Book Introduction to Boston Strangler

Download or read book Introduction to Boston Strangler written by Gilad James, PhD and published by Gilad James Mystery School. This book was released on with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Boston Strangler was a notorious serial killer who terrorized Boston, Massachusetts, in the early 1960s. The killer was responsible for the deaths of at least 13 women between June 1962 and January 1964, and possibly more. The victims ranged in age from 19 to 85, and all were strangled with articles of their own clothing. The killer also sexually assaulted some of his victims. The media coverage of the killings and the investigation into the perpetrator became a cultural phenomenon at the time. The case inspired numerous books, movies, and television shows, and it remains one of the most infamous and mysterious murder cases in American history. The identity of the Boston Strangler was the subject of much speculation and investigation for years after the killings. Several men were considered to be suspects, but it was ultimately Albert DeSalvo who confessed to the murders in 1965. DeSalvo was a handyman in the Boston area who had a history of sexual assaults and other crimes. He claimed that he had committed the murders during a series of burglaries, but his confession was later disputed by some experts who argued that he may not have been the true killer. The mystery of the Boston Strangler continues to captivate true crime enthusiasts and historians alike, and the case remains one of the most intriguing and disturbing murder mysteries of the 20th century.

The Boston Strangler, Son of Sam, and Ted Bundy were just a few of his role models as he turned a computer into a deadly weapon that left no one safe and the law far behind. Only two women--Dr. Helen Hudson, a world-renowned criminologist, and Mary Jane Monahan, a tougher-than-tough female cop--could hope to stop him. But the killer welcomed their pursuit with open arms. For they would be the final trophies that would make him the most successful slayer of them all ..."--Page 4 of cover

However, unknown to the leader, a member of his elite inner circle lost his submissive the day before in a car accident. Disillusioned and let down when he realizes that they are not immortal, the man confronts the leader at a party he throws for the cult two days after they all achieved their immortality, only to find out that the leader knew all along that they were still mortal and had poisoned everyone at the party. Feeling betrayed, the man shoots and kills the leader before turning the gun on himself. The police, responding to the calls of shots fired, find everyone dead and a letter in the pocket of the man who had gone to confront the leader, confessing the entire story. Odd-numbered chapters in the book detail the sacrifices that this cult makes and their BDSM revelations. Even numbered chapters detail the police investigation and other goings-on in the story.

Download or read book Evil Serial Killers written by Charlotte Greig and published by Arcturus Publishing. This book was released on 2006-04-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our fascination with serial killers is at once disturbing and understandable: disturbing because, according to society's mores, we should condemn the killers' crimes and avoid all thought of their horrific actions, but understandable because we are so fascinated by their motives. What leads them to behave in such perverted ways? And what makes them become killers who strike again and again? Charlotte Greig has selected fifty of the world's most infamous serial killers, ranging from Jack the Ripper to Ted Bundy. When compared, it is easy to see similar themes emerging: the loners, David Berkowitz and Anatoly Onoprienko, who both wrought revenge on a society which they felt had rejected them; those who kill purely for sexual thrills, like Albert Fish or John Christie; and occult practitioners like the Chicago Rippers and Richard Ramirez who were inspired by macabre rituals to take their dark fantasies into even darker realities. Whatever the personal stories that emerge from this lineup of twisted individuals, Evil Serial Killers is a compelling testament, and warning, of the potential of human behaviour for true horror and pure evil. Featuring: • Ted Bundy • Harold Shipman • Ed Gein • Jack the Ripper • Aileen Wuornos • John Muhammad • Charles Cullen • Belle Gunness • Joseph Paul Franklin

Book excerpt: There have been countless crime dramas written about murder mysteries, but none written by two actual Police Chiefs. Co-Written by retired NYPD Deputy Chief John Cutter and retired City of Stamford Chief of Police Bob Nivakoff, The Squad Room touches on the real-life experiences of Chief Cutter and Chief Nivakoff, through the lens of fiction. The Squad Room tells the tale of NYPD Captain William “Bill” Morrison’s hunt to track down a ferocious serial killer and sexual predator that is terrorizing New York City. Morrison is a world-class investigator, a “Cop’s Cop,” with the respect of his peers, but his personal life is in disarray. His son, also a NYPD Officer, is dead, gunned down in the line of duty, leaving Bill a haunted shell of a man. His second marriage is in shambles as his only true loves are his children and “the job.” Morose, Morrison finds solace in an extra-marital affair, alcohol and the members of his Detective Squad, the men and women in blue that constitute his second family. You may believe you know what evil looks like, but The Squad Room shows you that the face of unspeakable horror can come in many forms. Morrison and his team are racing against time to identify and bring the murderer to justice. Meanwhile, his Detective Squad runs up against villains inside the system: a Chief and a Detective who got where they are by political maneuvering, rather than skill and merit. Cutter and Nivakoff don’t hold back—The Squad Room gives you a genuine insider’s view into the NYPD and the triumphs and tribulations that Police officers experience on a regular basis and the toll that policing takes on the mental and physical health of police officers and their families.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: VIOLENCE BEGETS VIOLENCE BEGETS VIOLENCE... A disturbed student shoots up his classroom -- and suddenly a wave of mass murder is sweeping through our nation's schools. A young child is taken from her home -- and for months afterward child abductions are frantically reported on an almost daily basis. A surfer is attacked by a shark -- and the public spends an entire summer fearing an onslaught of the deadly underwater predators. Why do the terrible events we see in the media always seem to lead to more of the same? Noted author and cultural behaviorist Loren Coleman explores how the media's over-saturated coverage of murders, suicides, and deadly tragedies makes an impact on our society. This is The Copycat Effect -- the phenomenon through which violent events spawn violence of the same type. From recognizing the emerging patterns of the Copycat Effect, to how we can deal with and counteract its consequences as individuals and as a culture, Loren Coleman has uncovered a tragic flaw of the information age -- a flaw which must be corrected before the next ripples of violence spread.

Book excerpt: This book is, quite simply, remarkable journalism, and remarkable writing. --Robert B. Parker An infamous murder spree. A monstrous hoax. The definitive book--updated with new evidence. "DeSalvo Is the Strangler!" declared the headlines after handyman Albert DeSalvo confessed to eleven brutal rape/murders that terrorized Boston from 1962 to 1964.
