In THE COLONEL, Alanna Nash does superb detective work in revealing the secrets that Andreas Cornelis van Kuijk (Colonel Tom Parker's real name) tried so hard to hide. The Colonel even kept the secret of his heritage from his own family - his stepson believed that Parker was a native of West Virginia. The most startling of these revelations is that Parker may have murdered a young woman in his native Holland when he was 20 years old.He disappeared shortly after the murder occurred, abruptly leaving for America without saying goodbye to his family or even taking money, clothes or identifying papers. Nash was also able to find Parker's long-lost military record, which tellingly gives him a discharge "on basis of Constitutional Psychopathic State, Emotional Instability".
These are just a few of the stories that Nash uses to make up her psychological profile of Parker. This might sound like the stuff that normally fills the National Enquirer, but Nash tastefully displays a detectives' knack for 'just the facts' reporting.
Soo, i guess Willie Nelson would have been the perfect choice.
