(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best serial killers true accounts

Serial Killers have always interested me. I loves this book and have it in printed and digital form. It delves into the person's background and upbringing which I actually think is more interesting than the actual crime.

This is the cover art from a fiction book called "The Seduction of Mary Kelly" by William J Perring.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Seduction-Mary-Kelly-ebook/dp/B00CFS2VG6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1366912433&sr=8-1&keywords=seduction+of+mary+kelly

There are images available of Mary Kelly post-mortem, but I don't advise looking for them unless you have a strong stomach.

There’s another one called Cries In The Desert by John Glatt, but I haven’t read that one. The Jim Fielder book is really good.

Harvey C., that wrote the following about himself while selling a book about this case largely given two thumbs down?:

"I’ve been considered the most influential international political figure in Kentucky-US, and some would say that perhaps in the World at one time. I have dealt with Governors, Senators, Presidents and Foreign Heads of State; and in the process I have saved millions of lives, and affected the economic fate of nations..."

I would need documentation on that Iowa plates geocaching LE stop anyway. But people that say things like Harvey C. do not help their credibility.

I remember reading a book recently that went over some of the different opinions certain cultures had on cannibalism, and the levels of cultural development of them. Turns out a lot of different cultures practiced it, ranging from tribes to full-blown empires, and in a lot of different forms. Not sure if it was 100% accurate, but I thought that this was a decent (if focused too much on serial killers) overview of cannibalism throughout history.

It's an ok book. By no means is it the best book on a serial killer I've read, but still an interesting read.

There absolutely was a trial. It is part of why his history is so well known, as much of what is known about him comes from the trial. How you define "fairness" is a matter of debate, but there was significant evidence. Many cases at the time had much shakier evidence for their rulings.

It wasn't that "someone found a lot of bodies on his property". It was that many peasants had their male children taken away from them, never to be heard from again. And servants of his admitted to helping dispose of disemboweled children.

Sources:

John Douglas - Mindhunter. Some of his other books talk about Bundy too, but I can't remember which ones - sorry.

Robert Keppel with Stephen G. Michaud - Terrible Secrets

Keppel was the original detective that was assigned to the Bundy case. Bundy asked him to meet him once he knew he was going to be executed and a lot of the book talks about that meeting.

Check our Stephen G. Michaud's other books too. He helped co-write a number of books on Bundy with a few FBI profilers. The one contains transcripts of Michaud's interviews with Bundy.

You can also read the transcripts of Bill Hagmaier's interviews online.

probably better to just sit in the Ten Bells with a copy of this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Jack-Ripper-Casebook-Richard-Jones/dp/023300257X/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1549879574&sr=8-8&keywords=ripper+book

So many from Ann Rule. One of my favorites is Green River, Running Red: The Real Story of the Green River Killer--America's Deadliest Serial Murderer

Hey, sorry to that person, but it's The Man from The Train, just in case anyone else is interested and has a hard time separating it from the movie.

My book on the Axeman, The Axeman of New Orleans: The True Story, will be published by Chicago Review Press in March 2017. https://www.amazon.com/Axeman-New-Orleans-True-Story/dp/161374868X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1469218452&sr=1-1&keywords=axeman+of+new+orleans

Victim: The Other Side of Murder by Gary Kinder about the Hi-Fi Murders in Utah.

A Wilderness of Error by Errol Morris about the Jeffrey MacDonald case

And right now I’m reading The Man from the Train by Bill James about the Villisca Axe Murders

Here's one from a local paper:

http://www.theoaklandpress.com/general-news/20130413/woman-blogs-about-losing-a-brother-to-the-oakland-county-child-killer

^The woman in that article has a blog you might find interesting.

There's also an entire book about it called 'Wolf in Sheep's Clothing'.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0814319890?pc_redir=1395961822&robot_redir=1

Ann Rule was a police officer before she started writing true crime books and magazine articles.

I've read and enjoyed The Stranger Beside Me, Green River Running Red, and Dead By Sunset.

I just finished The Pretty Girl Killer, next up is American Predator, no, it's not about your current president.

Read Kevin m Sullivan's book or watch his interviews and podcasts !

I'm 100% talking about Bundy.. he was massively fucked up. But since he looked so handsome people couldn't believe he was capable of what he did.

Try these ones. And defenitely grab his 3 bundy books. The first two , "The bundy murders a comprehensive history" and "the trail of Ted Bundy"
He wrote a 3rd book "The bundy secrets" it is all case files and the investigation to catch him , like the investigators saw. Absolutely fascinating trilogy , if your looking for More info on Bundy

Really good book about those weirdos.

You can buy it from amazon!

I just read one of the biographies on Ted Bundy and it was pretty crazy. These two guys interviewed him and all the people that came across him such as lovers, family, cops, victims, etc. It was especially strange knowing he was from Seattle and involved in law school and politics.

I don't care much about Renner either. Guy seems completely clueless about so many things and people. I don't trust his judgment at all.

As for the White Mountains, not sure there's a book length story there either. Just as you and I are done with the "my obsession" narrative, I'm also not into "haunted place" narratives.

As an FYI, here's an author, Bill James, who actually did solve a case, The Man from the Train

https://www.amazon.com/Man-Train-Solving-Century-Old-Mystery/dp/1476796254

Also, if you haven't read Popular Crime, it's fascinating.

I read this book:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Only-Living-Witness-Serial-Killer-ebook/dp/B0076XL5JY/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1415270566&sr=1-3&keywords=ted+bundy

which was really well researched & comprehensive. I see the same authors also wrote another book about ol' Ted, (maybe before this one?) which I haven't read, in which he does apparently admit to committing necrophilia. There is an article about it here:

http://bundyphile.wordpress.com/2012/12/30/teds-obsession-with-necrophilia/

The book in question is called 'Ted Bundy: Conversations With a Killer'
I might have to get this for my Kindle...

IIRC it was sourced from Cries in the Desert, if it wasn’t then it’s definitely the best book about DPR.

Cries in the Desert: The Shocking True Story of a Sadistic Torturer (St. Martin's True Crime Library) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003J564ZI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_jwNVCbY849CNW
