Williams A: The Long Road to Justice

The Long Road to Justice

Unraveling Alex Murdaugh's Tangled Web

Unbelievable Crimes

Join me in exploring some of the most heinous crimes known to man in Unbelievable Crimes Volume Six.


In this installment, I'll cover the story of a female spree killer, whose lust for blood saw her take the lives of three men - and try to murder two more unsuspecting victims. The purpose of her crimes? In her own words, it was for "fun."


I'll also delve into a most frustrating crime - a cold case dating back to 1968 - where a teen girl was mercilessly murdered by an unknown assailant. While I find cold cases frustrating due to the lack of closure they bring, crimes as horrific as this ought to be dredged up from the archives of true crime. To forget them is to abandon hope of the killer being brought to justice.


Come with me to 1970s Texas to learn about the shocking serial killer known as "The Pied Piper." This criminal sought teenage boys to carry out his wicked crimes and even enlisted the help of a teenager to lure youngsters to his home. What would then occur in his house of horrors is nothing short of nightmarish. The ending to this case is comparible with a twisted horror movie.


Then there's a disturbing story emanating from Wales. The man in this case lured his victim back to a hotel room before barbarically attacking her. The hotel owner heard the screams coming from room seven, so she unlocked the door only to be greeted with an awfully bloody sight. The panicked woman raced to call the police, screaming down the phone, "He's eating her."


Join me in understanding more about these crimes, as well as six more lesser-known cases, in Unbelievable Crimes Volume Six. As with all content covering true crime, this book contains descriptions of violence, assaults, and murder.

Macabre Yet Unknown True Crime Stories

Unbelievable Crimes Volume Six

Step into some of the most heinous (yet relatively unknown) crimes ever committed and delve into twelve twisted tales of murder in Unbelievable Crimes.


From the deplorable abduction and imprisonment of young women by James Jamelske, who kept his victims in his basement, to the tale of charismatic charmer Charles Schmid who boasted about his savage murders, each story in this anthology dives into pure evil.


In one case, I'll take you back to 1993, to the city of Houston, where two teenage girls, Jennifer Ertman, and Elizabeth Peña, were brutally raped and murdered. This crime can only be described as barbaric and senseless, especially when you factor in the young ages of the killers.


I'll delve into the bizarre and twisted story of Carl Tanzler, a man who becomes fixated on a beautiful young woman. After her untimely death, he kept her as a mummified corpse in his home for years, with a genuinely inexplicable outcome.


You'll also be introduced to the gruesome story of Omaima Nelson, an Egyptian-American woman who killed her husband before cooking and eating parts of his body.


While most people know about the incomprehensible acts of Ted Bundy or the wicked crimes of the "killer clown" John Wayne Gacy, there's an underbelly of true crime that has been left untouched over the years. These crimes had a fleeting news story or a 30-second snippet on a local news station and have since been long forgotten. I believe we should remember these crimes to ensure the victims - and their ordeals - don't get wiped from true crime history.


Discover the dark side of humanity as I delve into some of the most shocking and twisted little-known true crime stories in Unbelievable Crimes Volume One. To most, the senseless acts of violence and pure evil depicted in these cases are simply unimaginable. But, they're all somebody's reality.


Please note, as with all true crime content, this book contains details that cover real-life murders and violence.

Unbelievable Crimes Volume One

Edgar Award Finalist: The shocking account of a Wyoming father who terrorized his family for years—until his children plotted a deadly solution.

 One cold November night, in Cheyenne, Wyoming, fifteen-year-old Richard Jahnke Jr., ROTC leader and former Boy Scout, waited for his parents to return from celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the night they met. When his father got out of the car, the boy blasted him through the heart with a twelve-gauge pump-action shotgun. Richard’s seventeen-year-old sister, Deborah, was sitting on the living room couch with a high-powered rifle—just in case her brother missed.
 &nbsp;
 Hours later the Jahnke kids were behind bars. Days later they made headlines. So did the truth about the house of horrors on Cowpoke Road.
 &nbsp;
 Was it cold-blooded murder? Or self-defense?
 &nbsp;
 Richard Jahnke Sr., special agent for the IRS, gun collector, and avid reader of Soldier of Fortune, had been subjecting his wife, Maria, and both children to harrowing abuse—physical, psychological, and sexual—for years. Deborah and her brother conspired to finally put a stop to it themselves. But their fate was in the hands of a prejudiced and inept judicial system, and only public outcry could save them.
 &nbsp;
 Written with the full and revealing cooperation of the Jahnkes, this finalist for the Edgar Award for Best Fact Crime is "the ultimate family nightmare, played out in the heartland of America.&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;From the night of the murder through both trials, convictions and both youngsters’ eventual release&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;.&nbsp;it’s gripping reading" (Chicago Tribune).

A True Story of Family Terror

The Poison Tree

Come with me to investigate some of the most unnerving tales of human wickedness in Unbelievable Crimes Volume Five.


In the fifth installment of the series, I'll take you deep into the shadows of true crime history to uncover a new selection of shocking crimes you may not have heard of before. From deranged kidnappings to murderous teenage gangs, this volume of Unbelievable Crimes will cover some truly twisted tales from truly wicked people.


Discover the crimes of a master manipulator and cold-blooded killer who acted like an upstanding member of his community in Mesa, Arizona. When his horrific crimes came to light, no one could believe he was capable of such cruelty - but irrefutable DNA evidence proved otherwise.


Retrace the harrowing saga of the Gallegos, a married couple who just so happened to be dangerous predators. The sadistic duo prowled the streets of California in the late 70s, searching for young victims to lure into their van before carrying out their depraved desires.


I'll cover the story behind the murder of Danielle Jones, a young life cut short in England in 2001. Sadly, her body was never found, but in an unusual twist, the case was cracked by analysis of text messages sent by the killer.


Explore the tale of Armin Meiwes, a German man who craved human flesh. Not only did Armin act upon his macabre desire, but he also found a victim who was willing to be eaten. His twisted appetite would be satisfied - but a man would die in the process.


Learn about a case so callous it defies belief: a British mother who killed her children in a sick act of filicide. Why? Because they got in the way of her dating life.


Get to know about the devastating murder of a young girl whose killer escaped justice for over three decades. In the early 90s, Nikki Allan was horrifically and senselessly killed, and for years it seemed like her murderer would never be brought to justice. A new phenomenon of true crime sees historic crimes getting solved with new DNA capabilities. Therefore, criminals from years ago are now being brought to justice - this is one such case.


Uncover these cases, as well as six more stories in Unbelievable Crimes Volume Five. Just like the previous books in this series, I do my best to ensure the victims' suffering is remembered and the shameful actions of the criminals are highlighted. As with all the installments of this series, I'll examine the darkest depths of human malice.


I recount real-life cases of murder, violence, and unimaginable cruelty. Please bear this in mind before reading.

Unbelievable Crimes Volume Five

A True Story of Sex, Murder, and Utopia at the Dawn of World War II

Eden Undone

Explore the chilling stories of humanity's most sinister individuals in Unbelievable Crimes Volume Four.


I'll uncover hidden horrors of recent history, walking you through a haunting lineup of lesser-known crimes. I've scoured the dark and disturbing archives of true crime to present an anthology of cases that even the most informed crime followers may not have encountered before. I'll cover the hard-to-hear but little-covered tales that have somehow evaded the headlines: from murder to kidnapping to senseless acts of violence, Volume Four covers some truly horrific tales.


I'll unravel the grisly story of a seemingly ordinary (aren't they always?) individual who carried out monstrous acts of depravity. His acts were so violent and senseless, you'll find yourself wondering how people like this become so monstrous. His dark desires would lead to a series of terrible acts that saw the criminal get away with his crimes - until he decided to taunt the police. Would his overconfidence be his downfall?


You'll learn about the twisted tale of a woman whose desperation for motherhood led her down a path of wicked deception and murder. The culprit in this case made herself appear pregnant, showed friends and family fake ultrasounds and went as far as having a gender reveal party for the baby she wasn't having. This tragic tale culminates in a truly barbaric and gruesome crime pulled straight out of a nightmare.


Follow the story of Sarah Stern, a young woman whose life was cut short by the unimaginable betrayal of a friend she trusted. The search for justice would unearth a series of chilling revelations and deceitful schemes that led to her untimely and horrifying end. To her attackers, Sarah's life was worth a mere few thousand dollars.


Explore the deranged tale of a young man whose violent and brutal crimes show complete and utter disregard for human life - even the lives of those closest to him. Unbelievably, this criminal carried out one of his brutal attacks while on bail - for another murder he'd been detained for.


I'll also cover the harrowing and frustrating ordeal of a kidnapping victim who endured unimaginable abuse and torment at the hands of her sadistic captor. In a true crime rarity, the victim would survive her nightmare, and her resilience and strength would see her pursue justice relentlessly. But would her efforts to bring her tormentor to justice be in vain?


Get to know these chilling cases along with other lesser-known crimes in Unbelievable Crimes Volume Four. As with each book in this series, I delve deep into the darkest areas of humanity, recounting real-life cases of murder, violence, and unspeakable cruelty humans have carried out on one another. Keep this in mind before immersing yourself in these stories.

True stories from the front line

American Cops

Robert Graysmith's New York Times bestselling account of the desperate hunt for a serial killer and his own investigation of California's unsolved Zodiac murders. A sexual sadist, the Zodiac killer took pleasure in torture and murder. His first victims were a teenage couple, stalked and shot dead in a lovers' lane. After another slaying, he sent his first mocking note to authorities, promising he would kill more. The official tally of his victims was six. He claimed thirty-seven dead. The real toll may have reached fifty. Robert Graysmith was on staff at the San Francisco Chronicle in 1969 when Zodiac first struck, triggering in the resolute reporter an unrelenting obsession with seeing the hooded killer brought to justice. In this gripping account of Zodiac's eleven-month reign of terror, Graysmith reveals hundreds of facts previously unreleased, including the complete text of the killer's letters.

The Tara Grant Murder

A Slaying in the Suburbs

Der Tod kann uns ganz nah sein. Doch wir ahnen nichts davon. Wir wissen
nicht, dass uns im nächsten Moment eine Kugel treffen oder ein Lkw in 
eine Menschenmenge gelenkt wird, ein Täter uns nach dem Leben trachtet.
Rechtsmediziner Klaus Püschel und Gerichtsreporterin Bettina Mittelacher
greifen aus ihrem tiefen Fundus einerseits spektakuläre Fälle auf, die
Polizei, Justiz und Öffentlichkeit intensiv beschäftigen. Darunter zum Beispiel
ein abgründiger Dreifachmord, bei dem eine ganze Familie ausgelöscht
wird, sowie das geheimnisvolle Verschwinden einer Mallorquinerin und einen
Mordauftrag im Darknet.
Andererseits zeigen sie, wie akribisch Rechtsmediziner jeden Einzelfall von
Körperverletzung und Tod analysieren, dokumentieren und kombinieren -
unter Einsatz modernster Technik. Sie suchen nach der Wahrheit, wenn
Unschuldige im Gefängnis sitzen, um neue Beweise zu finden. Wie zum Beispiel
im Fall von Manfred Genditzki, der fast 14 Jahre lang in Haft war, bis er
endlich auf freien Fuß kam. Es geht nicht nur um die Obduktion. Es
geht um Wahrheit und Gerechtigkeit.
Der Tod geht über Leichen. Aber der Tod steht nur am Anfang. Am Ende geht
es um die bestmögliche Aufklärung.

Faszinierende Fälle aus der Rechtsmedizin

Der Tod geht über Leichen

Cases of the FBI’s Original Mindhunter

The legendary FBI criminal profiler and international bestselling author of Mindhunter and The Killer Across the Table returns with this timely, relevant book that goes to the heart of extremism and domestic terrorism, examining in-depth his chilling pursuit of, and eventual prison confrontation with Joseph Paul Franklin, a White Nationalist serial killer and one of the most disturbing psychopaths he has ever encountered. Worshippers stream out of an Midwestern synagogue after sabbath services, unaware that only a hundred yards away, an expert marksman and avowed racist, antisemite and member of the Ku Klux Klan, patiently awaits, his hunting rifle at the ready. The October 8, 1977 shooting was a forerunner to the tragedies and divisiveness that plague us today. John Douglas, the FBI's pioneering, first full-time criminal profiler, hunted the shooter-a white supremacist named Joseph Paul Franklin, whose Nazi-inspired beliefs propelled a three-year reign of terror across the United States, targeting African Americans, Jews, and interracial couples. In addition, Franklin bombed the home of Jewish leader Morris Amitay, shot and paralyzed Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt, and seriously wounded civil rights leader Vernon Jordan. The fugitive supported his murderous spree robbing banks in five states, from Georgia to Ohio. Douglas and his writing partner Mark Olshaker return to this disturbing case that reached the highest levels of the Bureau, which was fearful Franklin would become a presidential assassin-and haunted him for years to come as the threat of copycat domestic terrorist killers increasingly became a reality. Detailing the dogged pursuit of Franklin that employed profiling, psychology and meticulous detective work, Douglas and Olshaker relate how the case was a make-or-break test for the still-experimental behavioral science unit and revealed a new type of, determined, mission-driven serial killer whose only motivation was hate.A riveting, cautionary tale rooted in history that continues to echo today, The Killer's Shadow is a terrifying and essential exploration of the criminal personality in the vile grip of extremism and what happens when rage-filled speech evolves into deadly action and hatred of the "other" is allowed full reign. The Killer's Shadow includes an 8-page color photo insert.
