Book Description
The New York Times–bestselling true crime author reveals the gruesome tale of a family falling victim to assault and murder on the waters of Tampa Bay. For Joan Rogers and her two teenaged daughters, a Florida sunset cruise was a dream come true. While on a family vacation, they gladly accepted a ride on beautiful Tampa Bay with friendly boat owner Oba Chandler. But behind Chandler’s gracious façade lurked the twisted mind of a killer. As the sun set on the Gulf of Mexico, Chandler shut down the engines, dropped anchor . . . and turned into a sadistic torturer. Hog-tying and brutally raping all three, Chandler tossed them overboard—alive—with forty-pound cement blocks tied to their necks. But the waters of Tampa Bay refused to hold his monstrous secret, and after only three days, the bodies of his victims surfaced. Thanks to a dedicated team of detectives, and clues provided by Chandler’s neighbors, the depraved killer was apprehended before he could prey on his next victim.

Man Overboard

Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
Man Overboard tells the inside story of one of America’s most notorious murder cases in decades, providing unprecedented insight into the death of Greenwich native George Allen Smith IV on his honeymoon. He married Jennifer Hagel in June 2005. Both of them were young and beautiful. He came from an old-line Greenwich family; she, from blue-collar Cromwell and with a reputation for being a flirt. Just eight days after their wedding, their new life together disintegrated on their Royal Caribbean honeymoon cruise. The morning after several booze-fueled melees, a gruesome blood stain traced the awning below their cabin, and George had vanished. After four years of bitter legal wrangling with both families, Royal Caribbean recently handed over its files to the FBI, which announced that Smith’s murder is “very active and open.” Man Overboard provides an extraordinary look into a case that has captured the public imagination and raised provocative questions about the unregulated cruise industry, leading directly to the historic Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act signed by President Obama.

Now the first rat was in the corner gnawing away at the newest piece of meat it had acquired, but Bruce continued to pay attention to the dead rat.He stood by the main cage with his hand over his mouth. It was the cage holding the first two rats that were injected with the new, tweaked substance.After less than thirty seconds the "dead" rat's rear leg began twitching incessantly, and soon it lifted its head and glared at its opponent, its milky white eyes reflecting Satan himself. It got on all fours, drew back, and flew at its cage-mate with a ferocity that Bruce had never seen.The tables had violently turned.
