The Serial Killer Next Door: The Double Lives of Notorious Murderers

Summary

How well do you know your neighbors? Maybe you should get to know them better! Growing up, we are taught that monsters are easy to identify, but the truth is very different. Too often, the serial murderer does not stand out. Otherwise, he, or she, would get caught.

To their coworkers, neighbors, and others who knew them, they led unremarkable lives. They had careers as military pilots, police officers, landscapers, small business owners, farmers, realtors, reporters, authors, veterinary technicians, nurses, doctors, handymen, painters, and chefs, while they simultaneously stalked city suburbs, college campuses, trailer parks, and red-light districts. This chilling book looks at the horrifying stories of nearly thirty malevolent killers who were mistakenly trusted, including

● Genene Jones, a nurse responsible for the murder of sixty infants and children in her care.

● Robert Lee Yates, a helicopter pilot in the Army National Guard who, when caught, buried one body outside his bedroom window as his wife slept.

● Gary Ridgway, also known as the Green River Killer, who went undetected for twenty years.

● And dozens of other serial killers!
