Wilkins: INNOCENT SOULS

INNOCENT SOULS

He Promised Them Opportunity. He Gave Them Death.Three Young Women Vanished. One Survivor Exposed Their Killer.

Los Angeles in the 1950s drew young women with promises of work, independence, and a chance at something bigger. Harvey Glatman saw an opportunity of another kind.

Posing as a photographer and using lonely-hearts clubs and modeling agencies to find victims, Glatman abducted and murdered Judith Dull, Ruth Mercado, and Shirley Bridgeford, leaving their bodies in the Southern California desert. For months, their disappearances remained disconnected and unexplained.

Then Glatman targeted Lorraine Vigil. She fought back, survived, and helped expose the man behind a horrifying series of crimes. Investigators soon uncovered photographs of bound women and evidence linking Glatman to the missing victims.

A killer had been hiding in plain sight. Drawing on court records, contemporary newspapers, archival material, and original research, BOUND TO DIE: The Young Victims of a Serial Killer and Rapist follows Harvey Glatman's trail from the streets of Los Angeles into the desolate Southern California desert, where three young women met their deaths.

The Young Victims of A Serial Killer and Rapist

Bound to Die

Read the larger-than-life true story of Carl Battie, labelled a criminal mastermind by the Federal DA in Dallas Texas. His life of crime spanned for more than 30 years.
This isn't a glorification of a life of crime; it is the unflinching true story of the consequences of that life and the need to start all over again, at the age of 67. 
He was deported back to London, England on June 26, 2024, a country he had not seen in over 25 years, with nothing more than the clothes he was wearing and health issues that almost killed him.
Carl had specialised in sophisticated financial crimes, bank fraud and real estate scams. His criminal enterprises were carried out in England, Spain, Germany and ending in America. 
The FBI launched a special Trask Force which finally arrested him at this home in Decatur Georgia on May 8th, 2014. 
Carl was incarcerated as a criminal mastermind, for Wire Fraud, Money Laundering and Real Estate Crimes. He severed just over ten years in some of America's most notorious prisons.

Risk Against Reward, How I survived the American Justice System

What is worse than a child predator? 

Twins who will stop at nothing and the clock is ticking.

A single CyberTip.
A digital trail.
Two brothers hiding a secret.

When Detective Trevor Kane is assigned an Internet Crimes Against Children case, he expects another difficult investigation. What he doesn't expect is where the evidence will lead.

Following usernames, IP addresses, online accounts, search warrants, electronic records, and forensic evidence, Kane begins piecing together a disturbing puzzle. Every new discovery reveals another layer of deception, forcing investigators to confront a horrifying reality: the people responsible may be much closer to their victims than anyone imagined.

But finding the evidence is only the beginning.

Kane must identify victims, uncover the truth, navigate the complexities of a multi-jurisdictional investigation, and build a case capable of putting the perpetrators behind bars. As the investigation unfolds, he sees firsthand how predators manipulate trust, exploit technology, and hide behind seemingly ordinary lives.

Call Us Daddy takes readers inside the investigation from the perspective of the detective who worked the case. It reveals the painstaking process of following a digital trail, uncovering hidden evidence, interviewing victims, and building a criminal case against those who prey on children.

This isn't television crime drama.

There are no scripted clues, convenient breakthroughs, or fictional endings.

This is a true story.

And behind every file, every piece of evidence, and every investigative decision are real children whose lives were forever changed.
Call Us Daddy is a disturbing journey into the world of online child exploitation and the investigators who work behind the scenes to expose it.

Some cases stay with you long after the investigation ends.
This is one of them.

Some cases are solved.
Some cases change you.
This case does both.

Although Call Us Daddy addresses disturbing crimes against children, the narrative does not include gratuitously graphic descriptions of sexual acts or explicit sexual content. The difficult subject matter is presented with restraint and purpose, focusing on the investigation, the evidence, the victims, and the realities of child exploitation rather than sensationalizing the crimes. The book also contains no profanity.

A Shocking True Crime Story

Call Us Daddy

In 2010, Andrew, a tall, dark, and handsome man, flitted amongst the St. Louis elite with a pedigree worthy of their involvement. The only problem was that his gilded gold stories were complete fabrications. He vacated the region in 2015 but had the balls to return less than ten years later, propagating the same charade. St. Louis Lucifer is a true crime story of deception and impersonation. Not so much a "tell all" but a "based on a true story" about Andrew's faux foibles. Szulc exorcises a demon through her story of the collision into the life of an imposter in the hallowed halls of St. Louis' cultural institutions.

A True Crime Impostor Story

St. Louis Lucifer, How I Danced with the Devil in the Midwest Moonlight

It was the deadliest terrorist attack of the twentieth century, a bombing which shocked the world. But was the wrong person found guilty?December 21, 1988. All flights between London and New York are full, except for Pan Am 103, where almost half the seats are empty. Thirty-eight minutes after take-off, as the plane flies over the tiny Scottish village of Lockerbie, a bomb explodes in the hull. All 259 people aboard perish.The attack is not a surprise - American diplomats had been warned not to fly with Pan Am - but the flight goes ahead. Eleven years later, a Libyan national is convicted of orchestrating the attack, a judgement which has been increasingly questioned and scrutinized due to its political implications and the fact that no physical evidence was found to tie the man to the crime.In late 2022, journalist Jan Stocklassa is trawling through the late Stieg Larsson's archive of documents when he discovers that the world-famous crime author had been investigating the Lockerbie bombing prior to his death, and he picks up the trail. Who was really behind the terrorist attack? Was it just a coincidence that the flight was half-empty that day? And who stands to benefit the most from the truth being buried all these years?Full of intrigue, scandal and drama, The Man Who Fell From The Sky is a breathless rollercoaster which lifts the lid on a real-life international conspiracy, a deadly plot, and one man's relentless fight for the truth.

The Nose Knows...Melanie, Police Bloodhound

In Still Walking in The Dark, John Olszewski continues his exploration into the minds and lives of some of the most notorious killers in modern history. Through years of research and direct correspondence with convicted murderers, Olszewski has assembled a rare collection of letters, conversations, and personal exchanges with individuals responsible for some of the most disturbing crimes imaginable. These interactions offer an unusual window into the lives of those who now exist behind prison walls. Rather than focusing solely on crimes and investigations, the book examines the individuals themselves-their thoughts, reflections, daily routines, and the ways they attempt to explain their actions or lives. From serial killers to mass murderers and other violent offenders, the author's correspondence reveals perspectives rarely seen outside prison walls. Drawing on his background in criminal justice, behavioral science, and counseling psychology, Olszewski approaches these interactions with the goal of understanding the human side of individuals often believed not to have one. Still Walking in The Dark continues the author's long-running research into violent offenders and the psychology surrounding their crimes. For readers fascinated by true crime and criminal behavior, the book offers an unusual look at the people behind the headlines.

Should've Would've Could've...Got a Divorce

This book provides an overview of male violence against women and the failure of the legal system. 

Male violence against women is pervasive. From the bedroom to the boardroom; from the home to the hospital; from the court to the care home, women are subject to male violence. The legal response to this is weak. The violence is either invisible or downplayed. This book explains why and how the law can do better. 

It explores how violence in different settings reinforces and magnifies the abuse in others. Too often violence against women is considered in silos (sexual assault; domestic abuse; street harassment, etc.). The book argues that they must be seen on a continuum. It brings out the common themes, but also the subtle differences in context between the scenes of violence. In doing so it argues that we cannot understand an incident of male violence against women without understanding the broader context within which that takes place. The book claims that the legal response to male violence against women downplays the severity of the harm or even fails to recognise it. 

This is a must-read for those interested in criminal law, gender politics, and feminist approaches to law. It is only when the true nature of the problem is grasped that the law can start to provide an effective response to it. This book shows how a better and more effective law can be found.

Andersheit - Fremdheit - Ungleichheit

Setzt man sich mit Kriminalliteratur auseinander, befasst man sich meistens mit Kriminalfiktion(en), mit literarischen Verbrechen, die zwar Bezüge zur ¿wirklichen Wirklichkeit¿ und somit auch zur wahren Kriminalität aufweisen können, die aber letztendlich stets als etwas Fiktives bzw. Fiktionales empfunden werden. Dabei machte die Kriminalliteratur immer wieder Anleihen beim realen Verbrechen, indem sie entweder vor dem Hintergrund realer Tatverläufe Geschichten erzählte oder dieselben realen Tatverläufe reportagemäßig dokumentierte. Ein ähnlich differentes Verhältnis lässt sich auch in anderen medialen Feldern finden, die u.a. das Verbrechen, die Ermittlung und die Bestrafung zum Thema haben, wie in Film oder Fernsehen. Die Beiträge in diesem Sammelband widmen sich dem Problem von (medial, literarisch) erzählter und (politisch, gesellschaftlich) erlebter Kriminalität, um auf diesem Wege auch der Frage nach (nicht?) bestehenden Synergien zwischen ihnen nachzugehen.

When engaging with crime literature, one is usually dealing with crime fiction(s), with literary crimes that, although they may have connections to 'actual reality' and thus to real criminality, are ultimately always perceived as something fictional. In this context crime literature has repeatedly drawn on real crimes, either telling stories against the backdrop of real criminal events, or documenting the same real events in a journalistic manner. A similar yet distinct relationship between criminal reality and criminal fictionality can also be found in other media fields that focus on crime, investigation, and punishment, such as film or television. The contributions in this anthology address the problem of crime narrated (in film, media, or literature) and crime experienced (in political and societal contexts), in order to explore the question of whether or not there are synergies between them.
