that she would do anything to get famous and that she had a book full of details and recordings she'd secretly made that she planned on sharing for fame and fortune, then turns up dead. How was anyone meant to narrow down the suspects?

Every rich and/or famous man or woman on the east and west coasts, especially married ones, could have been in that conquest book or the recordings, they alone were too many to rule out, or in, not to mention their friends, family, and employees. And that's if you ignore all her shadier associates, any of whom could also be in the book or recordings; criminals have this weird thing about not wanting their associates to collect incriminating evidence against them.
