HUSBAND...FATHER...MOLESTER...RAPIST...MURDERER...<P>On October 16, 1991, the badly decomposed body of an eleven-year-old girl was found in the woods near Boswell, Oklahoma. But before little Melissa Moody died an unspeakable death, she had experienced cruelty and depravity that defies belief: a systematic campaign of insane terror carried out by her own uncle, a twisted sociopath who made dozens of other innocents like her suffer a fate worse than death.<P>As a child Jesse James Cummings had been taught to hate and fear. As a teenage bridegroom he took cruelty and terror to new depths, plunging a house full of women and children into unimaginable sadism -- torturing and sexually abusing young girls and forcing his wives into prostitution. Ruling his living hell like the devil himself, he pitted victim against victim, until his violence spiraled into a blood storm of murder.<P>Only when one of his wives -- herself a victim, an accomplice and a survivor -- found the strength to turn against Cummings did police get the evidence they needed to put him on death row.
