    Investigate some of the most horrific but unheard-of tales of true crime in Unbelievable Crimes Volume Seven.In the seventh installment of this series, I'll visit some twisted cases that expose the wickedness some humans are capable of. From savage attacks and kidnapping to homicidal teens, I'm delving deep into lesser-known crimes and unearthing the depravity of the relatively unheard-of criminals. When you think you can't be shocked by true crime tales, think again.One such crime took place in 2017 in Lancashire, England. A young woman and her boyfriend were violently attacked for no other reason than their style of clothing. The beating they received was prolonged and brutal - simply because the couple wore gothic clothing.Another deviant crime I'll cover is straight out of a thriller movie. A mother of two is savagely beaten by her abusive ex-husband, kidnapped, and taken to a storage unit. She's locked inside and left to die in the damp, cold container. Can she escape before the freezing temperatures get her? Or will her violent ex succeed in his attempt to end her life?Then there's the gruesome case of a businesswoman abducted in Scotland in 2011. She was tortured in unimaginable ways before her murder. But why, and who would feel such anger toward her that they'd put her through such a cruel ordeal before ending her life?Learn more about these crimes, as well as other lesser-known cases, in Unbelievable Crimes Volume Seven. Please remember that this book describes real-life violence, assaults, and murder.For those new to the series, Unbelievable Crimes is written by a former small-town journalist turned true crime enthusiast. The series tackles hard-to-hear true tales that evaded headline news (mostly) despite the (or perhaps because of) barbarity of the crime.

  • - Robert Boatright, the Buckfoot Gang, and the Fleecing of Middle America
    af Kimberly Harper
    229,95 - 358,95 kr.

    Men of No Reputation is the first account to explore the life of Robert Boatright, one of Middle America's most gifted, but forgotten, confidence men. Boatright's story provides a rare window into the secret world of Missouri's criminal past, which influenced the methods of confidence men across the country. Boatright took the preexisting big-store confidence scheme and perfected it. With the assistance of a talented coterie of confederates known as the Buckfoot Gang, this "dean of modern confidence men" fleeced the gentry of the Midwest on fixed athletic contests in the turn-of-the-century Ozarks. Working in concert with a local bank and an influential Democratic boss, Boatright seemed untouchable. A series of missteps, however, led to a string of court cases across the country that brought his criminal enterprise to an end. And yet, the con continued. Boatright's successor, John C. Mabray, and his cronies, many of whom had been in the Buckfoot Gang, preyed upon victims across North America in one of the largest Midwestern criminal syndicates in history before they were brought to heel. Like the works of Sinclair Lewis, Boatright's story exposes a rift in the wholesome Midwestern stereotype and furthers our understanding of nineteenth- and twentieth-century American society.

Hastings Street was a thriving Black Business District known all over the world as a flourishing cultural and business community. This program of Negro removal by the government of that period included constant police harassment, false and illegal arrests, brutality, incarceration, the Draft and intimidation by city, county, and government officials. This abuse occurred over a long period of time until a special person joined these courageous young men, educating them, changing their outlook and insight, and preparing them to rebuild this neighborhood. A neighborhood that the government deemed unfit for human habitation before these youths were born.This novel is not only a part of Detroit's history, but is a true story. You or a family member may be connected to this great saga.

  • - How a Cold Case Condemned an Innocent Man to Hide a Family's Darkest Secret
    af Hillel Levin
    236,95 kr.

    For most families that have suffered the unsolved murder of a loved one, a successful cold case investigation can finally bring closure to their tragedy and, ideally, bring the perpetrator to justice. But in 2013, when LaPorte, Indiana, police detectives arrested Jason Tibbs for the murder of sixteen-year-old Rayna Rison twenty years before, they sent an innocent man to prison and they also removed a cloud over the victim's brother-in-law, Ray McCarty. MCarty had previously been indicted for killing her and, three years before that, impregnating her at the age of twelve. Today, Tibbs sits in an Indiana prison serving a forty-year sentence for killing Rayna Rison. His conviction in 2014 was partly due to failures in his defense and evidence that the judge would not permit in the trial. But the fact that charges were dropped against McCarty and then filed against Tibbs speaks to the remarkable influence of politics on the criminal justice system in northwestern Indiana. It also shows how easy it can be to concoct a capital case against an innocent man and how the touted triumphs of the justice system can sometimes go horribly wrong.Submerged tells the full story of the Rayna Rison case for the first time in meticulous detail. Drawing on countless interviews and a deep examination of the legal record, Hillel Levin tells the tragic story of a girl tortured by her family and failed by the justice system and proves Tibbs's innocence so that some justice in this story might still emerge.

  • - The First Subprime Mortgage Scandal, a White-Collar Crime Spree, and the Collapse of an American Neighborhood
    af Stacy Horn
    190,95 kr.

    In this groundbreaking work of investigative journalism and true crime, Stacy Horn sheds light on how the subprime mortgage scandal of the 1970s and a long history of white-collar crime slowly devastated East New York, a Brooklyn neighborhood that would come to be known as the Killing Fields. On a warm summer evening in 1991, seventeen-year-old Julia Parker was murdered in the Brooklyn neighborhood of East New York. An area known for an exorbitant level of violence and crime, East New York had come to be known as the Killing Fields. In the six months after Julia Parker's death, 62 more people were murdered in the same area. In the early 1990s, murder rates in the neighborhood climbed to the highest in NYPD history. East New York was dying. But how did this once thriving, diverse, family neighborhood fall into such ruin? The answer can be found two decades earlier. In response to redlining and discriminatory housing practices, the Johnson administration passed the Housing and Urban Development Act in 1968. The Federal Housing Authority aimed to use this piece of legislation to help low-income families of color finally achieve homeownership. But they could never have predicted how banks, lenders, realtors, and corrupt FHA officials themselves would use the newly passed law to make victims of the very people they were trying to help, and the devastation they would leave in their wake. A compulsively readable hybrid of true crime and investigative journalism, The Killing Fields of East New York reveals how white-collar crime reduced a prospering neighborhood to abandoned buildings and empty lots. Following the dual threads of the hunt for the network of criminals behind the first subprime mortgage scandal and the ensuing downfall of East New York, Stacy Horn weaves a compelling narrative of government failure, a desperate community, and ultimately the largest series of mortgage fraud prosecutions in American history. The Killing Fields of East New York deftly demonstrates how different types of crime are profoundly entangled, and how the crimes committed in nice suits and corner offices are just as destructive as those committed on the street.

  • - How the Camden 28 Put the Vietnam War on Trial
    af Michelle M Nickerson
    303,95 - 1.278,95 kr.

    A surprising look at the 28 Catholic radicals who raided a draft board in 1971--and got away with it. When the FBI arrested twenty-eight people in connection to a break-in at a Camden, New Jersey, draft board in 1971, the Bureau celebrated. The case should have been an easy victory for the department--the perpetrators had been caught red-handed attempting to destroy conscription documents for draftees into the Vietnam War. But the results of the trial surprised everyone, and in the process shook the foundations of American law, politics, and religion. In Spiritual Criminals, Michelle M. Nickerson shares a complex portrait of the Camden 28, a passionate group of grassroots religious progressives who resisted both their church and their government as they crusaded against the Vietnam War. Founded by priests, nuns, and devout lay Catholics, members of this coalition accepted the risks of felony convictions as the cost of challenging the nation's military-industrial complex and exposing the illegal counterintelligence operations of the FBI. By peeling away the layers of political history, theological traditions, and the Camden 28's personal stories, Nickerson reveals an often-unseen spiritual side of the anti-war movement. At the same time, she probes the fractures within the group, detailing important conflicts over ideology, race, sex, and gender that resonate in the church and on the political Left today.

  • - Revenge and Insanity on Trial in the Heartland
    af Stephen Terrell
    213,95 kr.

    Cold-blooded murderer or loving father driven insane? In early 1900s Indiana, John Terrell was the wealthiest man in Wells County, thanks to oil discovered on his farm. But when his youngest daughter, Lucy, became pregnant and entered into a forced marriage to abusive Melvin Wolfe, Terrell's life and fortune unraveled in a tumultuous spiral of murder, a dramatic trial, and a descent into madness. Wolfe's abuse of Lucy eventually drove her back to her parents' home. His continued harassment of the entire family became too much for John Terrell. He shot Wolfe in a roadside ambush, followed the wounded man to the doctor, broke into the operating room, and put a shotgun to the injured man's head before pulling the trigger. The murder made sensational headlines across the country. Terrell, a polarizing figure in the community due to his wealth and atheism, went on trial and faced the death penalty. His lawyer presented an insanity defense; over 150 witnesses testified, including a dozen high-paid experts for the defense. Yet Terrell was convicted in just 15 minutes. While awaiting sentence, his mental condition rapidly deteriorated; transferred to an asylum, he was ultimately proclaimed "insane." Until his death, the fierce debate raged: Had Terrell truly lost his mind? Or did he simply scam his way out of prison?

    Traiter du terrorisme n'est pas facile, il faut en parler surtout comme d'une menace. Il faut prudemment éviter de tomber dans le piège de l'extrémisme ou du racisme, certes, à la mode de nos jours, mais qui ne présente aucun avenir, sinon la culture de la guerre et l'incompréhension des peuples.Cet ouvrage est d'abord dédié à elles les victimes, celles dont on parle plus, même si depuis plusieurs années, de nombreuses associations sont créées et reconnues par des fonds d'indemnisation de l'Etat. La journée européenne du 22 février leur est également destinée. Certes, elle ne peut effacer les douleurs physiques et psychologiques subies, mais elle a au moins le mérite de ne pas oublier qu'une souffrance est toujours difficile à oublier, elle est également compliquée à gérer au quotidien, lorsque l'oubli est impossible. C'est seulement lorsque la victime est écoutée et comprise, que l'on peut envisager prudemment une reconstruction, voire un pardon, tout au moins une compréhension.Le terrorisme dans cet ouvrage est traité au sens large. Naturellement, il est parlé d'attentats, les plus connus et les plus médiatiques, comme celui du World Trade Center, ou celui de Munich durant les jeux olympiques de 1972, mais également des attentats qui ont causé un bouleversement dans le monde comme l'assassinat de Jean Jaurès dont on parle beaucoup actuellement avec la célébration du centenaire de la première guerre mondiale. Des hommes comme John Fitzgerald Kennedy oeuvrant pour la paix. Mais la dimension importante que je désire donner à ce livre est aussi un terrorisme à mon sens un peu moins connu, lorsqu'on assassine un magistrat le juge Renaud, un représentant de l'Etat comme le préfet Erignac ou encore un parlementaire comme la député Yann Piat. On s'attaque à une institution donc à un signal fort de l'autorité, c'est aussi une forme de terrorisme.
