Serial Chase is the true story of the tragic intersection of two
lives in a hotel bar one night in Everett, Washington in 1950. One
individual is a prominent 52-year-old optometrist, while the other
is a 21-year-old man in a Sheriff's posse special deputy uniform.
The optometrist appears inebriated when he stands to leave and the
young man volunteers to drive him home. An hour later, they arrive
at the hospital emergency entrance, the passenger dead of apparent
heart attack according to the deputy. He accompanies other deputies
to the doctor's home where they explain her husband's death to his
stunned wife. The young deputy expresses that he wishes he could
have done more to help. The doctor is buried with the presumptive
cause of death being a heart attack. Thirteen months later, the
former posse deputy is himself being held in the county jail on
charges of arson. One night in his cell, he confesses to a spree of
serial killing, arson, robbery, assault, and production of
pornography, starting when he entered the army at age 17 and ending
with his arrest at age 22. The optometrist was the author's
grandfather, murdered by the killer. The book reviews his life path
to that bar stool in December 1950. The book then explores the life
of the Sheriff's posse deputy, Harold Glenn Chase, and his path
through acts of arson, murder, and a myriad of other crimes. The
story follows the man through his murder trials, and how he used
his incredible powers of persuasion to deceive a prison
psychiatrist and spend less than a decade in the state
penitentiary, despite having been sentenced to life imprisonment.
