Book excerpt: Located in Council Bluffs, Iowa, Pottawattamie Squirrel Cage Jail is a National Register of Historic Places landmark. Erected in 1885, it is one of only three rotary jails still in existence today. In Squirrel Cage Jail, author S. M. Senden relates the history of the iconic Squirrel Cage jail, from its construction and operation to its closing in 1969 and subsequent purchase by the Council Bluffs park board for preservation in 1971. According to Senden, preservation wasn't easy and was ultimately buoyed by a fundraising effort led by the local historical society. Senden also highlights local criminals as well as some of the jail's more infamous prisoners and shares local folklore relating to the jail's reputation for being haunted. She says, "I hope readers will be spellbound by one of the most fascinating and haunting places in Iowa." Squirrel Cage Jail is available for purchase online at Amazon.

Download or read book A Tangled Web written by Leslie Rule and published by Citadel Press. This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the tradition of her acclaimed mother, Ann Rule, author of The Stranger Beside Me, bestselling author Leslie Rule exposes the trail of a sadistic sociopath, identity thief, and killer . . . It was a bleak November in 2012 when Cari Farver, thirty-seven, vanished from Omaha, Nebraska. Texts sent indicated that the hardworking mother had quit her job, abandoned her son, and cut ties with everyone. Cari’s boyfriend, Dave Kroupa, accepted the breakup at face value. Her mother, Nancy Raney, however, had doubts. “I need to hear your voice,” Nancy begged. When the texter refused to speak, Nancy reported Cari missing. While no one saw or spoke to Cari, more than 12,000 sinister emails and texts were sent in her name over the next years. Police believed Dave and his girlfriend, Shanna “Liz” Golyar, when they reported that the missing woman was cyberstalking them. The tormentor was eerily aware of Dave’s every move, knew when Liz visited and threatened the couple. It never occurred to Dave that Cari was a victim—that the real stalker had killed before, and was planning to kill again. Leslie Rule tracks the heart-pounding path to long-awaited justice—from a twisted past to the deadly deception and the high-tech forensics that condemned the killer to prison. “Rule's first true crime book hits the mark.” —Katherine Ramsland, author of Confession of a Serial Killer: The Untold Story of Dennis Rader the BTK Killer “A deft, fascinating true crime story of obsession.” —Library Journal (Starred Review) With a New Update by the Author Includes Reading Group Guide

This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on a Park System for Council Bluffs, Iowa There is temptation, in closing this report on the park system of Council Bluffs, to speak of one or two other mat ters that are closely germane. Broadway will become more and more distinctly a traffic highway. While it is fitting, even necessary, to develop it as attractively as possible, I think that all the special emphasis of a park approach should be put on Eighth avenue, with its better promise, and on the levee drive to the north. The proposed purchase, by public subscription, of the triangle at Main and Pearl streets has of course my sympathy. It is interesting to note how this improvement would add to the importance and dignity of the suggested Worth street ap proach to Fairmount Park, especially if the corner of Worth and Main be rounded. From Broadway and Pearl street, one would pass, in quick succession, Bayliss Park, the improved triangle, and the parked entrance into Worth street - a fitting introduction to the park. Should the City Council place the street trees of the city in charge of the Park Commission, as it proposed doing at the time of my visit, action should be taken that will give to the Commission a right to levy on the abutting property the cost of street tree work - whether planting, removing or trim ming. This is a power very commonly, and ju'stly, given when the burden of street tree care is placed upon Park Commis sions.
