Case Closed: Serial Killers Captured Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
When a Serial Killer is active in a community it is extremely scary for everyone. This book focuses on Serial Killers who have been captured and some of the most notorious and ruthless killers in history.

Serial killers stay close to home and their victims are random. Dennis Rader found all his victims in Kansas not far from the Wichita home he shared with his wife and two kids. Rader, the president of his local church, knocked on his victim's doors and they simply let him in. John Wayne Gacy, met many of his 33 victims, all young men and boys, at charity events where he appeared dressed a clown. After luring them to his house and murdering them he stuffed them under his Cook County, Illinois home. Gary Leon Ridgway, the Green River Killer, was convicted of strangling 49 random women he met in Washington. He confessed to killing 71 but authorities believe the number of victims could be over 90. Jeffrey Dahmer of Milwaukee admitted to killing and cannibalizing 17 young men and boys before he was arrested.

Need a true crime hit? This should not disappoint serial-killer junkies but don't expect sensationalist accounts of these creeps. The victims are the most important and tragic figures in these cases and the author makes sure they are acknowledged with respect. Lots of good introduction to the most notorious serial killers, such as:

John Wayne Gacy - The Killer Clown
Ted Bundy
Donald Henry Gaskins - The Redneck Charles Manson
Gary Ridgway - The Green River Killer
Jeffrey Dahmer - The Milwaukee Monster
Dennis Rader - The BTK Killer
David Berkowitz - The Son of Sam
John Allen Muhammad and Lee Malvo - The D.C. Snipers
Tsutomu Miyazaki - The Little Girl Murderer
Andrei Chikatilo - The Butcher of Rostov
Ottis Toole and Henry Lee Lucas - The Homosexual Crime Team

It' my first book I was reading from you. Incredible what humans can do to their fellows. Deep respect for the detectives, who has to chase these sick minds.

5.0 out of 5 stars A gruesome account of closed cases

I bought this book a few days ago. I don't normally go for this kind of book but many of the murderers caught in this I had heard about in the news and had wondered how much of it came about. what RJ has done by compiling these cases is shown that even those with a sick and twisted mind can and do get caught. Sometimes it can take years but the police and investigators never stop looking and probing. RJ has done a wonderful job of research and putting together the case files with the information. Thank you for an informative read! Highly recommend it to others!

5.0 out of 5 stars Just like your sat next to the author

The same straight fact style I enjoy RJ Parkers books for, this time with a little more of the authors comments through out the book as though you were sat next to him with him recounting the tales to you. Would be an excellent talking book (perhaps it is). We are treated to back ground of the case, killers involved without pages of wasted woffle to stride through with the satisfaction the cases are closed. Another fast paced read, I thoroughly recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clear and concise but extremely confronting for sensitive people.

Written in a clear and concise style by RJ Parker Phd, this book is not for the faint hearted as the author writes graphically of the evil deeds perpetrated by these deeply disturbed individuals. The extent of their depravity is surely an indictment of our human world as all killers had traumatic childhoods which grew into full blown psychosis as adults. At issue is human behaviour and this condition needs urgent attention to prevent a world of terminal psychosis.
