The number of victims in the terrible Las Vegas rampage stands at 58 killed and over 500 wounded. Investigation into this horrendous massacre continues while the nation ponders the motives and purpose of the killer, one Stephen Paddock, 64, who put a bullet into his brain as police broke into his barricaded hotel room. An arsenal of weapons was found there, as well as in his home where police also discovered bomb-making material. Paddock’s plans or his ultimate goal are currently unknown. He seems to fall into that unique category of killers who have no criminal history, appear outwardly “normal” and fail to draw attention to themselves prior to their crimes. These are probably some of the most difficult cases that investigators face because the reasons for what they do can often seem trivial and far out of proportion to their crimes. What motivates people to kill innocent strangers? How can they be consumed by so much hatred?
Mystery Solved After 100 Years
Mystery Solved After 100 Years
How an online service and its members can solve an intractable mystery from 100 years ago. I had succeeded in finding the identities of some people who had been shielded from the public. For example, Eliot Ness had kept the name of the shocking serial killer who called himself “The American Sweeney Todd” a secret for almost forty years. It took me a few years, but I learned who it was.
The scariest character in Killer in the Holy City by Mark Gado
From a writer’s perspective, fiction allows a writer to create Lester Beach, the scariest character in Killer in the Holy City from several real criminals enhanced by the writer’s imagination. We’re not bound by the chains of non-fiction. What I mean by that is when we write true crime or historical pieces, we are compelled to stay within the bounds of what is exactly true and accurate. There is no wriggle room in non-fiction; everything that is written must be accurate and all the facts, especially quotes must be correctly cited and attributed. A writer cannot label a suspect a “murderer” unless he or she was convicted in a court of law of that crime. If we say that a trial took place on a certain date and was conducted by “Judge Brown,” then we have to be sure those events actually took place where and when we said they did.
Torture of a child in Killer in the Holy City: The Truth behind the Fiction
Dwayne Deveraux is a character in Killer in the Holy City, a novel that former Detective Mark Gado and I wrote about a serial killer in Charleston. Charleston is known as the “Holy City” because of its unique religious tolerance from colonial times. Deveraux is a good-looking, polished real estate lawyer. He is also a suspect in a series of murders. Why would he be a suspect in the murders of wealthy women whose bodies were displayed in sexually degrading poses? Because he hates and defiles the women who put their trust in him. When Deveraux’s girlfriend threatened to leave him, he put drops of acid on the head of her baby girl. He threatened her with what he would do if she left him. He’d ruin her face and the face of her daughter with acid.

Ever Wonder About What a Serial Killer Thinks?
Yes? Then CONFESSIONS OF A SERIAL KILLER: The Untold Story of Dennis Rader, the BTK Killer is a must-read. Dr. Katherine Ramsland has created a remarkable book. She has captured the thoughts, motives, and fantasies of the notorious Bind Torture Kill serial murderer. Over years of developing a collaboration with Rader, she acts as his confessor, criminal psychologist, and biographer.
This book is not about a criminal expert interpreting what a serial killer says. It is primarily Dennis Rader’s commentary about himself. When his words deviate from facts, Ramsland corrects the account. I cannot think of any other nonfiction book with such insight into the thoughts of a psychopath.
