A serial killer fanatic lured Julia back to his home before killing and dismembering her with the help of an accomplice. Explore the twisted minds of Robert and Stephen Spahalski, a case of identical twins who were bound by blood - but united by their disturbing criminal acts. Read about the head-spinning web of deceit crafted by Dalia Dippolito, a woman whose cunning manipulation and determination to kill her husband will shock you.

Uncover the truth behind the tragic and senseless murder of Angela Samota, a young woman whose life was brutally cut short, with unimaginable cruelty. Decades passed with Angela’s killer free to roam the streets... but would advancements in DNA help snare her murderer and bring them to justice?

It was the family's first trip out of their home state of Ohio, where they crossed paths with a heinous individual who had evil intentions for the trio. Then, I cover the story of a brother who confessed to killing his younger sister. The only problem was that the DNA found on the body suggested otherwise.

In this installment, I'll cover the story of a female spree killer, whose lust for blood saw her take the lives of three men - and try to murder two more unsuspecting victims. The purpose of her crimes? In her own words, it was for "fun." I'll also delve into a most frustrating crime - a cold case dating back to 1968 - where a teen girl was mercilessly murdered by an unknown assailant. While I find cold cases frustrating due to the lack of closure they bring, crimes as horrific as this ought to be dredged up from the archives of true crime. To forget them is to abandon hope of the killer being brought to justice. Come with me to 1970s Texas to learn about the shocking serial killer known as "The Pied Piper." This criminal sought teenage boys to carry out his wicked crimes and even enlisted the help of a teenager to lure youngsters to his home. What would then occur in his house of horrors is nothing short of nightmarish. The ending to this case is compatible with a twisted horror movie. Then there's the disturbing case of the Welsh cannibal. The man lured his victim back to a hotel room with him before barbarically attacking her. The hotel owner heard the screams coming from room seven, so she unlocked the door only to be greeted with an awfully bloody sight. She raced to call the police, screaming down the phone, "He's eating her." Join me in understanding more about these crimes, as well as six more lesser-known cases, in Unbelievable Crimes Volume Six. As with all content covering true crime, this book contains descriptions of violence, assaults, and murder.

You’ll learn about the twisted tale of a woman whose desperation for motherhood led her down a path of wicked deception and murder. The culprit in this case made herself appear pregnant, showed friends and family fake ultrasounds and went as far as having a gender reveal party for the baby she wasn’t having. This tragic tale culminates in a truly barbaric and gruesome crime pulled straight out of a nightmare. Follow the story of Sarah Stern, a young woman whose life was cut short by the unimaginable betrayal of a friend she trusted. The search for justice would unearth a series of chilling revelations and deceitful schemes that led to her untimely and horrifying end. To her attackers, Sarah’s life was worth a mere few thousand dollars. Explore the deranged tale of a young man whose violent and brutal crimes show complete and utter disregard for human life - even the lives of those closest to him. Unbelievably, this criminal carried out one of his brutal attacks while on bail - for another murder he’d been detained for. I’ll also cover the harrowing and frustrating ordeal of a kidnapping victim who endured unimaginable abuse and torment at the hands of her sadistic captor. In a true crime rarity, the victim would survive her nightmare, and her resilience and strength would see her pursue justice relentlessly.

Book Unbelievable Crimes Volume Seven

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigate some of the most horrific but unheard-of tales of true crime in Unbelievable Crimes Volume Seven. In the seventh installment of this series, I’ll visit some twisted cases that expose the wickedness some humans are capable of. From savage attacks and kidnapping to homicidal teens, I’m delving deep into lesser-known crimes and unearthing the depravity of the relatively unheard-of criminals. When you think you can’t be shocked by true crime tales, think again. One such crime took place in 2017 in Lancashire, England. A young woman and her boyfriend were violently attacked for no other reason than their style of clothing. The beating they received was prolonged and brutal - simply because the couple wore gothic clothing. Another deviant crime I’ll cover is straight out of a thriller movie. A mother of two is savagely beaten by her abusive ex-husband, kidnapped, and taken to a storage unit. She’s locked inside and left to die in the damp, cold container. Can she escape before the freezing temperatures get her? Or will her violent ex succeed in his attempt to end her life? Then there’s the gruesome case of a businesswoman abducted in Scotland in 2011. She was tortured in unimaginable ways before her murder. But why, and who would feel such anger toward her that they’d put her through such a cruel ordeal before ending her life? Learn more about these crimes, as well as other lesser-known cases, in Unbelievable Crimes Volume Seven. Please remember that this book describes real-life violence, assaults, and murder. For those new to the series, Unbelievable Crimes is written by a former small-town journalist turned true crime enthusiast. The series tackles hard-to-hear true tales that evaded headline news (mostly) despite the (or perhaps because of) barbarity of the crime.

  • Pages : 480 pages

Download or read book The Man from the Train written by Bill James and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-09-19 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Edgar Award finalist for Best Fact Crime, this “impressive…open-eyed investigative inquiry wrapped within a cultural history of rural America” (The Wall Street Journal) shows legendary statistician and baseball writer Bill James applying his analytical acumen to crack an unsolved century-old mystery surrounding one of the deadliest serial killers in American history. Between 1898 and 1912, families across the country were bludgeoned in their sleep with the blunt side of an axe. Some of these cases—like the infamous Villisca, Iowa, murders—received national attention. But most incidents went almost unnoticed outside the communities in which they occurred. Few people believed the crimes were related. And fewer still would realize that all of these families lived within walking distance to a train station. When celebrated true crime expert Bill James first learned about these horrors, he began to investigate others that might fit the same pattern. Applying the same know-how he brings to his legendary baseball analysis, he empirically determined which crimes were committed by the same person. Then after sifting through thousands of local newspapers, court transcripts, and public records, he and his daughter Rachel made an astonishing discovery: they learned the true identity of this monstrous criminal and uncovered one of the deadliest serial killers in America. “A suspenseful historical account” (Publishers Weekly, starred review), The Man from the Train paints a vivid, psychologically perceptive portrait of America at the dawn of the twentieth century, when crime was regarded as a local problem, and opportunistic private detectives exploited a dysfunctional judicial system. James shows how these cultural factors enabled such an unspeakable series of crimes to occur, and his groundbreaking approach to true crime will convince skeptics, amaze aficionados, and change the way we view criminal history. “A beautifully written and extraordinarily researched narrative…This is no pure whodunit, but rather a how-many-did-he-do” (Buffalo News).
