Body Dump: Kendall Francois, the Poughkeepsie Serial Killer (.ePUB)
The author of the true crime classic Lobster Boy now turns his investigative skills to the chilling true story of Kendall Francois, one of the most bizarre serial sex-killers of modern times.
HOOKER HUNTER
In October, 1996 women began vanishing off the streets of Poughkeepsie, New York. All were young, pretty, and petite. Most were hustlers and crackheads. By August 1998, as the toll reached eight, a victim’s mother said bitterly, “When they find one, they’ll find them all.” She didn’t know how horrifyingly right she was.
HULKING AND HOMICIDAL
At the height of the manhunt, prostitute Christine Sala, hysterical, told police she had barely escaped being strangled by Kendall Francois, 27, a 6’4," 300-lb. middle-school hall monitor whose slovenly personal hygiene had earned him the nickname “Stinky.” When caught, Francois said that he’d killed the women because they hadn’t given him all the sex he claimed he’d paid for.
HOUSE OF HORRORS
Investigators in white bio-hazard suits entered the house where Francois lived and found eight female corpses, almost all decomposed. Some were placed in plastic bags together in the attic. Others lay in shallow graves in the crawl space under the house. It was such a tangle of rotting flesh and bones, even the investigators couldn’t tell how many bodies there were. Now, sentenced to life in prison without parole, the man whom others dismissed as a smell oaf had finally been unmasked as one of the most bizarre serial sex-killers of modern times.
Includes pages of disturbing photos.
When Satan Wore a Cross (.ePUB)
In 1980 in Toledo, Ohio—on one of the holiest days of the church calendar—the body of a nun was discovered in the sacristy of a hospital chapel. Seventy-one-year-old Sister Margaret Ann had been strangled and stabbed, her corpse arranged in a shameful and stomach-churning pose. But the police’s most likely suspect was inexplicably released and the investigation was quietly buried. Despite damning evidence, Father Gerald Robinson went free.
Twenty-three years later the priest’s name resurfaced in connection with a bizarre case of satanic ritual and abuse. It prompted investigators to exhume the remains of the slain nun in search of the proof left behind that would indelibly mark Father Robinson as Sister Margaret Ann’s killer: the sign of the Devil.
When Satan Wore a Cross is a shocking true story of official cover-ups, madness, murder and lies—and of an unholy human monster who disguised himself in holy garb.
There But for the Grace of God: Survivors of the 20th Century’s Infamous Serial Killers (.PDF)
They stared into the faces of pure evil . . . and survived!
Ted Bundy . . . Jeffrey Dahmer . . .
David "Son of Sam" Berkowitz . . . Dennis Rader, the BTK Killer . . .
These are some of the names that strike terror into even the bravest of hearts. Human monsters, they preyed upon the unsuspecting, freely feeding their terrible hungers. Their crimes were unspeakable, as they maimed, tortured, killed, and killed again, leaving so many dead in their bloody wake. But somehow, astonishingly, seven would-be victims fell into the clutches of the century’s worst serial killers—and escaped death through courage, divine providence, or just plain luck.
This is the remarkable true story of those who lived.
