WITH PHOTOS Three complete short stories by Investigation
Discovery's Dark Minds show host M. Williams with an introduction
to the collection by New York Times bestselling author Gregg Olsen.
DANCE WITH THE DEVIL In August 1982, a 30-year-old woman, Jane
Goodwin, was found murdered in her Newark, New Jersey apartment.
Her killer had strangled Jane until she passed out. Then,
reportedly, he ripped open her blouse, posed her with her breasts
exposed, and repeatedly stabbed Jane in the chest. He left no
fingerprints or DNA-just a shattered, grieving family. Over the
next 19 years, three other women were attacked in a similar
fashion. Two of them, Karen Osman (at Rutgers University in Newark)
and Carmen Rodriquez (in Hartford, Connecticut) died at this
monster's hand. Police eventually caught their assailant, Edwin
"Ned" Snelgrove, a promising college grad with an uncontrollable
desire to hurt women. Ned was jailed. Yet while serving a 20-year
sentence, he developed a twisted obsession with one very sick
hero-infamous serial murderer Ted Bundy, a man he wrote about
extensively in his prison letters to a friend. Ned studied the
notorious killer, looked up to him. And as Ned festered in prison,
waiting for the day he was to be cut loose, he decided he would be
better than Bundy when he got out and started killing once again.
Author M. William Phelps takes readers to some very dark places
here, so hang on. EASTBOUND STRANGLER Here, in Atlantic City, New
Jersey, Phelps takes readers and fans of the series deep into his
personal life and a dark connection to the Eastbound Strangler
case, how he feels about several suspects named by law enforcement,
and shares an exclusive interview he conducted with a woman who
claims she was with the Eastbound Strangler and his final victim,
Kim Raffo, on the night before Kim's body was found. In November
2006, the bodies of four women were discovered in a drainage ditch
behind a row of hotels, on the fringes of Atlantic City, New
Jersey. After years of intense investigation, law enforcement
remains baffled by the fact the victims' shoes were missing, and
their heads were all pointing east. Three of the women were known
prostitutes who worked "The Track," a wasteland of broken dreams
behind the casinos, on the dark side of Atlantic City's famous
boardwalk. NOTHING THIS EVIL EVER DIES Did Son of Sam have an
intimate, homosexual relationship with a fellow (serial killer)
inmate while in prison? Was Sam's real name Richard Falco? Has Son
of Sam-who claimed in 2011 that he does not want to seek parole
because he has been "freed" by Jesus Christ-been perpetrating a
fraud with his supposed "salvation"? In quoted excerpts from these
exclusive letters written by Son of Sam to serial killer Gary
Evans, a deeper, more interesting and eccentric psychopath emerges.
For the first time, author Phelps explores how Son and Sam and
serial killer Gary Evans (from Phelps's bestseller Every Move You
Make) became best friends while doing time together in a New York
state prison. If you thought you knew Son of Sam, think again. THE
SERIAL KILLERS DOWN THE ROAD In this introductory essay, author
Gregg Olsen recounts the serial killers who've crossed his path in
Washington State - Ted Bundy, Gary Ridgway, Linda Burfield Hazzard,
and Robert Yates.
