True Crime Case Histories - Volume 8

True crime books are not like other genres. I like make certain the reader knows what they're getting into. Real true crime is not CSI. It's exponentially more horrible. True crime fans who have been reading these books for years already know this. Even television documentaries will skip over the truly gruesome parts of crime stories. In my books, I don't skip over the details no matter how disturbing they may be. My intent is to give the reader a better glimpse into the mind of the killer.

There are twelve stories in this volume of True Crime Case Histories. One particular story in this volume was sent to me by several readers in the Michigan area. The news of a young woman's savage death in 2018 was front-page news in Michigan, but the rest of the world may not have heard the story yet.

Volume 8 features: Longer stories, more photos, a bonus chapter, and an online appendix with additional photos, videos, and documents. Volume 8 of True Crime Case Histories features twelve new stories from the past fifty years.

A sampling of the stories include:

In this volume, you'll read some stories that take place as recently as a few years ago while others date back as far as the 1930s. There's the story of a young Russian immigrant who came to the United States seeking the exciting lifestyle he'd seen on television, only to be stabbed, set on fire, and left to die in the desert by his own friends.

There's also the story of a brawny railway worker who couldn't control his steroid-fueled rage. After killing two people and being sentenced to life in prison, he continued his rage behind bars.

There's the story of a young woman who was abducted while sunbathing along the Ohio River. A witness across the river saw the abduction in progress and identified the abductor, but after more than twenty-five years, the girl's mother still searches for answers.

Some stories made major news headlines, like that of the awkward farm boy from British Columbia who preyed upon desperate prostitutes, killing as many as forty-nine women while leaving almost no trace of their remains.

Plus many more disturbing stories.

The stories in this volume are shocking and exhibit human behavior at its absolute worst. Pure evil. However, these things really happen in the world. We may never understand what goes on in a killer's mind, but at least we can be better informed.
