This the first book to focus specifically on serial killers
motivated by monetary gain. Serial Killing for Profit: Multiple
Murder for Money addresses a gap in the existing literature by
documenting one dozen of the most notorious perpetrators of
commercial serial murder-murderers who kill to secure inheritances
and pensions, to sell possessions or even the body itself, or as
murderers-for-hire. In these pages, readers will encounter some of
the nation's most infamous and disturbing criminals, including
"America's first serial killer," Herman Mudgett; Raymond Fernandez
and Martha Beck, the "Honeymoon Killers;" Los Angeles's "Night
Stalker," Richard Ramirez; the "black widow" Blanche Taylor Moore;
and Dana Sue Gray, who killed three women for shopping money.
Author Dirk Gibson gets to the twisted heart of each case,
meticulously detailing the crimes, the victims, the hunt for the
killers, the distinctive variations on the motive of "killing for
money," and the lessons learned by investigators in each instance.
Everyone from professional investigators to true crime aficionados
will be riveted by these stunning accounts. Profiles 12 cases of
serial murder motivated by profit Provides ten tables of data that
collectively describe salient dimensions of the sample of murderers
examined in the book, and quantify their commercial motivation
Includes a selective bibliography of the resources used by the
author to write the book Offers a comprehensive index covering all
aspects of the murderers, their crimes, and the profit motive
behind them
