Book excerpt: Since the 1930s, Skid Row had been occupied by the working poor, and as unemployment rates rose, the streets of Skid Row were home to alcoholics, and petty criminals. In the 70s, Skid Row was occupied by a large number of Vietnam veterans as well as heavy drug users. Coupled with the failing infrastructures in the area, poverty, and homelessness, Skid Row was considered one of the most dangerous places in Los Angeles. Recounting the state of the neighborhood, Mellecker stated, "Anything south of First and Second streets you wouldn't go down there without a gun." It was in these streets that the serial killer later dubbed the Skid Row Stabber claimed his victims, with the first victim discovered on October 23, 1978.Who was the Skid Row Stabber?
Book Synopsis The King of Skid Row by : James Eli Shiffer
Download or read book The King of Skid Row written by James Eli Shiffer and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: City blue laws drove the liquor trade and its customers—hard-drinking lumberjacks, pensioners, farmhands, and railroad workers—into the oldest quarter of Minneapolis. In the fifty-cent-a-night flophouses of the city’s Gateway District, they slept in cubicles with ceilings of chicken wire. In rescue missions, preachers and nuns tried to save their souls. Sociology researchers posing as vagrants studied them. And in their midst John Bacich, aka Johnny Rex, who owned a bar, a liquor store, and a cage hotel, documented the gritty neighborhood’s last days through photographs and film of his clientele. The King of Skid Row follows Johnny Rex into this vanished world that once thrived in the heart of Minneapolis. Drawing on hours of interviews conducted in the three years before Bacich’s death in 2012, James Eli Shiffer brings to life the eccentric characters and strange events of an American skid row. Supplemented with archival and newspaper research and his own photographs, Bacich’s stories re-create the violent, alcohol-soaked history of a city best known for its clean, progressive self-image. His life captures the seamy, richly colorful side of the city swept away by a massive urban renewal project in the early 1960s and gives us, in a glimpse of those bygone days, one of Minneapolis’s most intriguing figures—spinning some of its most enduring and enthralling tales.

Book Synopsis A Jazz Age Murder in Northwest Indiana by : Jane Simon Ammeson
Download or read book A Jazz Age Murder in Northwest Indiana written by Jane Simon Ammeson and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gold digging, adultery, and a slaying on Valentine’s Day, 1923, in this “juicy . . . page-turner” of a true crime story (Chicago Tribune). It was a Roaring Twenties fatal attraction. Nettie Herskovitz was wealthy and widowed when she met Harry Diamond. The attentive, irresistibly sexy twenty-three-year-old suitor would become Nettie’s fifth husband. He was also a bootlegger, pimp, and first-class hustler who thought he’d wed a goldmine. What Harry found instead was a fiercely independent older woman who was nobody’s fool for long. Then, on February 14, 1923, Harry tried to secure his inheritance by shooting Nettie four times, once at point blank range to the head. He blamed the crime on their teenage African American chauffeur. Harry might have gotten away with it, if not for one little oversight. Nettie wasn’t dead. With its combination of sin, sex, high-society scandal, and even the interference of the Ku Klux Klan, the case against the movie-star handsome Harry Diamond moved beyond tabloid fodder to become the most sensational trial of the era.

From Ancient Rome and the Dark Ages to the open roads of America, from the exploits of French religious zealot Gilles de Rais to such high-profile monsters as Jeffrey Dahmer and Aileen Wuornos, Katherine Ramsland offers a complete chronological record of the serial-killer phenomenon—and the parallel development of psychology, forensic science, and FBI profiling in the serial killer’s evolving manifestation throughout human history.
