Synopsis

Peter Woodcock was Canada's youngest serial killer when at the age of seventeen he brutally raped and murdered two boys and a girl between the ages of four and nine. He was never put on trial by "reason of insanity" and instead was confined for 34 years in a criminal psychiatric facility and offered treatment. On July 13, 1991 he finally had earned his first day pass ever and allowed to briefly go off the facility grounds into town to visit a DQ for an ice cream. What Woodcock did within the first hour of his first day pass stunned many people and made national headlines. INCLUDES GRAPHIC PHOTOS

About this title

Review:

"Bourrie describes each criminal incident in detail and also introduces readers to the young man who was wrongfully accused of the first murder. In addition, he provides background on psychotic killer Bruce Hamill, the man who helped Woodcock/Krueger to murder, mutilate and sexually assault Dennis Kerr in 1991. The twistiness of that story shows how easy it is for psychopaths to hide their demented plans behind normal facades."-- Dr. Katherine Ramsland, Psychology Today  Full review at: psychologytoday.com/blog/shadow-boxing/201602/these-crimes-are-not-sensitive-ears
