True Crime Case Histories - Volume 22: 12 Disturbing Stories of Murder and Mayhem

The killers in this book weren't strangers. They were husbands and wives, neighbors with friendly dogs, family members who sat across the dinner table. They spent weeks, months, sometimes years building the relationships they would eventually destroy. And when they finally acted, they did so knowing exactly who would be hurt. From suburban homes to isolated citrus groves, these twelve meticulously researched cases reveal what happens when ordinary people decide that the lives around them are simply obstacles to be removed. The Perfect Lie – He told everyone he was starting medical school. His pregnant wife believed every word. But when she finally discovered the truth about the man she married, he had already decided that murder was easier than confession. Over Our Dead Bodies – She was a respected physician, a mother of three, living in an affluent Kansas suburb. But behind closed doors, she was poisoning her husband with exotic toxins and planning something far worse for her own children. The Lakewood Monster – He walked his dog through the neighborhood, waved to families, and always had time to chat with the local kids.
