Book excerpt: SERIAL KILLER STORIES VOLUME 5: William Bonin And Alexander Pichushkin - 2 Books in 1 Featuring... *William Bonin *Alexander Pichushkin 2 Great Books in 1! William Bonin America: home of the free, land of the brave. Thousands of screaming fans pack into baseball games, football (not soccer!) stadiums, and rock concerts. Americans like loud music, fast cars, and women with more plastic in them than the cutlery they use at Fourth of July picnics. But America has another claim to fame. Killers. Sure, the rest of the world has turned in some iconic killers, from Jack the Ripper to Osama Bin Laden. But killers and serial killers, in general, are as American as apple pie. The F.B.I. theorizes that there are anywhere between twenty-five and fifty serial killers active in the United States of America at any given time. They each murder an average of three people per year, and are active sometimes for decades. The F.B.I. goes on to clarify that a serial killer is defined as having killed two or more people in separate events and times. These arent crimes of passion, where someone murders someone during an argument, or after catching their lover in bed with someone else. These are planned and calculated with a cold-blooded efficiency that reminds one of black-eyed sharks, slicing silently through the water to ambush their prey. With all of that said, it appears as though the golden age of American serial killers is over. That crime has steadily fallen since the 1970s and 1980s. Sure theyre still around, men and (a few) women who take life after life with their knives and guns, but gone are the days of Bundy, Gacy, and their ilk. Well take a look at one more, one not everyone is familiar with, but a man who carved a bloody path through multiple years as the 70s gave way to the 80s. His name was William Bonin, and they called him The Freeway Killer. Alexander Pichushkin Born into a poor family in a cramped apartment in forgotten Moscow suburb Alexander Pichushkin would achieve something that none of his contemporaries in the Konkovo District would ever manage. His actions between 1992 and 2006 ensured that his name would go down in history. To some he is the Bitsevsky Park Maniac. To others he is the Chessboard Killer. To the people he grew up with he is Alexander Sasha Pichushkin an ordinary boy who would become one of Russias most feared serial killers. After his father left Alexander Pichushkin grew up in a single parent family. Initially a shy child a playground accident turned him into an angry young man, unable to control his temper. This event also helped to turn Pichushkin into an outsider. As the child became increasingly unhappy his mother, Natasha, ran out of options. It was then that her father, Alexander Pichushkin's grandfather, stepped in. For the next few years Pichushkin lived with his grandfather and learnt how to be a man. He also learnt how to play chess and drink vodka. After the death of his beloved grandfather and loyal pet dog Pichushkin found himself to be increasingly isolated. By now he was once again living in a cramped apartment with his mother and half-sister. During this period Pichushkin took to drinking heavily and looking at pornography. Itis reported that he also found enjoyment in scaring the young children who played in the nearby Bitsevsky Park. A few months after his 18th birthday Alexander Pichushkin committed his first murder, brutally killing a school friend, Mikhail Odichuk. Despite investigating the police did not have enough evidence to charge Pichushkin so he was allowed to go free. This is the true story of these brutal events, which later earned Pichushkin the label 'The Chessboard Killer'.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 12 True Crime Stories of Murder & Mayhem Fifth Book of the True Crime Case Histories Series (2020) Those of you familiar with my previous books in the True Crime Case Histories series know that I always start off with a quick word of warning: real true crime isn't for everyone. Television shows and newspaper articles often gloss over the shocking details because it may be too grisly for the average viewer or reader. When researching these stories, I commonly use actual police reports, court documents, and first-hand descriptions. Some of the details can be disconcerting. I do my best to not leave out any of the details in my books, no matter how depraved they may be. My intent is not to shock, but to show precisely how twisted the mind of a killer can be. That being said, if you are overly squeamish, this may not be the book for you. If you're okay with it, then let's proceed. Volume 5 features: longer stories, more photos, a bonus chapter, and an online appendix with additional photos, videos, and documents. Volume Five features twelve of the most incomprehensible stories of the last fifty years. A sampling of the stories include: In this book, you'll read about a young, intelligent man that would rather kill his entire family with a crossbow than tell his girlfriend that he had been lying to her. You'll also read of the suburban housewife that endured thirty years of an abusive relationship before smashing her husband's skull with a hammer. There's the story of the Amish man, tormented by the threat of Hell, that killed his wife because he thought she was the devil. There's also the Roman Catholic priest that ritualistically butchered a nun, stabbed an upside-down cross into her chest, and anointed her with her own blood. Three stories in this volume take place in Washington State, one of which is of a young girl that ran away from her Seattle home in the 1970s. For thirty years, her parents believed she was a victim of Ted Bundy, until the real killer was finally caught. In another, a sexual sadist fancied himself a werewolf while he stalked and butchered his prey in unspeakable ways. Plus many more disturbing stories. The stories in this volume are revolting and disconcerting, but they're true. These things really happen in the world. Though we will never fully understand the criminal mind, at least we can be better informed. Scroll up to get your copy True Crime Case Histories Volume 6 is due out December 2020 and will feature 12 more short stories of; True Crime, Murder & Mayhem, Serial Killer Biographies, and True Murder Case Files.

Jones, Marcie Rendon, Mike Browne, and Vicki Hendricks. This book will leave you wondering if it’s ever really possible to know who’s behind the mask you’re allowed to see.

That’s also when she first learned that her father was the notorious serial killer known as BTK, a name he’d given himself that described the horrific way he committed his crimes: bind, torture, kill.

Download or read book William Bonin the True Story of the Freeway Killer written by Jack Rosewood and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-11-25 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1970s and early '80s, southern California was shocked when dead boys began turning up with disturbing regularity alongside some of the picturesque state's most heavily traveled freeways. Victims of sadistic torture, the dead boys and young men had been raped and strangled, and their untimely deaths were eventually attributed to the Freeway Killer, an elusive psychopath whose trail of death would go down in California history as one of the worst true crime stories in the country. While the Freeway Killer ultimately turned out to be three different men, one of them was truck driver William Bonin, one of the most prolific and sadistic among American serial killers. Bonin usually preferred to work with an accomplice, and the lust killer and his cronies brutally raped and tortured his victims - Bonin loved the sounds of their screams - before strangling them and dumping them on the side of the road like garbage. Bonin confessed to committing 21 murders in the span of just a year, although many experts believe he was responsible for the deaths of many more missing young men. He was executed in 1996, and in this detailed serial killer biography, you'll learn the background that might offer some understanding of what makes a man go off the rails and become a deranged lust killer. Of course, spine-tingling story of a man whose youngest victim was a 12-year-old who was waiting for a bus to take him to Disneyland might be one that causes you to sleep with the lights on for weeks after turning the final gruesome page.
