Synopsis
In a creepy true-crime account, Rasmussen, an attorney, presents evidence that a series of grisly unsolved murders across the US in the 1930s and 40s were carried out by the same killer. They include the 1947 Black Dahlia case, Los Angeles' most famous real-life murder mystery, as well as a number of cases from the Midwest. Rasmussen offers an account of the killings and the evidence pointing to the identity of the murderer--who died in a fire in the 1980s. He includes information such as a synopsis of the victims and a transcript of the interrogation of a young man who went to prison for three of the murders--wrongly, Rasmussen believes. The facts march forward in workmanlike rather than literary prose; the volume is illustrated with b&w photos, many of which come from the original investigations and are not for the faint of heart.

Hardcover / Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First edition. Hardback. Evidence supporting the connections between the Cleveland Torso Murders, the murder of socialite Georgette Bauerdorf, the murders of Josephine Ross and Frances Brown, the murder and dismemberment of Suzanne Degnan, the murder and bisection of Elizabeth Short (The Black Dahlia), the murder of Jeanne Axford French (The Red Lipstick Murder) and other victims. The murderer killed his victims, one after the other, and then vanished. These were horrific crimes committed by a psychopath madman. Fear gripped the city. When would he strike again? Hundreds of policemen thought they had sifted through every shred of evidence, but subtle clues and corroborating evidence left behind by the real killer were overlooked. Seventeen-year-old William Heirens was eventually arrested for 3 of the murders. He confessed and was sentenced to 3 consecutive life sentences in 1946. Heirens is the longest-serving living inmate in the Illinois penal system. Now, the author has uncovered evidence that will show, with reasonable certainty, not only that someone else may have committed the murders but also the culprit's identity. An intriguing true story. The pieces and history of this true crime puzzle will surprise even the most seasoned detective. Chapter headings include : Torso Murders; The Case Against William Heirens; Georgette Bauerdorf, Elizabeth Short, Jeanne Axford French, and Other Los Angeles Victims; Synopsis of Victims; Chronology of Torso Murders and Other Related Murders; Comparison of Quotes From Experts; William Heirens' Murder Confession: Suzanne Degnan. Illus., Epilogue, Notes, Bibliog. + Index. 194pp. lge. 8vo. h/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. in F. dw. Seller Inventory # 16827
