The True Crime Obsession
The year is 2001. I am 12 years old. I can see the book sitting on my mother’s nightstand. Hardback. I know it must be pretty damn special if it is a hardback. Right, when she walked in from the store with it this afternoon, the first thing she said to me came out like a double dare; “you are NOT reading this one.” Reading is the only escape from my pretty crappy childhood, and also one of the fondest and most vivid memories I have of my mother. I read anything I could get my hands on at this point, and the middle school library was getting a little “kiddy” to me if you catch my drift. My mom didn’t tell me what I could and couldn’t read, she encouraged it, gloating to everyone who would listen about my willingness to read adult books. Hardback AND I am not allowed to read it? Something was up, and I had to get my hands on it; I mean, she practically double dog dared me.

The Original Gone Girl
It has been nearly 50 years since Agatha Christie’s death but the “Queen of Crime” remains the best-selling novelist in history. Only the Bible and Shakespeare’s works have sold more copies than her books and her legacy shows no signs of fading.

The disappearance of Beverly Potts
As a parent, one of my worst fears is to outlive one of my sons. When they were younger, I worried about them constantly. The world is a dangerous place. Another fear is to have a loved one disappear without a trace. It’s nothing I can even imagine. With that being said, I wonder how Robert and Elizabeth Potts felt in 1951 after someone abducted their daughter Beverly.

Shoulder-length brown hair was a draw for Route 40 Killer, Steven Pennell. His first three victims fit the same physical profile, with this signature feature being most obvious. His fourth victim, Kathleen Meyer, was no different.
