Synopsis
In one week, Raymond Lee Stewart went on a killing spree that left four people dead in Rockford, Illinois and two people dead in Beloit, Wisconsin. The murders terrified both communities. He was captured with the help of an F.B.I. profiler.
Just when Rockford and Beloit residents thought it was safe to go out again, Raymond Lee Stewart made a daring escape from jail. Once again, the community was terrified. He was re-captured after a two hour manhunt.
Greg Kelly was 10 years old at the time and living in Rockford. For Kelly, this was the boogeyman of his childhood. Fifteen years after the murders and the daring escape, Kelly was interviewing Raymond Lee Stewart as part of his job as Assignment Editor for WGN news in Chicago.
The book is a look at how the events in this story affected the lives of the people who were involved; the sister of the killer who claims that years of abuse led Stewart to his murderous path, the mother of one of the victims who forgave the killer and fought to get him off death row, the son of a victim who turned into an alcoholic after his father's murder, the police officer who shot and helped capture Stewart during his 1982 escape and an F.B.I. profiler who helped local authorities catch the killer.

About the Author
Author Greg Kelly vividly remembers the bitterly cold week in January of 1981 when an ex-con named Raymond Lee Stewart went on a killing rampage in the Rockford, Illinois area. In one week, Stewart shot and killed six men. Greg Kelly was a ten-year-old boy at the time, and the story captured his imagination. Never before had that kind of violence come so close to his life. Fifteen years after the crimes were committed, the debate on whether to carry out the death sentence for Stewart received national media attention when the powerful Cardinal of the Chicago Archdiocese, dying of cancer, gave his support to Stewart's bid for clemency. Kelly, now a newsman for WGN Television in Chicago, continued following the case to its inexorable conclusion.
