Once inside, the stranger pulled a gun on Ed and his wife, Grace, handcuffed and hogtied the couple and opened the door for his partner. After filling six suitcases with silver and gold coins, they fatally shot Davies in the head twice and his wife once, then fled. Hours later, with a bullet lodged in her head, Grace crawled out to the sidewalk where a neighbor found her. Eventually the killers were found, tried and convicted of murder. Trying to get a reduced sentence, one told the prosecutor that a third year law student named Gloria Killian was the mastermind of the crime. The prosecutor went after her with zeal, and she was tried, convicted and sent to jail, all the while proclaiming she knew nothing of the crime. While in jail, she began advocating for the humane treatment and release of women in prison. Ten years later, one of the defense attorneys discovered massive exculpatory evidence, hidden documents, prosecutorial misconduct and perjury. Then Gloria Killian's own fight for freedom began. Full Circle, tells for the first time, the riveting story of a shocking murder that involves Hells Angels, misguided cops, backroom deals, profound lies and life and death sentences. Relentless, exciting and gripping, this true story shows how a life can be ruined in a split second. Finally, Full Circle makes the terrifying point that what happened to Killian can happen to anyone.

But when he disappeared in September 2001, his wife, Elisa, claimed he joined a cult. When Larry’s body was found in a shallow grave three months later, Elisa was already gone. In a red convertible Jaguar, her brown hair dyed blond, Mrs. McNabney was speeding toward a new life in Florida—and a brand new identity. Who was Elisa McNabney?

Download or read book Last Call written by Elon Green and published by Celadon Books. This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **WINNER OF THE EDGAR® AWARD FOR BEST FACT CRIME** A "terrific, harrowing, true-crime account of an elusive serial killer who preyed upon gay men in the 1990s." -The New York Times (Editor's Pick) "In this astonishing and powerful work of nonfiction, Green meticulously reports on a series of baffling and brutal crimes targeting gay men. It is an investigation filled with twists and turns, but this is much more than a compelling true crime story. Green has shed light on those whose lives for too long have been forgotten, and rescued an important part of American history." -David Grann, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Killers of the Flower Moon The gripping true story, told here for the first time, of the Last Call Killer and the gay community of New York City that he preyed upon. The Townhouse Bar, midtown, July 1992: The piano player seems to know every song ever written, the crowd belts out the lyrics to their favorites, and a man standing nearby is drinking a Scotch and water. The man strikes the piano player as forgettable. He looks bland and inconspicuous. Not at all what you think a serial killer looks like. But that’s what he is, and tonight, he has his sights set on a gray haired man. He will not be his first victim. Nor will he be his last. The Last Call Killer preyed upon gay men in New York in the ‘80s and ‘90s and had all the hallmarks of the most notorious serial killers. Yet because of the sexuality of his victims, the skyhigh murder rates, and the AIDS epidemic, his murders have been almost entirely forgotten. This gripping true-crime narrative tells the story of the Last Call Killer and the decades-long chase to find him. And at the same time, it paints a portrait of his victims and a vibrant community navigating threat and resilience.
Download or read book Angels of Death written by Gary C. King and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2003-09-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The accused: Thirteen-year-old Derek King and his twelve-year-old brother, Alex, Sunday school students with choirboy looks. The victim: Their own father. After midnight on November 26, 2001, someone bludgeoned Terry King to death while he slept, and set his Florida home afire. By the time the firefighters extinguished the blaze, King’s sons, Alex, twelve, and Derek, thirteen, were at the home of their forty-year-old friend, Ricky Chavis, a convicted child-molester. By the next afternoon, following confessions, both boys were charged as adults in their father’s slaying. Chavis was tried separately for the same crime—incredibly by the same attorney who would prosecute Alex and Derek, and argue two contradictory theories. When Alex divulged his sexual relationship with Chavis, the trial took a sensational turn. So did Alex and Derek, who recanted their confession and blamed Chavis to no avail. A jury convicted the boys of second-degree murder, but the judge threw the verdict out. Chavis was acquitted. But the case wasn’t over. As more disturbing revelations came to light, as criminal motives became more complex, and as the line between guilt and innocence was crossed, a stunned nation watched in disbelief to learn the ultimate fate of the . . . Angels of Death.

Book excerpt: America’s #1 true-crime writer fulfills a murder victim’s desperate plea with this shattering New York Times bestseller. “If anything ever happens to me…find Ann Rule and ask her to write my story.” In perhaps the first true-crime book written at the victim's request, Ann Rule untangles a web of lies and brutality that culminated in the murder of Sheila Blackthorne Bellush—a woman Rule never met, but whose shocking story she now chronicles with compassion, exacting detail, and unvarnished candor. Although happily ensconced in a loving second marriage, and a new family of quadruplets, Sheila never truly escaped the vicious enslavement of her ex-husband, multi-millionaire Allen Blackthorne, a handsome charmer— and a violent, controlling sociopath who subjected Sheila to unthinkable abuse in their marriage, and terrorized her for a decade after their divorce. When Sheila was slain in her home, in the presence of her four toddlers, authorities raced to link the crime to Blackthorne, the man who vowed to monitor Sheila's every move in his obsessive quest for power and revenge.

Book Synopsis Everything She Ever Wanted by : Ann Rule
Download or read book Everything She Ever Wanted written by Ann Rule and published by New York : Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 1992 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Pat Taylor and Tom Allanson found in each other the kind of romantic love that others only dream about. She was a delicate and beautiful Southern belle and he was a tall handsome man who could circle her tiny waist with his massive hands. Both came from fine families, bound to the genteel traditions of the Old South. And both shared the same hope for their future: to recreate for themselves a plantation where they would raise and show horses, grow roses, and move with grace and style in the highest social circles of Atlanta. Pat often thought of herself as Scarlett O'Hara; and in Tom she'd finally found her Rhett, a man who adored her and vowed to give her everything she ever wanted. They were costumed as Scarlett and Rhett on their wedding day. But scarcely two months later, their perfect world erupted into gunfire, terror, bloodshed, and murder. Their beautiful plantation mysteriously burned to the ground, and Tom Allanson stood accused - and was convicted - of the brutal slaying of his mother and father." "This is the bizarre true story of the horrifying tragedy that overtook Pat and Tom Allanson, from its roots in their tangled family histories to its shocking aftermath in the attempted murders of other innocent victims. It is also the suspenseful story of how Atlanta detectives found the single thread that tied together an alarming series of crimes. The cast of characters is complex and memorable: Walter and Carolyn Allanson, Tom's parents, who detested his new wife and paid with their lives; old Paw and Nona Allanson, Tom's grandparents, who narrowly escaped death from arsenic poisoning; the Siler clan, Pat's family, who fiercely protected their own and stared out at the rest of the world with a "crystal gaze"; Margureitte Siler Radcliffe and her husband the Colonel, Pat's mother and stepfather, who had never denied her anything - and never would. Finally there is the compelling Pat herself and her own children, Susan, Debbie, and Ronnie - all caught up in a whirlwind of emotions and desires. And when the story ends, both families lie in ruins, victims of the crimes and cruel machinations of a most improbable perpetrator." "In this, Ann Rule's eighth true-crime book, she has chosen a subject who defies the imagination, a sociopath whose evil is cloaked in soft words and gentle manners, yet who is also capable of heartless manipulation, murder, and even self-mutilation. The author's meticulous recounting of heedless ambition and selfish passion alternately arouses and chills the senses. The story of the Silers, the Allansons, the Radcliffes and the Taylors will become a classic in its genre. Its truth is its horror. Its horror is its truth."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Book excerpt: " A] Sensational story of sin and violence . . . Fascinating . . . brilliantly organized, thoroughly reported and sharply written . . . Evidence of Love stands among the very best." --Los Angeles Times Book Review Candy Montgomery and Betty Gore had a lot in common: They sang together in the Methodist church choir, their daughters were best friends, and their husbands had good jobs working for technology companies in the north Dallas suburbs known as Silicon Prairie. But beneath the placid surface of their seemingly perfect lives, both women simmered with unspoken frustrations and unanswered desires. On a hot summer day in 1980, the secret passions and jealousies that linked Candy and Betty exploded into murderous rage. What happened next is usually the stuff of fiction. But the bizarre and terrible act of violence that occurred in Betty's utility room that morning was all too real. Based on exclusive interviews with the Montgomery and Gore families, Evidence of Love is the riveting account of a gruesome tragedy and the trial that made national headlines when the defendant entered the most unexpected of pleas: not guilty by reason of self-defense. Adapted into the Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning television movie A Killing in a Small Town, this chilling tale of sin and savagery will "fascinate true crime aficionados" (Kirkus Reviews). "A bizarre story well-researched and superbly written and told with just enough suspense to keep the reader turning pages." --Fort Worth Star-Telegram "An extraordinary book . . . As compelling as the best fiction and as thorough as the best history." --Dallas Times Herald "Gripping as true crime drama, the book is also distinguished by its social and psychological insights." --Library Journal "Carefully researched . . . this middle-American tragedy should fascinate true-crime aficionados." --Kirkus Reviews John Bloom is an investigative journalist and the author of nine books. A Pulitzer Prize nominee and three-time finalist for the National Magazine Award, he has written for Rolling Stone, Playboy, Newsweek, and the Village Voice, among other publications. In addition to coauthoring, with Jim Atkinson, true crime classic Evidence of Love (1983), he penned, most recently, Eccentric Orbits: The Iridium Story (2016), an Amazon Best Book of the Year So Far heralded by the Wall Street Journal as "a panoramic narrative . . . big, gutsy, exciting." Bloom has also written several books of humor and film criticism and hosted television shows as his alter ego, Joe Bob Briggs. He lives in New York City. Jim Atkinson is an award-winning reporter, television correspondent, and crime writer. The founding editor of D, the magazine of Dallas, he has contributed to Esquire, Gourmet, GQ, Texas Monthly, and the New York Times, among other publications.

Download or read book True Story written by Michael Finkel and published by Harper Perennial. This book was released on 2006-08-15 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On February 2002, New York Times Magazine writer Michael Finkel received a startling piece of news: a young man named Christian Longo, wanted for killing his entire family, had been captured in Mexico, where he'd taken on a new identity: Michael Finkel of the New York Times. The next day, on page A-3 of the Times, came another troubling item: a note from the editors explaining that Finkel, having falsified parts of an investigative article, had been fired. Nonetheless, the only journalist Longo would speak with was the real Michael Finkel, and so Finkel placed a call to Oregon's Lincoln County jail, intent on getting the true story. So began a bizarre and intense relationship—a reporting job that morphed into a shrewd game of cat-and-mouse. Part mystery, part memoir, part mea culpa, True Story weaves a spellbinding tale of murder, love, and deceit with a deeply personal inquiry into the slippery nature of truth.

Wood and Graham were convicted for murder and sentenced to prison. Graham received five consecutive life sentences; Wood a total of twenty to forty years.
