One month ago, my wife and some of the other women in the neighborhood decided to clean out the attics and hold a combined garage sale. Towards the end of the sale when most of the other wives have left a creepy guy in a white van shows up and starts to look at everything --- a bit too long, around 35 minutes.He is interested in every item and asks questions like, "do you have more of these (coins, comics, books, baseball card, dvds, etc.) for sale in the house?" Then he tells Lynn (the woman who was holding the sale) that he was a plumber/electrician/carpenter and he was will to work cheap and he noticed a section of shingles on Lynn's roof that appeared to be loose and could lead to water damage.At this time my wife slipped away to call me (only four houses away.)When she was gone, he asked to see the attic and when Lynn refused he asked to use the bathroom.This is when I showed up.Before I confronted him, I walked up to his van and took the plate number.This caused him to drop his act and with out another word he drove away. Five days ago I received SEX KILL in the mail.One of the chapters was about a man who answered classified ads early in the morning in order to rape housewives who are still in their robes and pajamas.The account was terrifying and struck accord with me. I reported the garage sale incident and the plate number to the police who did have a previous report of a man passing out home improvement flyers door-to-door who tried to force his way into a home. When they retrieved a flyer, they discovered that the phone number on it was bogus and the investigation turned cold.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the abhorrent nature of the pervert/rapist/killer as cautionary tales, yet not to fall into the same traps as so many other unfortunate victims. But I would also offer this warning: SEX KILL is a hard and brutal read that accurately reflects a hard and brutal world.
Product Description
Inside the twisted mind of the sex killer, lust and murder are inextricably linked.He needs to control, terrorize and degrade his victims.Too often, violation becomes torture and murder- and sometimes, the unholy desecration of the deceased.Here, from the detective and police magazines of the 1950s, is a casebook of the most infamous sex fiends ever to stain the true crime annals of the first half of the 20th century.Nightmare figures, many of whom continue to haunt our popular culture and motion pictures:Ed Gein, sex butcher and necrophile who inspired Alfred Hitchcock's PSYCHO; Leopold and Loeb, collegiate thrill killers captured in the classic film COMPULSION; and the Lipstick Killer, whose scrawled plea, “Stop me before I kill more” was the basis for Fritz Lang's WHILE THE CITY SLEEPS.Less well-known but equally malignant are such monster men as Earle Nelson, the Gorilla Killer; John Green, the “walking dead man” turned strangler-rapist; and the Ax-Man who stalked Chicago.
