In March 1944, as the Nazis occupied Paris, the French Police and Fire Brigade were called to investigate a vile-smelling black smoke that had been pouring from the chimney of 21 Rue Le Sueur for days. The thick black smoke was rising from a series of wood-burning stoves throughout the property that were stocked with human remains. The homeowner was Dr. Marcel Petiot, an admired and charismatic physician. When questioned, Dr. Petiot claimed that he was a part of the Resistance and the bodies they discovered belonged to Nazi collaborators that he killed for the cause.

When Ruby was a child growing up in Miami, she saw a boy from her school struggling against the ocean waves while his parents were preoccupied. Instead of helping him, Ruby dove under the water and held his ankle down until he drowned. She waited to feel guilty for it, but she never did. And, as Ruby will argue in her senior thesis while studying psychology at Yale, guilt is sort of like eating ice cream while on a diet—if you're already feeling bad, why not eat the whole carton? And so, the bodies start to stack up.

Sharon Simpson spent 15 of her younger years in Morgan City, Louisiana, a small, blue-collar town along the Atchafalaya River Delta. Morgan City was living large during the big oil days in the 1970s, yet no one expected what was about to happen to the town. The booming oil industry was desperate for workers to fill positions and used a “trawling net approach” to hire any warm body - as long as the work was getting done on schedule. The heart of the issue - money and greed - led to the hiring of a damaged man who went on a spree, raping and murdering several local teens...

As the saying goes, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." The phrase is never more true for the women covered in this audiobook, all of whom harbor a lust for blood and the willingness to kill.

Psychopathy and violence are categories often reserved for men, but as this audiobook will show you, women can be just as evil as their male counterparts.

Er is een groot verschil tussen moordenaars die één moord plegen, massamoordenaars die veel mensen tegelijk ombrengen en seriemoordenaars die zorgvuldig gekozen slachtoffers volgens een ritueel vermoorden. Een seriemoordenaar is een kille jager die geniet van de jacht, wordt gedreven door een ritueel of een bepaalde fixatie en steeds afhankelijker wordt van de kick die het moorden hem geeft.

Daher beginne ich alle meine True-Crime-Bücher mit einem kurzen Warnhinweis. Die meisten Nachrichtenartikel und Fernsehsendungen über wahre Verbrechen klammern die abscheulichen Details der wirklich schrecklichen Verbrechen aus. In meinen Büchern beschönige ich die Tatsachen jedoch nicht, egal wie widerlich sie auch sein mögen. Ich versuche, meinen Lesern eine klare und genaue Beschreibung zu geben, wie verschlagen die Mörder in Wirklichkeit waren. Ich gebe mein Bestes, um nichts auszulassen. Die Geschichten in diesen Büchern sind nichts für zartbesaitete Menschen.

What makes a serial killer? There is a huge difference between killers who kill once in the heat of the moment, mass murderers who slaughter many people at once, and serial killers who follow a specific pattern to kill carefully selected victims.

Seriemoordenaars beginnen vaak met een paar vrij willekeurige moorden. Gaandeweg zoeken ze uit aan welke rituelen ze het meeste plezier beleven. Daarna stalken ze hun zorgvuldig uitgekozen slachtoffers of gaan ze ernaar op zoek speciale plekken, waar bijvoorbeeld prostituees of kinderen komen. Elke seriemoordenaar heeft zijn eigen unieke methoden en routines: hij pikt zijn slachtoffers bijvoorbeeld op bij bushaltes, kiest voor vrouwen met lang blond haar, bewaart trofeeën of snijdt zijn slachtoffers in stukken en eet ze op. Die signatuur kan leiden tot een aanhouding.

From singling out victims at bus stops, targeting women with long, blonde hair, saving trophies, or dismembering and even eating their victims, each serial killer set a unique ritual for their murder, and these rituals are what betrays them in the end.

Understand history's most enigmatic serial killer. In December of 1968, a serial killer began orchestrating a campaign of terror in the San Francisco Bay Area. Not satisfied with the simple act of murder, he taunted law enforcement and the public by writing letters to local newspapers. Through often cryptic and bizarre content - including four ciphers, three (now two) of which have never been solved - the psychopath played a twisted game. Reporters dubbed the man the "Cipher Killer", but the murderer chose a different name for himself: the Zodiac.

Diejenigen unter Ihnen, die mit meinen früheren Büchern der „True Crime“-Serie vertraut sind, wissen, dass ich immer mit einem kurzen Wort der Warnung beginne: Echte Kriminalfälle sind nicht für jeden etwas. In Fernsehsendungen und Nachrichtenartikeln werden die grausamen Details oft ausgelassen, weil sie für den Durchschnittszuschauer oder -leser zu viel sein könnten.

Un audiolibro che prova a fare il punto su uno dei misteri più cupi della storia italiana. Un'indagine sul campo fatta tra le pieghe di una regione, il Veneto, in cui certi fenomeni eversivi sembrano non essere ancora del tutto sopiti e che, dopo la tremenda scia di sangue lasciata da Ludwig, ha rimosso la memoria di quel terrore assurdo e inspiegabile. Una rimozione pericolosa, come purtroppo hanno dimostrato ampiamente i fatti di cronaca degli ultimi anni.

In 1974, Dennis Lynn Rader stalked and murdered a family of four in Wichita, Kansas. Since adolescence, he had read about serial killers and imagined becoming one.

He remained on the loose for 30 years.

If you’re familiar with the previous books in the True Crime Case Histories series, you already know that I start each book with a brief warning. Real true crime is not for everyone. The stories in this book represent humanity at its absolute worst. Pure evil. Television crime shows and news articles often skip the gruesome parts of true crime stories. The real details are just too grisly for the average viewer or reader.

At a time when Edwardian Britain seemed a golden place, basking in its imperial glory, Dr Hawley Harvey Crippen and his wife, Belle, lived among the suburban villas of North London, renting a house at 39 Hilldrop Crescent. After supper on 31st January 1910, their friends went home and Crippen killed Belle with poison, dismembered her body and buried some of her remains beneath the brick floor of the coal cellar.

Christopher Berry-Dee offers case studies in some of the most infamous mass killings of the past 50 years, from school massacres to workplace killings, hate crimes to familicides. In doing so, he demonstrates, chillingly, that such murders are almost impossible to predict, and therefore almost impossible to prevent.

Best-selling writer and criminologist Christopher Berry-Dee turns his attention to a new kind of victim: the wives or partners of serial murderers who remained unaware of exactly who they had fallen for until after their other half's arrest or, in some cases, conviction, for multiple murders.

A Correggio, fra il 1939 e il 1940, Leonarda Cianciulli uccise tre donne, impadronendosi dei loro beni e distruggendone i corpi. Nel 1946 il processo alla "saponificatrice" ebbe una risonanza enorme in un'Italia che, ormai uscita dal fascismo, riscopriva il fascino un po' morboso dei grandi fattacci di nera. A fare di quest'assassina seriale un archetipo della criminalità femminile non è solo la particolare efferatezza dei tre delitti, ma l'immagine complessiva che la giustizia, la psichiatria, i giornali e l'opinione pubblica restituirono della vicenda.

As investigators brought out the bagged remains of several dozen young men from a small Chicago ranch home and paraded them in front of a crowd of TV reporters and spectators, attention quickly turned to the owner of the house.
