In 1992, a store clerk was found shot to death in broad daylight at the Boot Village in St. Charles, Missouri. Nothing was stolen and there was no sexual assault. This bizarre and seemingly isolated murder was quickly connected with others in Indianapolis, Wichita, Terre Haute, and Raytown. The media dubbed the suspect "The I-70 Serial Killer." He has never been captured, and the story quickly fell out of the media's attention. But the cases never went cold for the officers in those cities.In 2021, with the advancements in DNA, St. Charles Police Captain Raymond Floyd launched a task force, bringing all jurisdictions together along with federal agencies to take one final crack at solving the crimes. The task force selected Bob Cyphers of KMOV-TV to follow them along, city by city, in the hunt for the killer. Cyphers and his KMOV crew produced a seven-part award winning series called "Chasing the I-70 Serial Killer." Their work led to national exposure of the case in People magazine and on the Discovery Channel, winning an Edward R. Murrow Award and being nominated for an Emmy.Dead End: Inside the Hunt for the I-70 Serial Killer follows on the work done by the task force with the important goal of keeping the story alive in the public eye. New evidence, never before available to the public, is revealed here, with the hopes of triggering a memory or revealing a new lead. The task force may be closed, but the drive to find this killer is alive and well.Anyone who may have information about the case should contact the I-70 hotline at 1-800-800-3510.

The New York Times bestseller--With an Afterword and a New Epilogue by the AuthorA New York Times Notable Book--Now a Netflix Film"Meticulously reported and beautifully written . . . a haunting and powerful crime story that gives voice to those who can no longer be heard."--David Grann, author of Killers of the Flower Moon and The Wager"Rich, tragic . . . monumental . . . true-crime reporting at its best."--Washington PostOne late spring evening in 2010, Shannan Gilbert ran through the oceanfront community of Oak Beach screaming for her life and was never seen again. No one thought much about what had happened to the twenty-four-year-old: she was a Craigslist escort who had been fleeing a scene--of what, no one could be sure. The Suffolk County police, too, seemed to have paid little attention--until seven months later, when an unexpected discovery in a bramble alongside a nearby highway turned up four bodies, all evenly spaced, all wrapped in burlap. But none of them Shannan's.There was Maureen Brainard-Barnes, last seen at Penn Station in Manhattan three years earlier, and Melissa Barthelemy, last seen in the Bronx in 2009. There was Megan Waterman, last seen leaving a hotel in Hauppauge, Long Island, just a month after Shannon's disappearance in 2010, and Amber Lynn Costello, last seen leaving a house in West Babylon a few months later that same year. Like Shannan, all four women were petite, in their twenties, and had come from out of town to work as escorts, and they all had advertised on Craigslist and its competitor, Backpage.Lost Girls is a portrait of the victims of the Long Island Serial Killer, of the underside of the Internet, and of the secrets we keep without admitting to ourselves that we keep them. Long considered "one of the best true-crime books of all time" (Time), this editionfeatures an afterword including the shocking fate of Mari Gilbert, Shannan's mother, for whom this case became the crusade of a lifetime, a new epilogue covering the most recent developments in the Long Island Serial Killer case, including the arrest, the missteps of the police investigation, and an updated timeline.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, a serial killer, who called himself the ZODIAC, terrorized Northern California with cold-blooded murders and a series of taunting ciphers and letters. His first set of three ciphers, considered at the time to be one, were sent to three newspapers in 1969. They were cracked by a couple within a week. On July 11, 2021, David Daniel read, where the Zodiac had stated in a letter, that the three ciphers contained his identity, but the couple and the authorities claimed that it wasn't there. David believed that the authorities had said the ciphers didn't reveal the Zodiac's identity for one reason-they couldn't find it. He knew it was there and he knew that he would find it. He looked at the first of the three ciphers-the one that the Zodiac had sent to the Vallejo Times Herald. Within three to seven seconds, he knew he had solved the nation's most notorious unsolved murder case. David studied the cipher further and looked at other ciphers that the killer had sent. One by one he cracked the ciphers and completely solved another. Within two minutes he had absolutely confirmed the secret identity of the ZODIAC killer multiple times. Law enforcement and cryptographers have been searching for his identity for over 50 years. Finally, the search is over. He has been found!

REVIEWS"A momentous book about murder, madness and moving". Dominic Walsh Journalist"We challenge anyone reading this book to let out a triumphant cheer or shed a silent tear. Simply brilliant and a fitting end to a trilogy." Filey Bay Today MagazineBloody Yorkshire 3 is the last book in the trilogy.Volume one gave us a gruesome sense of the gaols and their conditions. We learnt to experience the lives of the perpetrators until their inevitable executions. Usually (but not always). The condemned were murderers of women and children.A similar pattern followed in volume two, but drunkenness. Poverty and organised crime took precedence as criminals became more skilled and desperate.Volume three, however, changed something. The criminals and accomplices were as likely to be women as men. What does this tell us historically and sociologically? If you can't beat them, join them. Ultimately, perhaps women had just toughened up and demanded more from a life foreshadowed by war and uncertainty.All three books take us to see profound changes in the legal system. In Volume 3, we see criminals deemed unfit for trial and sent to special institutions. Also, women saw more lenient sentences, better befitting crimes driven by domestic violence.The journey through all three books shows us the changes to the justice system in its embryonic stages.Volume 3 includes crimes from around Yorkshire, including the notorious 'King of Criminals' Charles Peace and the murder in Bannercross Sheffield. Four murders from the Ilkley area. One of which was investigated by Jack Whicher (Suspicions of Mr Whicher) in one of his early cases for Scotland Yard.The book is of interest to True Crime enthusiasts and historians. Biographies,
