Synopsis Summary of Jack Smith's The Scorecard Killer by : Everest Media,

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 On New Year’s Eve, three young men went to a party in San Juan Capistrano. They were looking for women, but they couldn’t find any. They were too drunk to remember how they got to the final party, and they were missing two hundred dollars. #2 On New Year’s Eve, Randy Steven Kraft was celebrating with his family. He was the youngest of four children, and he was a hit with his nieces and nephews because he listened to them. He didn’t look like a typical gay man of the time. #3 On January 3, 1976, four off-duty police officers came across a body in the Cleveland National Forest. The man had been tortured and sodomized, and his genitals had been cut from his body and placed in his anus. #4 The investigation was wearing on St. John. He had driven to Bedford Peak and scoured the same trail the crime lab crew had walked three weeks prior. They found some of Mark Hall’s skin where he had been dragged over the terrain to his final destination.

Synopsis The Scorecard Killer by : Brian Tucker

'Randy was one of the kindest men I ever knew. If he had something and someone needed it, he'd give it to them. So far as I know, he didn't have any special hobby, unless it was helping other people. He made me feel like I was somebody, and the biggest majority of men seemed to want to make me feel so much lower than them, and all they wanted was to take me to bed. In five months, Randy and I never really had sex. He was a true gentleman.' said a former girlfriend of Randy Kraft who was very lucky to have gotten out of it alive. On the outside Randy Kraft was a normal fellow, a successful computer programmer and part time bartender operating in sunny Southern California. On the inside Kraft was a lethal sexual sadist that may have committed at least as many as fifty or sixty murders. His victims were all male, mostly homosexuals, who Kraft would torture and mutilate, sometimes while his victim was still alive. Apparently Kraft had a great deal of problems coming to grips with his own homosexuality, to say the least. What was the driving force behind his killings? Author Brian Lee Tucker, once again, delves into the 'behind the scenes' aspect of the story, using information from documented interviews, taped confessions, newspaper coverage, magazine articles, and court transcripts, provides an in depth, behind the scenes look into the life and mind of 'the Scorecard Killer, ' a man so cruel, sadistic, and remorseless, that upon his arrest, investigators discovered a coded list depicting cryptic references to his victims, 'scoring them' on their sexual performance before killing them.

Synopsis The Casanova Killer by : Jack Smith

Paul John Knowles, nicknamed the Casanova killer, went on a 4 month killing spree in 1974. He still remains one of the lesser known serial killer of his generation. Read all about this psychopath who wanted fame before his life ended November 7, 1974 As she entered her home in Milledgeville, Georgia, all Ellen Carr probably had on her mind was going to bed. She was a registered nurse who worked a night shift, and although the small family welcomed the money, the job was a demanding one. Inside, the house was unnaturally quiet. She found that odd. Her husband, forty-five-year-old businessman Carswell Carr and fifteen-year-old daughter Amanda usually greeted her when she came home from the hospital. That wasn't the only sign that something was seriously amiss. As an investigator later put it, "The (place) looked as if it had been attacked by an animal." Mirrors were smashed. Slashed furniture lay everywhere, some of it in pieces. Books from the bookshelves littered the floor. Had they been robbed? Where were Carswell and Mandy? Heart pounding, Mrs. Carr ran from room to room, calling out. Minutes later, she was back outside, screaming hysterically. Neighbors called the police to what was obviously the scene of gruesome double homicide. Carswell Carr's nude corpse was lying face down on the couple's bed, hands bound behind his back and twenty-seven stab wounds, inflicted by scissors, all over his body. The medical examiner later determined that he had died of a heart attack, likely brought on by the torture. Down the hall, Amanda was also face down in her room, one nylon stocking tied tightly around her neck and the other shoved down her throat. To compound the horror, she appeared to have been raped after death. When Mrs. Carr regained her senses, she went through the house with the police and identified several things that were missing: Carswell's briefcase, shaving kit, credit cards, identification, and most of his clothing. While detectives searched for more clues, the murderer, wearing his victim's clothes, was in an Atlanta bar, flirting with a lady reporter. He told her his name was Daryl Golden, but his real name was Paul John Knowles, and he was destined to be remembered as one of most vicious and unpredictable serial killers of his generation.

Synopsis Slaughter on North Lasalle by : Robert L. Snow

On December 1, 1971, the bodies of Robert Gierse, James Barker, and Robert Hinson were found in their blood-spattered Indianapolis home. All three had reputations as prodigious womanizers, hard-drinking bar fighters, and unscrupulous businessmen--the kind of men with more enemies than friends. When detectives searched the home and discovered an address book used as a sex contest scorecard, their new suspect list included jilted one-night stands, jealous boyfriends, and husbands--dozens upon dozens of names. Sensational reports and rumors soon overwhelmed the investigation , and real answers eluded the police and the media alike for three decades, until Roy West, a detective with a reputation for cracking "unsolvable" cases, re-opened the files...

Synopsis Serial Killers: The World's Most Evil by : Nigel Blundell

One hundred years of the most depraved criminal minds—from H. H. Holmes and Ted Bundy to John Wayne Gacy, Ian Brady, and Myra Hindley. Their monikers have become part of the true crime lexicon: among them, the Moors Murders; the Hillside Strangler; Killer Clown; Son of Sam; the Love Slave Killers; the Scorecard Killer; and the BTK Strangler. On a scale of evil, they are the world’s worst serial murderers with a propensity for sadism and torture that is beyond the pale. What turned seemingly ordinary members of society into sick slayers? How did they justify their heinous deeds? And how did they get away with murder? For answers, true crime journalist Nigel Blundell looks behind the headlines to delve into the minds of monsters: David Parker Ray an “average working guy” with a torture chamber in his backyard; Fred and Rose West, married serial killers who counted their own children among their victims; Ivan Milat, a ritual killer who hunted backpackers in Australia; Gerald and Charlene Gallego, a sadistic couple who cruised Sacramento with kidnapping and murder in mind; and former Marines Leonard Lake and Charles Ng, who videotaped the darkest depths of their depravity in their secluded cabin in the Sierra Nevada foothills. Discover the truth behind the unspeakable crimes in this “anthology of evil . . . you can’t put down” (Dr. Michael Stone, forensic psychiatrist).
