36 Disturbing True Crime Stories of Murder and Mayhem
Three Book Collection: Volumes 19, 20, and 21 of the True Crime Case Histories Series
***** This series can be read in any order *****

The true crime genre tends to revolve around the same notorious names, retold and reexamined until every detail becomes familiar. But for every killer who achieved infamy, dozens more committed equally heinous acts that barely made it past the local news. Their victims' stories remain untold, their families' grief unacknowledged by the wider world.
This collection digs deeper, unearthing cases that prove not all monsters are famous. Through careful research and compelling storytelling, these accounts reveal that the most disturbing crimes often happen far from the spotlight-in quiet suburbs, rural communities, and forgotten corners where evil thought no one was watching.
A sampling of the stories includes:

The Perfect Murder - She was 26 and planning her dream wedding. Her fiancé seemed perfect-a psychiatric nurse studying to become a doctor. But while she picked out flowers and finalized seating charts, he was Googling "chemicals to dissolve bodies."

The Body in the Garden - For eighteen years, an eccentric elderly woman hosted neighborhood barbecues. But her guests had no idea she was keeping an unthinkable secret wrapped in plastic in the garden shed, just feet from where children played.

The Bargain Basement - Patients came to him for cosmetic surgery at bargain-basement prices. But when emergency responders arrived at his basement operating room, they found the surgeon trying to save a dying patient with a wire coat hanger.

The Wrong Car - A college senior celebrating her final weeks before law school made the same decision millions make every weekend--she opened an app and requested a ride home. But the car that pulled up wasn't the rideshare she thought it was.

The Crown Hill Murder - A sixteen-year-old girl disappeared from her own home. Her family never suspected that someone they trusted completely had been planning her death for weeks.

The Social Media Killer - When a controlling husband's threats finally escalated to murder, he made a chilling decision: to document his crime in a way that would shock the world.

Plus thirty more chilling true crime cases.

These aren't stories ripped from headlines you've already read. They're deep dives into lesser-known cases, reconstructed from court transcripts, police files, and witness testimony. These aren't padded with speculation or cheap thrills-they're thoroughly researched investigations into humanity's capacity for evil when it believes it's invisible.

36 Disturbing Stories True Crime Stories

True Crime Case Histories - (Books 19, 20, & 21)

1947 erschien in Paris ein großformatiges, 55-seitiges Heft unter dem Titel "Dos gezang fun vilner geto", herausgegeben von dem Dichter und Partisan Shmerke Kaczerginski. Es enthielt eine Sammlung von 37 Liedern, die im Ghetto von Wilna in der Zeit der deutschen Besatzung und der Shoah entstanden und die die Erfahrungen der Bevölkerung beschreiben. Das Heft war auf Jiddisch geschrieben, d. h. in hebräischer Schrift. Nur 100 nummerierte Exemplare wurden gedruckt. Einige dieser Lieder sind heute weltberühmt, andere kaum bekannt. 
Dieter Koller und Sebastian Wogenstein haben die Lieder mit Noten in dieser kommentierten Neuedition transkribiert, in ein singbares Deutsch übertragen und die Schicksale der genannten Personen sowie die Geschichte der Orte sorgfältig recherchiert. Zusätzliche Materialien und Abbildungen geben einen bewegenden Eindruck vom entschlossenen Widerstand gegen die Besatzer, die mit der Bevölkerung auch die vielfältige jüdische Kultur Wilnas auslöschen wollten.

Dos gezang fun vilner geto. Lieder aus dem Wilnaer Ghetto

Gscheit und gschert - der bairische Dialekt kann beides. Die vielen Sprüche, Redensarten und Lebensweisheiten, die es nur im Bairischen gibt, sind der beste Beweis dafür. In der Mundart lässt sich mit geradezu beeindruckend tiefgründigem Hintersinn über Gott, die Welt und das Leben im Allgemeinen räsonieren, nur um den soeben erleuchteten Gesprächspartner anschließend wortgewaltig und derb abzuwatschen. Dabei nimmt sich das Bairische aber nie zu ernst: Das schelmische Augenzwinkern gehört hierzulande zum Dialekt wie die Brezn zur Weißwurscht.
Johann Rottmeir hat schon mit seinen ersten beiden Sammlungen "A Hund bist fei scho" und "Bazi, Blunzn, Breznsoizer" dem Kulturgut Mundart, den einzigartigen bairischen Wörtern und Sprüchen ein lesenswertes Denkmal gesetzt - mit sicherem Gespür für den besonderen Humor und die feinen Zwischentöne des Bairischen. Dass es sich lohnt, den Dialekt wieder oder ganz neu für sich zu entdecken, zeigt auch sein dritter großer Wurf: Seine Schatzkiste an alten, fast vergessenen Redensarten gibt für den unermüdlichen Forscher immer neue Kostbarkeiten preis. Gesammelt, ins Hochdeutsche "übersetzt" und ergänzt durch ebenso informative wie amüsante Erläuterungen, wollen so manche bairischen Sprüche, die einst geflügeltes Wort und in aller Munde waren, wieder in unseren alltäglichen Wortschatz aufgenommen werden!

Jetzt gherst da Katz!

On March 18, 1990, in the early hours after St. Patrick's Day, two men dressed as police officers walked into Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and walked out with over $500 million in stolen art. Vermeer's The Concert, Rembrandt's The Storm on the Sea of Galilee, and works by Degas and Manet disappeared without a trace. It remains the most expensive and baffling art theft in history.
The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Heist: Art, Ambition, and Unsolved Mystery (1990) offers a gripping deep dive into the events of that night and the decades-long investigation that followed. Author James G. Edwards II masterfully blends true crime with art history, exploring how a single robbery devastated a cultural institution, shook the art world, and fueled countless theories from mob connections to inside jobs.
Readers will encounter the legendary stolen works, the eccentric founder who built the museum, and the law enforcement efforts that have yielded no arrests, no recoveries, and no closure. Through historical detail and dramatic pacing, this book tells the full story behind an unsolved crime that continues to haunt and intrigue.

Art, Ambition, and Unsolved Mystery (1990)

The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum Heist

In 1929, a news story too crazy for most times, but just perfect for the exuberant Jazz Age, spread through America's newspapers, and even overseas. During that year, readers were titillated with a tale of Twenties extravagance to out-Roar them all. They bought it hook, line, and sinker, and fondly recalled it for decades thereafter. But the elaborate tale was fictitious. A fabulously daring and artful hoax. The perpetrators, three ambitious writers, each bearing the royal title they brought to the task, got away with it.

Incorporating extensive research and newly-discovered sources, John Locke, an expert on the writing world of the 1920s, tears away the veils of secrecy for the first time, spinning a fast-moving journey of discovery through fabled times. Unfolding like a great mystery, we discover the rich lives of the hoaxers, how they united in strange purpose, how their globetrotting lives inexorably converged on the hoax, how they engineered its spread, and how their intimate understanding of the Jazz Age made them masters of their scheme. Not even jazz was spared.

It's a story spanning East and West colored with unbridled ambition, struggle and success, hoaxes and deceptions, war and peace, the romance of adventure, and the flattening of nineteenth century traditions beneath the steamroller of modernity.

Above all hovers the tantalizing mystery of motives-why did they do it?

Die seltsamen Fälle von Samson und Nadjeschda

Kiew, 1919: In den Wirren nach der Russischen Revolution stößt der junge Samson, gerade zur Vollwaise geworden, beinahe durch Zufall zur neuen sowjetischen Polizei. Sein erster Fall ist gleich äußerst mysteriös: Ein abgeschnittenes Ohr, ein Knochen aus reinem Silber und ein Anzug aus feinem englischem Tuch geben ihm Rätsel auf. Doch die Zeiten sind gefährlich und halten jeden Tag neue Überraschungen bereit. Zum Glück lernt Samson die patente Nadjeschda kennen, die ihm bei den Ermittlungen hilft und an die er schon bald sein Herz verliert.

Samson und Nadjeschda

My Book: 1 Evil Thing is based on true events while other characters are given different names. These events are based on facts and are true events that happened and are inspired by the Noelle Chagolla case-my friend who was murdered long ago. Through time-compelling facts came about this one evil thing that I want the world to know about. Hopefully, readers are reached with love and understanding of life, how precious it is to live and care for others like how we would care for ourselves, given that life should never be taken for granted when it can easily be taken from us. So live every day gracefully and greatly. Never be evil to others. Always live and love.

1 Evil Thing

What significance do the ancient myths of our ancestors have today, and what do they have to do with the challenges of the present? Far more than many believe. In times when social and political uncertainty increases or technological developments rapidly transform our world, these ancient stories are once again gaining attention. This book impressively demonstrates that myths are far more than romantic tales from past centuries. They are coded instructions for action in times of crisis-and those who read them correctly will discover strategies for courage, responsibility, and change.

The author combines sound cultural-historical knowledge with modern analysis and makes it clear: The ancient stories of Valhalla, Siegfried, and the gods of the Edda are not just cultural heritage, but practical guidance in turbulent times. They remind us that it is the individual who makes decisions when the community begins to hesitate. They show how to create order out of chaos and why forgetting these stories is a danger to every society.

This book is aimed at readers interested in myths, history, and cultural memory-and at all those seeking guidance in the present. Anyone who wants to learn why our ancient stories should not only be passed on, but also understood and utilized, will find inspiration, food for thought, and concrete impulses for action here.

An indispensable work for all who see in ancient myths not only the past, but also the guideposts for a self-determined future.

True Crime Case Histories - (Books 19, 20, & 21) LARGE PRINT EDITION

Warum konnte Angst ganze Regionen in tödliche Gewalt treiben?Dieses Buch erklärt die Hexenverfolgung nicht als dunklen Mythos, sondern als historisch nachvollziehbares Zusammenspiel von Krisen, Justiz und öffentlicher Kommunikation.Der Historiker Kai Lehmann legt anhand etlicher dokumentierter Fälle dar, wie zwischen dem 16. und 18.¿Jahrhundert in Deutschland Hexenprozesse entstanden, eskalierten und legitimiert wurden. Die besondere Stärke dieses Buches liegt in seinem konsequent alltagshistorischen Ansatz: Nicht abstrakte Theorien stehen im Mittelpunkt, sondern konkrete Menschen, Orte und Verfahren. Grundlage ist eine über Jahre aufgebaute Datenbank mit mehreren tausend Prozessorten - ein in dieser Form einzigartiger Zugang.Lehmann zeigt, warum Hexenverfolgung ein Phänomen der Frühen Neuzeit war und welche Rolle Angst, soziale Konflikte und frühe Formen von "Massenmedien" dabei spielten. Flugschriften, Predigten und Gerüchte wirkten als Brandbeschleuniger einer Gewalt, die sich vor Gericht vollzog.Das Buch behandelt unter anderem:<ul><li>Ursachen der Hexenprozesse: Krisen, Seuchen, Kriege und soziale Spannungen</li><li>Gerichtspraxis, Anklagewege und juristische Mechanismen</li><li>Die mediale Verbreitung von Angst vor 1800</li><li>Regionale Unterschiede in Deutschland</li><li>Die Rolle von Nachbarschaft, Familie und Öffentlichkeit</li><li>Warum Frauen den Großteil der Opfer stellten</li></ul> 
"Hexen vor Gericht" ist ein fundiertes, eindringliches Geschichtsbuch für alle, die den Mythos der Hexenverfolgung historisch verstehen wollen - und für Leserinnen und Leser mit Interesse an regionaler Geschichte, Justizgeschichte und den Mechanismen kollektiver Angst.

Hexen vor Gericht!

Peter Grimes - charismatic con man, or misguided, thrill-seeking adventurer?The incredible exploits of American Peter Grimes, the most audacious con artist of the twentieth century, reads like a wildly far-fetched Jazz Age novel, but it is all true. Given life's gifts in abundance, he used those gifts in all the wrong ways. Grimes grew up in the Pennsylvanian coal mining town of Scranton. However, ordinary life was never going to be an option. He had surrendered to an irresistible urge, a microbe he called the Wanderlust. Grimes certainly kept the authorities busy as he plied his trade across the globe. But would the piper eventually have to be paid?Hoodwinked is the first biography to meet the challenge of untangling Peter Grimes' life story. What really compelled him to carry out his breathtaking scams? What part did family background and opportunity play? And why do victims fall for swindlers such as Grimes?Cathy Koning's curiosity was initially piqued by the discovery of two love letters written by Grimes from Borneo. She was astounded to discover deception, and creativity, on a grand scale. Peter Grimes was the ultimate chameleon who took his cue for his next adventure from current events, new technologies, and even other con artists, with prison no deterrent whatsoever.Grimes connected with everyone from dare-devil aviators Phil Parmelee and Cliff Turpin, boxer and film actor Frank Moran, shady players in President Harding's administration, Hearst journalist Basil Woon, British aristocrat Baronet Hartwell, Buster Keaton, Tigran Sarkies, the owner of Singapore's Raffles Hotel, to the notorious religious cult leader William Riker, and Canadian shipping magnate Robert Dollar. He clearly knew how to work the room.Grimes also drugged and substituted a Norwegian sailor for himself in Japan in order to escape a second prison term in San Quentin. A top-level US government cover-up followed, kept hidden until now, as was Grimes' highly secretive, and highly profitable, bootlegging ventures with racketeers Waxey Gordon and Frank Costello during Prohibition.Lavishly illustrated, Hoodwinked is riveting reading for anyone searching for thought-provoking true crime and narrative non-fiction books.
Hoodwinked Testimonials
"Koning masterfully combines a biographical history of Peter Grimes, whilst keeping her reader on the edge of the seat. How on earth does he get away with it? You can't but help compromise your moral compass with sneaky admiration as he weaves his way to become one of the world's most creative and notorious con men." Sandi Keane-former Editor-in-Chief, Michael West Media and Editor, Independent Australia

"In Hoodwinked, Koning has created a spellbinding tale from the real life story of Peter Grimes, the charming and intriguing con man who grifted and lied his way across the world. His wild ride of a life will make you doubt that it could be real, but it was, and Koning's research is impeccable. A must read!" Alex de Fircks-Family Historian and Writer

"The extraordinary story of Peter Grimes and his daring escapades is so remarkable, it could easily be the plot of a movie. Through meticulous research and heartfelt dedication, Cathy Koning brings his incredible journey vividly to life." Fran Yeoh-Author of Christmas Island Archives website
