File updated July 1, 2017Joe Gere said he died on the afternoon his twelve-year-old daughter Brenda disappeared. It was left to Brenda's mother Elaine to sustain her stricken family, search for her missing child, and pressure the authorities for justice. From the first minutes of the investigation, suspicion fell on Michael Kay Green, a steroid-abusing "Mr. Universe" hopeful, but there was no proof of a crime, leaving police and prosecutors stymied.Tips and sightings poured in as lawmen and volunteers combed the Cascades forest in the biggest search on Northwest history. Years passed with no sight of the blue-eyed girl or the bright clothes she'd worn on the day she disappeared, but Elaine remained undaunted.Salt of the Earth is the true story of how one woman fought and triumphed over life-shattering violence and how she healed her family-and herself.Salt of the Earth is the true story of a courageous woman who survived a hellish twentieth-century nightmare. Mob violence, injustice, kidnapping, murder, and suicide were the black holes in the awful astronomy of Elaine Gere's life. Somehow she had to summon the courage to endure: to honor her beloved dead and to rebuild the shattered lives of the sons who depended on her strength. Jack Olsen has been lauded for his psychological insights into the most violent criminals in such previous masterworks as Doc, The Misbegotten Son, and Predator, but he has never overlooked their victims. By viewing the world through the eyes of Elaine Gere and her devastated family, he finds the core values that enabled them not only to survive and flourish, but, in the end, to triumph.Gilbert Taylor: In the annals of humanity, the Gere family is unexceptional and ordinary--unless one looks as closely at their lives as Olsen does. A boomer-age couple, Joe and Elaine Gere move between California and Idaho a dozen times on their roller coaster ride of solvency and bankruptcy and have three children. Much the steadier spouse, energetic Elaine always manages to land a clerical federal job wherever Joe moves the family. The wanderlust ensues from Joe's first career misfortune, as a cop disabled during a melee with a mob. His relatives thought that incident started his slide toward suicide, and his addictive (regrets of hitting her and promises to reform) abuse of Elaine demonstrates the complexity of Joe's insidious demons. But he holds on, Elaine remaining loyal, until another bolt from the blue--the kidnapping and murder of their 12-year-old daughter. Here Olsen is at his dispassionate, yet concerned, best, introducing the subplot of the suspect's life (a wife beater), the course of the investigation, and the ultimate denoument of the case. In this mass-media age, many women will identify with, and perhaps be inspirited by, Olsen's fine chronicle of the Gere family.

The racy jambalaya of war stories, anecdotes, observations and comments was gleaned from street cops all over New Orleans... America's most exotic and romantic city. Offbeat stories and comments from patrolmen, narcs, detectives, deputy sheriffs and state troopers are mixed with little known facts, forming a spicy Creole gumbo. As one NOPD old-timer remarked, "Some of these stories will make you laugh out loud. Others will bring tears to your eyes." Written by veteran cop, James Prine, The Real Police is not for the squeamish, and it cheerfully thumbs its nose at 'political correctness.' These true stories are the part of police work cops usually keep to themselves. If you're a street cop, or if you've ever wanted to be one... This book is for you.

When the police arrive, they conclude that this is a case of a robbery gone wrong, as the dead man's valuables are missing. However, as the case progresses, Viner discovers to his consternation, that the prime accused in the case is an old school-mate who is caught pawning items of jewelry belonging to the dead man. What makes it worse is that the school-mate is down and out these days and certainly needs the money. Viner decides to investigate and discover the truth.

This book provides an explanation of Crime Stoppers and tells how programs operate around the world. Created in 1976 by Greg MacAleese, an Albuquerque, New Mexico detective, to solve the slaying of a 19-year-old college student, the concept has grown to a global network of independent Crime Stoppers programs dedicated to improving security in communities and keeping streets safe. These volunteer grass root organizations maintain telephone tiplines where callers can anonymously report information that will help police solve crime. Rewards, raised through donations from the public, are available if a tip leads to an arrest. The book also outlines the value of School Crime Stoppers programs and reveals what world leaders and top law enforcement officials have said about the crime solving network. In addition to highlighting crimes that have been cleared through tips to Crime Stoppers, the book incorporates several cases that police agencies around the world are anxious to solve. Among them the strangulation slaying of 16-year-old Chanel Petro-Nixon who vanished from her family's Brooklyn, New York apartment on Father's Day in 2006; the June 2011 mysterious disappearance of 19-year-old Shizelle Hernandez while on basic training with the Air Guard in Trinidad; the abduction and murder of 14-year-old Aielah Saric-Auger in Prince George, British Columbia, one of several hundred aboriginal females who have gone missing in Canada through the years and the 13 victims of what police in South Australia call the Child Murder Cases occurring between 1966 and 2000. Also highlighted is the effort by Crime Stoppers to track down poachers in South Africa and prevent the slaughter of rhinos, one of the world's most endangered species.

The purpose of this volume 1 of 2 in this book is to unravel the linkage between intra-racial crime and violence among African-Americans and its nature or intrinsic and nurture or extrinsic causes. The biological (genetic) factors are examined and weighed against environmental factors learned from society and way of life, imposed and/or chosen. Other factors like proximity between victims and perpetuators are weighed. Assessments are made on whether the crime and violence imposed on blacks by blacks is significantly more threatening to society than white-on-white crime. Race is perused as a factor in black crime and violence. Distinctions are made between blue- and white-collar crimes and socioeconomic factors and values. The role of intergenerational trauma experienced from systemic and implicit racial bias and animus is perused. The impact of self-hatred and "Stockholm Syndrome" are weighed as a factor in predatory attitudes towards blacks by blacks. The linkage to conservative politics in violation of the interest of one's own race, family, and community is assessed. In addition to the generational and societal predilection to commit black-on-black crime, the drug trade and its destructive consequences are examined as a "War on Blacks." The examination takes this volume to the stairway of where drugs and guns are financed and imported into black communities. In its poorest communities, this dilemma is taken in context to the drug trade being the most viable but illegal business and employer where employment and income is extremely scarce.

Life for South African detective William Granger starts with death. His hobbies are archaeology and mythology. The disappearance of Sophia Brooks leads him to Mpumalanga (the Place Where the Sun Rises). He finds skeletal remains in a dilapidated farmhouse. The cellar collapses leaving William crippled and claustrophobic. The case seems dead. Then Bullion Mining unearths a mass grave in Mpumalanga's mystical Makhonjwa Mountains (the Mountains that Show the Way) and William is ordered to investigate. The skeletons are in a man-made cavern containing ancient symbols that will create chaos with present day cultural and religious beliefs. William draws archaeologist Alexandra Pendleton into a world where the truth seems misleading. Bullion Mining will stop at nothing to get their operations back on track. The members of the Barberton Heritage Committee, who control the area, are also not averse to advancing their personal ambitions. Reverend Coombs foresees a threat to his religion and way of life. And William? Does he have his own agenda? Are the symbols in the cavern forged? As the archaeological secrets are revealed the danger heightens. Betrayal and deceit becomes the order of the day.

Real heroes don't just fight with weapons-they fight with knowledge. At the end of the Vietnam War, Americans had left thousands of refugees to fend off evil for themselves. When trying to escape on small boats many were taken by pirates. Some were raped. Others tortured. Too many were senselessly murdered. Ted Schweitzer stood alone and fought back against the injustice. He rescued thousands of women and children from bondage. And then he too, like the people he rescued, was forgotten into obscurity.From fighting pirates to helping recover POWs, this book uncovers a story that should have never been left untold.This book uncovers a story that should have never been left untold.

The Case of Harold Shipman, Serial Killer DoctorThis book, the first of a trilogy, takes the reader into the essentially private world of doctors, each from different backgrounds but all with one common thread running through their lives - they were all English general medical practitioners and they were all put on trial for murder.This first work is concerned with the case of Dr Harold Shipman, one of the most prolific serial killers in British legal history, and it seeks to answer the most important question of all.Why a well-respected, popular family GP, and prominent member of his local community, was at the same time killing over 215 of his trusting and mainly elderly patients in what have been described as 'near perfect crimes'. His early life and medical career are examined to identify a possible 'trigger' to explain his killing obsession, culminating in his eventual arrest and trial. It also considers the numerous failings of those systems which were designed to safeguard patients, yet failed so miserably. It considers the findings of the definitive Shipman Inquiry, which was divided into two distinct parts. The first part examined the individual deaths of Shipman's patients, whilst the second part examined the systems in place that failed to identify his crimes. The Inquiry Team also carried out a separate investigation into all the deaths certified by Shipman during his time as a junior doctor at Pontefract General Infirmary, West Yorkshire.The Inquiry published a total of six reports. The first concluded that Shipman killed at least 215 patients, the second report found that his last three victims could have been saved if the police investigation had been carried out more efficiently. The third report found that by issuing death certificates stating 'natural causes'.Shipman was able to evade investigation into deaths by the Coroner. The fourth report called for more stringent controls on the use and issuing of 'controlled' drugs. The fifth report on the regulation and monitoring of GPs, criticised the General Medical Council (the GMC) and recommended an overhaul of its constitution to ensure it was more focused on protecting patients rather than doctors. The sixth and final report, published in 2005, concluded that Shipman had killed in the region of 250 patients.This work concludes with an assessment of those psychological traits which may provide a final clue to that elusive question: Why?This title is the first in a series of three books on killer doctors.

Ruthless criminal mastermind. With a nickname as hardcore as George "Machine Gun" Kelly's, it should come as no surprise that such terms are frequently associated with him. 86 years may have come and gone since his death, but this Depression-era mobster's name and legacy are still as relevant as ever. Not only has this legendary nickname been adopted by a popular rapper, he remains the subject of various articles, books, songs, films, and other pop culture mediums. Of course, given his fame and notoriety, it's always fair to ask how much truth there is to the riveting, action-packed tales surrounding his short, memorable life of crime.Machine Gun Kelly: The Notorious Life and Crimes of the Depression Era Gangster profiles how he became one of America's most famous outlaws, and the daring crimes that made him so feared. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Machine Gun Kelly like never before.

On November 13, 1974, police received a report of a homicide at 112 Ocean Avenue in the Village of Amityville, New York, a sleepy seaside community located on Long Island's South Shore. Once there, the police discovered six members of the DeFeo family -- father, mother and four of their five children -- shot and killed execution style. The surviving son, Ronald "Butch" DeFeo Jr., was eventually charged and tried for the murder of his family and now is serving six concurrent life sentences. Some said a strong supernatural force in the DeFeo home drove Butch DeFeo to kill his family, while others claimed Butch DeFeo killed to receive an inheritance. The Night the DeFeos Died offers the true story behind this tragedy and exposes Butch DeFeo did not act alone in the commission of this crime. It also shows that the supernatural stories created about the famed Amityville house were nothing, but a ruse concocted for Butch DeFeo's defense that later grew into a cottage industry. The whole truth regarding the story has never been revealed, until the publication of Ric Osuna's book. From mob involvement to a corrupt judicial system, The Night the DeFeos Died reveals the full details of the DeFeo murders, including how they were a culmination of substance abuse and domestic violence.

LA has known its share of notorious murderers. Hickman, Glatman, Bashor, Sirhan, Manson, Turner, Bianchi and Buono, just to name an ugly few. These remain stories told once and again. Tragic cases that commanded varying degrees of attention. None upset the urban routine like the Night Stalker. His crimes activated insecurities previously foreign to Angelenos. Brutal and unthinkable killings moved millions to a state of near lockdown. Law enforcement's simultaneous scramble aimed to calm the masses and catch a killer. The effect on the millions of innocents was patently unfair, but proved abundantly necessary. The social impact of the serial killings and serial crimes committed by Richard Ramirez is discussed by a number of contributors who bolted doors, locked windows and took up arms in the heat of just a single summer. It was 1985.It was Satan's Summer in the City of Angels.

New Edition as part City of Vancouver's Legacy Book Project, with foreword by historian Daniel FrancisWho Killed Janet Smith? examines one of the most infamous and still unsolved murder cases in Canadian history: the 1924 murder of twenty-two-year-old Scottish nursemaid Janet Smith. Originally published in 1984, and out of print for over a decade, this tale of intrigue, racism, privilege, and corruption in high places is a true-crime recreation that reads like a complex thriller.We are pleased to be reissuing this title as part of the City of Vancouver's Legacy Book Project. This new edition features a Foreword by historian Daniel Francis.Praise for Who Killed Janet Smith?"e; drug traffic, Roaring Twenties hedonism, official corruption, cutthroat competition among newspapers, a public taste for occultism, etc.-and entrust the whole works to a good storyteller, and you have one terrific political history of Vancouver."e; (Geist Magazine)"e;Starkins has written an engaging and well-crafted popular social history of Vancouver in the ostensibly hopeful, materially buoyant 'flapper era' between the end of the slaughter of the Great War and the onset of the Depression. He reveals the serious fault-lines and profound anxieties of a community emerging in this decade from both its recent frontier past and a costly war into becoming a settled North American city. this is a very worthwhile and informative case study, one that is likely to keep the conundrum in the title alive and encourage further research on the topic. And who did kill Janet Smith and why? Despite the author's attempt to follow up as many leads as he could find, the answer remains elusive. Despite the presence of a smoking gun, whose hand pressed the trigger is still a mystery, although in an updated afterword Starkins warms to one explanation.

These seven murders are perhaps the most sadistic serial killers to ever live.Albert Fish was a rapist, a child killer and a cannibal who not satisfied with the torture and murders of his young victims would write to the parents to detail all of the vile things he did to the children. One such letter in this book. Albert Fish may have been the sickest serial killer to ever live. He would keep his young victims alive for days and beat them constantly to tenderize their flesh for cooking.John Wayne Gacy, the Killer Clown, who raped and murdered young men then buried their bodies beneath his home.The Hillside Stranglers were a pair of cousins who for months terrorized the state of California. These two sadistic creatures would kidnap women, rape them and then strangle them to death before dumping their bodies along hillsides. No one would be safe from them, prostitutes, students, and children would be targeted by them. Rarely in the history of the world has two men worked so effectively together as killers.Carl Panzram bragged about murdering twenty-one men. He claimed to have raped over one thousand men and boys. This evil creature promised to kill anyone who bothered him and by keeping that promise with the murder of a fellow inmate finally got him the death penalty that he deserved.The Boston Strangler Albert Henry DeSalvo terrorized a major America city. The rapes and murders that were committed between 1962-64 are legendary. Thirteen women were sexually assaulted and strangled between the ages of 19 -85 years of age.Russian serial killer, Andrei Chikatilo murdered at least fifty-two women and children.
