Book Description
Maine is well known for its murder mysteries. Most have heard of Sarah Ware, others who read true crime; know of the Smuttynose Island Murders. In 1905, after both of these cases from Maine, were but a memory, another horrible murder occurred in a small town in Maine. Few have heard of the 17 year old Mattie Hackett from Readfield. In its day, it was compared to the biggest Unsolved Murder Cases Maine had ever seen. Papers all over the country, some as far away as California carried the story of what happened to poor Mattie Hackett one night in August 1905. This is the true account of the events surrounding the murder of Mattie Hackett.

Book Description
This is a true account of Maine's most famous historical murder cases. The first two chapters look into Maine's first axe murders the Purington Massacre. Then every aspect of the Smuttynose case is covered from the murders, arrest, trial, jailbreak, sentencing and double hanging on the gallows of Maine State Prison at Thomaston. Louis Wagner was joined on the Gallows with another Maine Axe murderer, John True Gordon of Thorndike. Wagner in one of the most charismatic psychopaths I have ever heard of. After his conviction, he convinced everyone he met, reporters, prison officials, even the Warden that he was completely innocent of his crimes. Louis swore that one day the truth would come out and the next year a deathbed confession was printed across the nation, if true would exonerate him of his crimes. This is the intensely bizarre true account of the axe murders that shocked a nation.

Book Description
In 1951 a wave of Phantom Strangler Cases would begin. As they swept across the Northeast few clues would be left in their wake. In 1963 a suspect would be caught and confess to murders from Maine to Louisiana. Although he was in Boston for the first of the Boston Stranglings, he would not talk with the Boston Detectives. In 1965 Stranglings would begin again in Maine and continue on to 1971 some that are still unsolved to this day. With this Book I intend to bring these long forgotten cases back out of the past and shed new light on the facts and evidence, as well as those who committed them.
