Open the pages of this true crime anthology to learn about twelve more true crime stories that shocked communities and grabbed headlines around the world. You will learn about tragic cases of family annihilation and relationships gone horribly wrong. Among the most shocking of these cases is the murder of the Westerhuis family in South Dakota, who on the outside appeared to by an all-American family, but inside they harbored a felonious secret. A trio of politically motivated murder stories will also keep you intrigued and glued to the pages of this book. Two of the cases involve hate crimes committed in the United States, while the other was the first major act of Islamic terrorism in the U.S. The three cases were also examples of organized crime, much like the murder of Australian biker Wayne Rodney Schneider. You may be shocked when you learn that the criminal investigation of Schneider’s murder has uncovered suspects from two different continents and that the actual crime took place on a third continent. Unfortunately, many of the cases profiled in this book involve innocent victims, such as nine-year-old Amber Lucius who was murdered by her own mother. Now that you have been warned, open the pages of this book and learn about twelve more high-profile true crime murder cases. You may be distributed at times, but if you enjoy learning about forensic science and criminal investigation procedures, then this is the book for you!
