In Laundrie's case, he said: "What [my wife] Francie and I found on that Facebook is absolutely, I can say, terrifying."

Lullaby, published in 2002, tells the story of journalist Carl Streator, who is writing an article about crib death when he notices a strange connection between the deaths of the babies and those of his own wife and infant.
