Her story is a tragic one, set in a town nearby Disneyland in Anaheim, California. By the time that Rosie was thirteen, she was heavily into drugs and considered by many to be an addict. At this age, Rosie was often doing fifty speedballs a day for weeks at a time. Regular doses of this highly addictive cocktail were just the first steps along a dark path which would end in a gruesome murder.
