Excerpt
"Okay. I admit it. I have a sick and twisted mind. I'm fascinated by murder. Ever since I was twelve and lived in the era of my favorite TV shows like "21 Jump Street" and "America's Most Wanted" I have been in awe of why killers do what they do. What pushes them to the brink of taking a human life? How did they feel after the act was committed? What went through their mind during the murder? How were they caught? Did they feel remorseful? Would they kill again if given the chance?
Let's keep it real and go there. Truth be told I know I am not alone. I know there are others with the same type of curiosity and fascination that I have regarding murderers and why they do what they do. For those as fascinated as I am, I have created a collection of the most notorious murders in Maryland from 1990 to 2008 that deserve the same recognition as the nationally known Richard Ramirez's, the David Berkowitz's (the Son of Sam), the John Wayne Gacy's, the Richard Speck's, or the Scott Peterson's. I mean, their slayings were just as brutal and if not, at some times, worse. Take for instance, Roberto Filley who strangled his two young daughters four year old Natalie and two year old Leslie because he and his wife were in the middle of a nasty custody dispute. Cops found their young bodies in their bedroom with ropes around their necks and a piece of wood used to tighten the ropes near their bodies. Or Darnell Cason, a notorious murderer who selected his victims in an ingenious robbery scheme that sparked the way Maryland's driver's licenses appear now. Who can forget Joseph Palcynski? This killer of five set off the largest manhunt in Maryland history. His reason for the rampage? Pissed because his girlfriend broke off the abusive relationship. Or what about Tonetta Lewis? A twenty four year old mother convicted of first degree murder for setting the house fire that killed her six children for insurance money. And William Lavar Brass - the fifteen year old killer who shot cab driver Donald Harry Grimes, a father of nine, for a gang initiation. They are all included in this wicked, heinous collection of Maryland murderers.
In June, 2000, two college students — Amy Shute and Jason Burgeson — were approached by a group of men. Forced into the backseat and driven to a remote location, they were murdered in cold blood.
Following this brutal double homicide, Johnston, RI D
A jaded cold case investigator finds himself trying to solve a thirty year old mystery when the skeletal remains of two missing teenagers are found in a national park.
