Three little girls went missing from Centinela Park in Los Angeles in June, 1937. After a massive search Boy Scouts found their bodies in an isolated Baldwin Hills ravine two days later. Melba Marie Everett (9), her little sister Madeline Everett (7) and their friend Jeanette Stephens (8) had been brutally raped and killed. S.C. Stone was still in prison for the 1924 murders of young sisters Nina and May Martin (see Uncivil Twilight), so he is easily ruled out as a suspect. Citizens of Inglewood thought they knew the real killer was the same man that killed the Martin sisters in 1924, not Albert Dyer, a feeble-minded man sentenced to hang for the three little girls' deaths. Book 2 of The Colder Case Series continues the investigation of true crime child murders and covers the most brutally tragic crime in the history of Los Angeles County. Did two sisters and their friend get justice?

A killer killed two little sisters, Nina and May Martin, and left them in the Angeles Mesa in 1924. Two more little sisters were murdered with their friend in 1937 and their bodies were found within sight of the 1924 crime scene. In 1931 another little girl, Virginia Brooks, was murdered and her body was found in a gunny sack on a mesa near San Diego. Her murder is still a cold case. Were all three crimes connected? Join the hunt for possibly one of the most cunning serial killers of the 20th century, one who was never caught, one who was happiest when someone else was convicted of his murders.Book 3 This third book in The Colder Case Series details the facts surrounding the similar murder of little Virginia Brooks in 1931. Her killer dumped her body in a barren mesa near San Diego, like the five little bodies found in the Angeles mesa. Her cause and manner of death was similar. The investigators did all they could with the science available to them, and tried so hard to follow trace evidence it is now a fascinating look into the history of forensic science, including entomology and horticulture; yes, bugs and bushes might still solve this 1931 cold case. Ask the San Diego Police Department's cold case squad to take another look.

While Albert Dyer was on trial for the murders of little sisters Madeline and Melba Everett and their friend Jeanette, another shocking case on the other side of the United States terrified the nation. Little Joan Kuleba was the next little girl to suffer at the hand of a possible serial killer, and she definitely suffered a lack of justice if the wrong man was convicted of her murder. In the spirit of Court TV, here it is, the entire trial record on appeal, spelling out how justice bent on tunnel vision abandoned a 4-year-old murder victim. This is the fourth book in The Colder Case Series, colder because little girls are murdered and colder because when the wrong person is sentenced to death, the case is still unsolved and the real killer is still free to kill again.

This book chronicles the early lives of 18 young people who influenced the direction of the history of Canada.
