With a gritty, raw, and compelling account of the lives and crimes of four terrifying murderers, this eerie and disturbing collection paints a vivid picture of their heinous crimes, along with the chilling psychology that drove them to prey on their fellow men and women. Shedding light on the lives and upbringing of Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, Richard “Night Stalker” Ramirez, and killer clown John Wayne Gacy, this audiobook delves into the grisly details of their killing sprees, as well as the warped ideas that drove them to murder.

Ted Bundy was one of the most infamous rapists and sexual predators, necrophiles, and murderers in the western part of the United States. Having been abused in his childhood and fed pornographic material from an early age, his crimes became more daring, violent, and vicious as he got a thrill from dismembering or sexually tormenting one victim after another.

The infamous double murder that inspired elementary school rhymes is a controversial one: partially because of the insidious nature and grossness of the crime and on the other hand because some people still believe the defendant is innocent. There are many reasons to believe why Lizzie killed both her parents with an axe, and there are some that could be used to argue that she didn’t.

Initially diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, and after a separation of his parents, Edmund Kemper already showed his twisted mind at 15 years old, when he murdered both his grandparents, who were taking care of him. Whether through nature or nurture, this man didn’t show a promising future from the get-go. But perhaps nobody could have suspected the horrors he would inflict on his many victims later in his life.

På våren 1990 förövades ett uppmärksammat brott i Helsingforstrakten. En söndagsmorgon anmäler en person in till polisen i Helsingfors att det ligger en livlös man i ett dike. Fyndet ska snart utvecklas till vad pressen kallade för "Guldmordsfallet", men i själva verket var det fråga om två mord. I denna artikel skildras hur fallet utreddes och behandlades i rätten. Den person som greps för brotten, erkände inte någon skuld, utan dömdes mot sitt nekande med stöd av de bevis som polisen kunde lägga fram.

Det är sällan mord förövas på Island. Därför väckte det stor uppmärksamhet samtidigt som det satte skräck i befolkningen den 18 januari 1968, då programledaren i radions lunchnyheter kunde meddela att en taxichaufför påträffats skjuten och dödad i sin bil. I Nordisk kriminalkrönika berättar poliser själva om sina mest uppmärksammade, omskakande, och svåra fall. Nordisk Kriminalkrönika är ett historiskt verk.

In the late 1970s, a string of seemingly unconnected murders had Harlem police and federal authorities at their wits' end until they realized several commonalities. The victims were all either Mafia members or potential witnesses of Mafia activity and they'd all been shot from .22 pistols traced back to a single private sale in Florida. From these details, the FBI and police were able to build a profile of a rogue sect of Mafia hitmen known as the East Harlem Purple Gang.

In 1861, the police of a rural French village tore their way into the woodside home of Martin Dumollard. Inside, they found chaos. Paths had been carved through mounds of bloodstained clothing, reaching as high as the ceiling in some places.

The reverberations from Fred West's crimes continue to this day. The story never dies. West was perhaps one of Britain's most evil, feared serial killers. His horrifying compulsion to kidnap, rape and torture his victims before murdering them showed a savagery and cruelty that can barely be believed. His 'House of Horrors' at 25 Cromwell Street, Gloucester, became a burial ground for the women who fell into his hands. This new publication of Geoffrey Wansell's iconic, best-selling true-crime masterpiece comes 30 years after West was arrested, in 1992.

Detta är historien om ett mord som aldrig klarades upp och som mänskligt att döma heller aldrig kan bevisas. Man hittade nämligen inte något lik. Mordet -- det var nämligen mord med till visshet gränsande sannolikhet -- väckte stort uppseende när det förövades år 1814 och det blev samtalsämne i hela Norge under många år därefter. Ett av skälen till uppseendet var att de inblandade tillhörde personer högt upp på den sociala rangskalan.

Tre dånande pistolskott som avlossades i snabb följd och som följdes av ytterligare ett efter en kort paus satte stopp för idyllen i Höjbjerg, ett mondänt förstadskvarter i Århus. De första skotten dödade 43-åriga fru Ulla Jensen och det fjärde skottet sårade hennes 51-åriga hemhjälp, fru Petersen, allvarligt. Detta utgjorde upptakten till en av de största och mest omfattande utredningar i Århuspolisens histo­ria. Ungefär 18 000 personer förhördes och tips från allmänheten strömmade in.

La storia di Gianfranco Stevanin non è quella che si potrebbe immaginare quando si sente parlare di serial killer. Stevanin, infatti, era per tutti un ragazzo normale, tanto che potrebbe essere definito "un tranquillo serial killer di provincia". Al suo paese l'avevano soprannominato Elvis per quella sua espressione da bamboccione, conosceva tutti e nessuno aveva mai sospettato nulla di strano. Fino a quando la polizia non iniziò a rinvenire una serie di cadaveri di donne in quello che venne subito ribattezzato il campo degli orrori.

Samuel Little was serving life in prison for killing three women, when he began to confess to a string of murders.

In 1922, Major Herbert Armstrong, a Hay-on-Wye solicitor, was found guilty of, and executed for, poisoning his wife, Katharine, with arsenic. Armstrong's case has all the ingredients of a classic murder mystery, from a plot by Agatha Christie or Dorothy Sayers (indeed some aspects of his story appear in Sayers' Unnatural Death). It is a near-perfect whodunnit.
