McSTAY FAMILY: California vs. Chase Merritt for 2010 murder of family *GUILTY*

San Diego author lands book deal about McStay family murders​

A prolific local true-crime author is working on a new page-turner.

Nearly 10 years after the bodies of a North County San Diego family were found in shallow graves in Victorville, the McStay family murders have raised a lot of questions, many are still unanswered.

Author Caitlin Rother is putting another mystery to print about the McStay family murders in 2010.

It's been 12 years and three days since the McStay family vanished from their Fallbrook home without a trace.

“The mystery is, what happened to that family?" said Rother.

The New York Times bestselling author is writing her 15th book with a tentative title, "Down to the Bone: The Mysterious McStay family murders."

Last year, San Diego-based true crime author released, "Death on Ocean Boulevard: Inside the Coronado Mansion Case," a book about the controversial death of Rebecca Zahau.

She lives in San Diego and followed the McStay case in court and in the media.

“I'm breaking one of my rules writing this book, I don't like writing about murdered children,” said Rother.

She says she won't be going into details about the children's murder. That was left to the prosecutor to convince the jury to convict Joseph's McStay's business partner Charles “Chase” Merritt.

“I'm telling you, you are going to see a lot in this book that just didn't get covered,” said Rother.

She wouldn’t divulge what is new that we don't know already know.

Rother hopes to release the McStay book by the end of next year or 2024. Meantime a TV series is in the works based off her book about Zahau, Death on Ocean Boulevard

I hope she covers Dan Kavanaugh in depth.
