ThI have read so many books on Jack the Ripper, I will rarely pick one up. However, I saw that this book doesn't focus on the Ripper but the victims. The author takes what is known about the women and puts it in a readable manner. I had no idea that not all of his victims were prostitutes. The "media" at the time changed the narrative to link the crimes. All the women endured horrible poverty and suffered from external forces. I recommend this one highly, even if you have read all there is to read on the Ripper....more

I have seen this case on Dateline, and I am still shMan and I thought the Ada police department was incompetent, convicting a person based on dreams. I have seen this case on Dateline, and I am still shocked on how the police plus the prosecution just ignored the real facts. They all were determined to railroad the husband Russ straight into prison without passing Go or collecting two hundred dollars. I bet to this day they all claim they didn't make any mistakes. Just gross. Excellent information on the case. It had to be hard to collect all of Pam's lies in one place. I hope she enjoys prison. Hopefully she is housed with Bertha, who enjoys slapping her around daily....more

Implicated in the deaths of as many as 300 patients, he was also perhaps the most prolific serial killer in American history. He ushered so many people into the great beyond he cannot recall most of their names nor faces. Using medication available on the nursing floors, he injected patients with whatever was on hand, forcing them to code.
Charlie was hired and fired from more than 10 different hospitals and nursing homes. Not warning the next one of their suspicions. In most cases, hospitals shredded paperwork and covered up Cullen's crimes. This is not only the true story of a nurse that killed the patients he was supposed to care for, but how a healthcare system placed money over patient's lives....more

Cults recruit more educated and high-powerAn estimated 2 to 5 million Americans have been involved in a cult at some point. That is one scary number. Cults recruit more educated and high-powered career people than you would think. One way they successfully recruit is by having team building programs that employers use. I always knew my employers had ulterior motives behind those exercises. I am dropping someone the next time I am made to do the "trust fall". ...more
After reading so much true crime, I realized I never stopped to think about what happens afterwards. I always assumed the police department or coronerAfter reading so much true crime, I realized I never stopped to think about what happens afterwards. I always assumed the police department or coroner's office has some division of clean up crews that come in to handle that. I was wrong. Before companies like Aftermath existed, families or volunteers would be the one left to scrub the walls or cutout carpets. I can't begin to imagine having to clean up a loved one's home after they have been murdered. I can usually deal with whatever is thrown at me, but that would break me.
In this book, we are following along with a true crime writer as he shadows Aftermath Inc. crews. He rode with and helped clean up all types of scenes. Even one that involved a man and an airplane engine. We never stop to think about the guys behind the scenes that do the dirty work, so we don't have to....more
