Double Homicide: Two Tales of True Crime
Two riveting true crime sagas—of a mother who murdered her two sons, and a sex-crazed serial killer who terrorized Montana—together in one volume.
In this terrifying collection, veteran reporter and former Wall Street Journal editor John Coston recounts the disturbing crimes of Ellen Boehm and Wayne Nance, two seemingly ordinary citizens who killed for the most twisted and selfish reasons.
Sleep, My Child, Forever : Single mom Ellen Boehm appeared to be a devoted mother. But in reality, she was unequipped for motherhood, financially strapped, and desperate. Within a year of each other, her sons, ages two and four, died mysteriously, and Boehm’s eight-year-old daughter suffered a near-fatal accident when a hair dryer fell into the girl’s bath. Det. Sgt. Joseph Burgoon of St. Louis Homicide soon unraveled a labyrinth of deception, greed, and obsession that revealed a cold-blooded killer whose get-rich-quick scheme came at the cost of her children’s lives.
To Kill and Kill Again : To neighbors, Wayne Nance appeared to be an affable, considerate, and trustworthy guy. No one knew that he was the “Missoula Mauler,” a psychopath responsible for a series of sadistic sex slayings that rocked the idyllic town between 1974 and 1986. His victims included a preacher’s wife, a teenage runaway, and a female acquaintance. Then, one September night, Nance pushed his luck, preying on a couple that lived to tell the tale.

True Crime
To Kill and Kill Again: I ha e long been interested in this story but was disappointed when I read it. I think the author could have improved the book by adding to the mood and suspense by not giving up so much at the beginning. The story of is good i just felt that it could be told differntly.

Great reading on both stories. It was told in such a way for me, that I found it hard to really dislike this woman. I don’t condone her actions however she is one of those lost souls that has no hold on emotional reality. I guess that is why she could so easily do what she did to her boys. I think Deanne is an awesome human being, doing the right thing inspite of her friendship. Lives matter!
