An anthology of haunting murders written by acclaimed true-crime writer Michael Benson and his “boots on the ground,” Private Investigator Donald A. Tubman. Featured stories include the murders of Joanne Lynn, Pamela Moss, Shari Smoyer and Jack King, Tammy Jo Alexander, Damita Gibson, Victoria Jobson, Kelley Gaffield, Cathleen Krauseneck (The Brighton Ax Murder), Brittanee Drexel, Regina Mae Armstrong, Loretta Jo Gates and Terri Lynn Bills, plus many more—including updates on Rochester N.Y.’s Double-Initial Murders and the “Genesee Junction” murders of George-Ann Formicola and Kathy Bernhard.
Wow!! I never realized how many horrific murders and missing women have been occurring in the Genesee Road area, over the past 70 years...Now, when a light is shone over the various victims, it is too tragic to know that some of these killers of mothers, daughters, sisters, friends and even grandmas have so far remained unknown and unpunished still.
Good stories that remain unsolved. If you are from Rochester then you will be familiar with some of them. They vary in length but all are interesting and tragic. I took a star off because there are numerous grammar errors that should not have been missed.
The author has a very casual writing style. It feels like you are sitting in an easy chair listening to him reminisce about past cases. These haunting homicides are unsolved, and for each one, a contact number is provided for any reader who has information to share.
While cold cases are interesting to read about, each one represents a person who is deceased or missing and someone has thus far gotten away with their crime. By missing, I mean law enforcement is certain the person has been murdered, but the body has never been recovered.
