Rushing was a charmer, a smooth talker who had quickly won over Brianna's heart. But behind his charming exterior lay a dark and twisted secret. He was a pathological liar, a master manipulator who had used his charisma to control and abuse Brianna.

As the investigation progressed, it became clear that Rushing had killed Brianna in a fit of rage. He had been cheating on her, and when she confronted him about it, he snapped. He beat her to death and then staged the scene to look like a robbery.

Rushing's arrest and subsequent trial sent shockwaves through Tonopah. The community was stunned by the brutality of the crime and the depths of depravity that it revealed. Twisted Devil is a chilling and unforgettable account of a crime that shattered the innocence of a small town.
