Book Description
AN ANTHOLOGY OF TRUE CRIME KIDNAPPINGSTHE KIDNAPPING OF CHARLES LINDBERGH JROn March 1, 1932, Charles Lindbergh Jr. was taken from his bedroom, killed, and dumped in some nearby woods. All without anyone inside the house hearing a single peep. It was a case that griped the entire nation, and baffled many for years. Although one man was charged and executed for the crime, well into the 21st century many still doubt he acted alone. While many modern investigators continue to try to piece the events of that eventful night together to discover the truth, whether we will ever know truly what happened that evening remains to be seen. The crime would touch a fear lurking in every parent: somehow, without warning or reason, their child would be taken from them. Never to return.This is what happened that night...THE CLEVELAND KIDNAPPINGSAriel Castro kidnapped and imprisoned three girls between the years 2003-2013. He kept all three captive in his house on a residential street in Cleveland, Ohio where he raped and tortured them. Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus were held until May 6, 2013. Berry escaped with her six-year-old daughter and was able to call the police. The other girls were rescued, and Castro was arrested within a matter of hours.THE KIDNAPPING OF BOBBY GREENLEASEThe story of Bobby Greenlease is that of a tragedy. This young boy was taken from the one place a child should always feel safe; a school. The heart of the collective world was shattered while witnessing the terrible, sickening events that were unfolding. Only monsters could do such terrible things. Who would do this? How could someone stoop to this level? Most importantly, why would someone resort to this? In 1950's rural America, crimes like this just didn't happen. The turmoil that would ensue after this horrible act is one of confusion, betrayal, and heart sinking results. An innocent boy was gone much too soon, and two senseless criminals were gone much too late.THE MCKAY KIDNAPPINGThe McKay kidnapping is one of Britain's most notorious cases of kidnap and, perhaps, murder. The story itself is interesting enough- it involves mistaken identity, lords and ladies, newspaper magnates and mystery. But the story of how two brothers were punished for the crime, despite a body not having been found (and not ever found to this day), is what sets this case apart.KIDNAPPER & KILLER : JERRY BRUDOSA father, husband, son, an electrical engineer, and a murderer. Those words do not begin to describe serial killer Jerry Brudos (a.k.a. The Lust Killer). No one expected this average looking, middle-aged man to be a heartless murderer, but "serial killer" was not the only category that this evil man fell under. You'll also find Mr. Brudos' name under: "necrophiliac", "fetishist", "rapist", "crossdresser", and "psychopath". Jerome Brudos' mental state foreshadowed dangerous signs ever since he was only a teenager, but a long life of people brushing off his odd desires gave birth to a monster that's almost too evil for words.
