Als Erich Baumeister (13) im Herbst 1994 in einem Waldstück auf dem Anwesen seiner Familie spielte, stieß er auf ein teilweise vergrabenes menschliches Skelett. Er berichtete seiner Mutter Julie von diesem verstörenden Fund, die ihren Ehemann Herb daraufhin ansprach. Er erklärte ihr, das Skelett habe seinem verstorbenen Vater gehört, einem Anästhesisten, dem es zu Forschungszwecken gedient habe. Er habe nicht gewusst, was er damit tun solle, also habe er es im Garten vergraben. Julie glaubte ihm.

From harrowing heists to murderous mayhem, this collection of true crime stories will have you on the edge of your seat as you discover why two criminal minds are scarier than one—especially when they belong to lovers.

Journey into the darkest corners of the human psyche with thirty-six meticulously researched accounts of unspeakable crimes that shocked communities and challenged our understanding of evil. From sprawling estates to quiet small towns, these cases reveal how murderous intent can hide behind the most ordinary facades—sometimes in places we least expect. You'll hear about The Butcher of Aberdeen, where a troubled woman's violence escalates to an act so grotesque that even veteran police officers are left traumatized.

Now with a new afterword read by the author. From the author of “top-drawer true crime” (Booklist) books comes the definitive account of Ed Gein—the man whose shocking crimes inspired Psycho, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs. The year was 1957. To his Wisconsin...

In July of 1991, the country was shocked by the unfathomable crimes of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. But no one was more shocked than his parents. In A Father's Story, the listener becomes witness to the incremental unraveling of a parent's image of their child, and the thousand different reactions that follow. In his attempt to understand the nature of his son's psychosis, Lionel Dahmer methodically scrutinizes every possible contributing factor to his son's madness. His desperation is palpable as he searches for clues in the emotional, psychological, and genetic landscape of his son's life.

When he was arrested in July 1991, Jeffrey Dahmer had a severed head in the refrigerator, two more in the freezer, two skulls and a skeleton in a filing cabinet. But if anything could be more disturbing than the brute horror of this scene, it was the evidence that Dahmer had been using these human remains not only for sexual gratification but as part of a dark ritual of his own devising - to furnish a shrine to himself.

“Sam, could you do me a favor?” Thus begins a story that has now become part of America's true-crime hall of fame. It is a gory, grotesque tale befitting a Stephen King novel. It is also a David and Goliath saga - the story of a young lawyer fresh from the public defender's office whose first client in private practice turns out to be the worst serial killer in our nation's history. This is a gripping true crime narrative that reenacts the gruesome killings and the famous trial that shocked a nation.

Samuel Little was serving life in prison for killing three women, when he began to confess to a string of murders. And once the admissions started, the list didn’t stop - his total murder count reached 93 victims across 19 US States. Most of them were vulnerable women - sex workers, drug addicts, or both.

There is little more terrifying than those who hunt, stalk, and snatch their prey under the cloak of darkness. These hunters search not for animals, but for the touch, taste, and empowerment of human flesh. They are cannibals, vampires, and monsters, and they walk among us. These serial killers are not mythical beasts with horns and shaggy hair. They are people living among society, going about their day-to-day activities until nightfall. They are the Dennis Rader's, the fathers, husbands, church-going members of the community.

In Obsession, John Douglas once again takes us fascinatingly behind the scenes, focusing his expertise on predatory crimes, primarily against women. With a deep sense of compassion for the victims and an uncanny understanding of the perpetrators, Douglas looks at the obsessions that lead to rape...

Mord ist schon schrecklich genug, wenn er von Erwachsenen begangen wird, doch das Konzept erreicht eine völlig neue Ebene erschütternder Morbidität, wenn sich herausstellt, dass der Mörder ein junger Junge oder ein junges Mädchen ist. Ist es das Ergebnis schwerer Traumata, die sich auf die makaberste Art und Weise manifestieren? Ist es die Folge einer schweren psychischen Störung? Oder wurden sie von den Handlungen der Menschen beeinflusst, bei denen sie aufwuchsen?
