Some evils are meant to belong to the land of lore: where horrible monsters exist only to bewitch and unsettle the mind. But there are real horrors in this world, and the thing of nightmares can often exist right outside your door. Unfortunately, the only way to extinguish this kind of darkness, is to examine it in the light. For the name Jeffrey Dahmer still exists in the lexicon of American history as an example of pure evil and the proof that monsters truly do exist. Having murdered and dismembered seventeen men and boys between 1978 and 1991, the legacy of the cannibal next door still fascinates many who seek to understand where such brutality could come from, and how it managed to operate unchecked for so long.
In Jeffrey Dahmer: The Milwaukee Cannibal, history takes a discerning eye to the life and behaviors of one of the world's most infamous serial killers. Giving consideration to Jeffrey's upbringing as well as his legacy, this biography offers new ways to consider and condemn the man inside the monster.

Автор: Fogarty Greg Название: Almost Perfect: The True Story of the Crawford Family Murders ISBN: 1450285163 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781450285162 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 19470.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: On July 2, 1970, tourists in Australia spotted a smashed car, teetering precariously on a cliff edge, overlooking the raging ocean below. It seemed the car would fall into the water at any moment, but the car lingered ... as did a mystery, revealed when police traced the license plate to the Crawford household. Here, the police discovered the shocking truth: a mother and her three children had been murdered, with the husband and father-now missing-the main suspect.
The quadruple homicide sent a wave of panic through Australia. Where was the husband? And what would make a father kill his own children? There was much speculation but few answers, as the Crawford patriarch remained missing. Forty years passed-forty years of "Australia's Most Wanted," police dead ends, and silence ... until an unidentified body appears in a Texas morgue.
Almost Perfect is the firsthand look at a terrible crime from the perspective of Greg Fogarty-a neighbor to the Crawford family and later a member of the Victoria Police Force, Australia. Using his skills of observation and investigation, Fogarty has put together a tragic and detailed crime narrative with a shocking conclusion. Could a morgue in San Angelo, Texas, hold the body of Australia's most sought-after murderer ... or will the Crawford homicide remain unsolved forever?

Описание: ***WINNER*** Indie Reader Award for Best True Crime Book*** ***WINNER***Independent Publisher (IPPY) Bronze Medal Award for Best History Book 2014*** ***FINALIST*** Indie Excellence Award for Best True Crime Book (second place)*** Jack the Ripper stalked the streets of London's East End from August through November of 1888 in what is dubbed the 'Autumn of Terror'. However, the grisly ripping of Polly Nichols on August 31st was not the first unsolved murder of the year. The April murder of Emma Smith and the August murder of Martha Tabram both occurred on bank holidays. They baffled the police and press alike and were assumed by the original investigators to have been the first murders in the series. Where they correct? In this provocative work of literary archeology, author Tom Wescott places these early murders in their proper historical context and digs to unearth new evidence and hard facts not seen in over 125 years. The Bank Holiday Murders is the only book of its kind. It eschews the tired approach of unsatisfying 'final solutions' in favor of solid research, logical reasoning and new information. The clues followed are not drawn from imagination but from the actual police reports and press accounts of the time. The questions asked by Wescott are ones first suggested by the original investigators but lost to time until now. The answers provided are compelling and sometimes explosive. Among the revelations are: - New information linking the murders of Smith & Tabram to the same killer(s). - Proof that the police did not believe key witnesses in either case. - Proof that at least one of these witnesses was working with the murderer. - New evidence connecting many of the victims that may lead to their actual slayers. - Information on Emily Horsnell, the ACTUAL first Whitechapel murder victim. - The hidden truth of 'Leather Apron' and its role in unraveling the Ripper mystery. - Proof of a corrupt police sergeant who thwarted the investigation. Was he protecting the Ripper? - Much more. The Bank Holiday Murders: The True Story of the First Whitechapel Murders brings us closer than ever to the actual truth behind the Jack the Ripper story and is sure to appeal to fans of Paul Begg, Stewart P. Evans, Philip Sugden, Donald Rumbelow, Ann Rule, Patricia Cornwell as well as readers of Victorian true crime, true life mysteries and historical cold cases in general.

The true account of the man who murdered his family in their New Jersey mansion--and eluded a nationwide manhunt for eighteen years.
Until 1971, life was good for mild-mannered accountant John List. He was vice president of a Jersey City bank and had moved his mother, wife, and three teenage children into a nineteen-room home in Westfield, New Jersey. But all that changed when he lost his job. Raised by his Lutheran father to believe success meant being a good provider, List saw himself as an utter failure. Straining under financial burdens, the stress of hiding his unemployment, as well as the fear that the free-spirited 1970s would corrupt the souls of his children, List came to a shattering conclusion.
"It was my belief that if you kill yourself, you won't go to heaven," List told Connie Chung in a television interview. "So eventually I got to the point where I felt that I could kill them. Hopefully they would go to heaven, and then maybe I would have a chance to later confess my sins to God and get forgiveness."
List methodically shot his entire family in their home, managing to conceal the deaths for weeks with a carefully orchestrated plan of deception. Then he vanished and started over as Robert P. Clark. Chronicling List's life before and after the grisly crime, Death Sentence exposes the truth about the accountant-turned-killer, including his revealing letter to his pastor, his years as a fugitive with a new name--and a new wife--his eventual arrest, and the details of his high-profile trial.

Joe Sharkey was a weekly columnist for the New York Times for nineteen years. Previously, he was an assistant national editor at the Wall Street Journal and a reporter and columnist with the Philadelphia Inquirer. The author of four books of nonfiction and one novel, Sharkey is currently an adjunct professor of journalism at the University of Arizona. He and his wife live in Tucson.
In 1912, a prosperous Illinois farm family-Charles; his wife, Mathilda; their fifteen-year-old daughter, Blanche; and boarding schoolteacher Emma Kaempen-were brutally murdered, the crime concealed by arson, and the family's surviving son, handsome Ray Pfanschmidt, arrested. He was convicted by the press long before trial. In Lies Told Under Oath, author Beth Lane retells the story of the murders, the trial, the verdict, and the aftermath.
Using information culled from actual trial transcripts and newspaper accounts, Lane presents the day-to-day testimony as Ray's battle for his life surged through three courtrooms-the drama complicated by brilliant attorneys, allegations of perjury, charges of rigged evidence, jailhouse informants, legal loopholes, conflict over the large estate being inherited by the alleged murderer, and appeals to the state supreme court. The remaining family became divided over Ray's guilt while his fiancйe staunchly stood by him.
Lies Told Under Oath provides a fascinating, historical account of the times and the people-when science was in its infancy, telephones meant shared party lines, bloody evidence was contested (or contrived), and automobiles competed with bloodhounds and buggies. It captures the essence of an emotional crime that rocked this small Illinois community.
