True Crime Case Histories - Volume 16: 12 Disturbing True Crime Stories of Murder, Deception, and Mayhem
12 Disturbing True Crime Stories of Murder and Mayhem
Volume 16 of the True Crime Case Histories Series
*** This series can be read in any order ***
In the shadows of small towns and quiet suburbs, evil sometimes wears the most ordinary faces. This collection of twelve meticulously researched true crime cases uncovers stories that have largely escaped the national spotlight yet rival the most infamous cases in their shocking brutality.
A sampling of the stories
The Highway of Tears – A routine traffic stop on a snowy night led to a horrifying discovery—blood-stained tools, a child’s backpack, and a driver with an unsettling calm. As investigators unraveled the truth, they uncovered a series of brutal murders stretching across remote highways, where vulnerable women had vanished without a trace. But the most chilling detail? He wasn’t just killing—he was hunting.
Sacred Trust – For fifty years, a trusted church leader concealed a monstrous secret behind the walls of faith and fellowship. When the truth finally comes to light, the sheer depth of his deception shocks an entire community. How did he maintain his holy facade while hiding his darkest sins?
No Body, No Crime – She spent decades slipping through the cracks, reinventing herself across fourteen states, leaving no trace—until one final act of violence exposed her twisted game. As investigators closed in, she clung to one without a body, there’s no crime.
The Mission Valley Mall Murders – It started with a motorcycle breakdown on Christmas Eve—an inconvenience that should have ended with a tow truck. Instead, it sparked a night of unspeakable violence, leaving multiple families shattered and a community reeling. What led to the bloodshed, and could it have been prevented?
The Krug Park Killers – A jogger’s morning run led to a gruesome discovery—a young woman’s body, brutally murdered and arranged with chilling precision. As investigators peeled back the layers of the crime, they uncovered a twisted pact, dark rituals, and a belief system that turned murder into a sacrifice.
Apartment 9 – She thought she was safe. A quiet college town, a secure apartment near law enforcement, and a life filled with promise. But when a friend walked through her unlocked door, she stumbled into a nightmare—blood on the floor, the overwhelming scent of bleach, and a body left in the entryway. As investigators closed in, they uncovered a predator hiding in plain sight, his past more twisted than anyone could have imagined.
The Bedroom Basher – A ruthless predator stalked women in their own homes, terrorizing an entire city. But when police arrested the wrong man, the real killer was free to continue his reign of terror—while an innocent man paid the price. How did the justice system fail so catastrophically, and how many more suffered because of it?
Plus, five more shocking true crime stories.
From Australia's suburbs to America's heartland, these cases reveal how random encounters can lead to unspeakable crimes and how justice, though sometimes delayed by decades, eventually finds its way to the truth. Each story has been reconstructed through extensive research of court documents, police records, and firsthand accounts, offering readers an unflinching look at the darker side of human nature.
Volume 16 of True Crime Case Histories proves once again that reality can be more chilling than any fiction.

The amount of research that goes into these books is amazing.
Some absolutely shocking stories in this one, especially the one with the horrid police chief not allowing a girls family to search for her, ending up in her murder that could possibly have been prevented 😪.
The best thing about these books is that all of the evil people are caught and put away for life (mostly).
Jason Neal, keep the research & books up, I'm always on the lookout for when a new one is out!
