True Crime Case Histories - Volume 14: 12 Disturbing True Crime Stories of Murder, Deception, and Mayhem
12 Disturbing True Crime Stories of Murder and Mayhem
Volume 14 of the True Crime Case Histories Series
*** This series can be read in any order ***
Not everyone can stomach the grim details of True Crime. Yet, for some, an unshakable allure draws them closer - be it a quest for justice, a desire to understand the mind of a killer, or curiosity about how the cases were solved.
True Crime Case Histories Volume 14 brings to light twelve new stories spanning the past fifty years, exposing the depths of human depravity.
A sampling of the stories
The Cosplay Cam Girl - A young woman's rise from obesity and debt to a successful cam girl and cosplayer takes a dark turn when her tumultuous relationship ends in a brutal murder.
The Castle Doctrine - When a man who dedicated his life to protecting America from foreign threats finds himself unable to keep his own home secure, he takes matters into his own hands.
A Bad Actor - A struggling actor's desperate pursuit to fund his dream wedding leads him to commit the ultimate betrayal.
The Frame-up - When a woman is brutally murdered, all evidence points to her husband. But when others keep dying, police worry they've jailed the wrong killer.
Room 308 - A young woman's dream of exploring the world turns into a nightmare when her online date goes terribly wrong. As investigators unravel the sinister truth, they expose a deadly predator hiding in plain sight.
Death of a Cheerleader - A beautiful model's pursuit of stardom takes a sinister turn when she meets a photographer for a photo shoot and never returns.
Plus, several more disturbing true crime stories, including a bonus thirteenth chapter at the end.
These stories expose human depravity at its absolute worst—pure evil. We may never really understand what goes on inside the mind of a killer, but at least by studying the case histories and knowing their backstory, we might gain insight into what makes them tick. With any luck, we can learn from the past.
Included in this Byron Smith, Haile Kifer, Nicholas Brady, Timothy Wilson Spencer, Carolyn Hamm, Susan Hellams, Melissa Turner, Matthew Tressler, Grace Millane, Jesse Kempson, Robin Cornell, Joseph Zieler, Julie Kibuishi, Sam Herr, David Wozniak, Pamela Hupp, Betsy Faria, Russ Faria, Tina Marie Harmon, Robert Anthony Buell, Joanne Hebert, Kelly Prosser, Krista Harrison, Linda Sobek, Charles Rathbun, Joshua Webb, Nathan O'Brien, Douglas Garland, Melanie McGuire, Jeffrey Franklin.

Amazing as always
Jason Neal has become my favorite true crime author! (Sorry Robert Keller). Although he only covers ten cases vs 18, the chapters are long and provide so much detail and information. I only had heard of the cam girl murder on 48 Hours but the rest of the cases are more obscure which us TC fanatics adore. Can't wait for the next book!

Photos
It would be nice to have photos of the people in each section, especially pictures of the killers as well as the victims.

Such horrid people in the world, I'm just glad they're where they should be now, in prison.
The poor victims and their families, especially when they had to wait so many years for justice 😪, only good thing is that they did in the end, even if it would only be a little help to know this.

Maybe show pictures of the victims and suspects. Crime scene if possible. It helps to visualize the how the whole story comes together.
