Story4.5 out of 5 stars 35
The lone survivor trembled as she pleaded with investigators.... For over 40 years, the events of what happened at Gitchie Manitou the night of November 17, 1973, remained a mystery to all but a few. Then the lone survivor broke her silence. Five teenage friends had driven to the park to spend a few hours around a campfire. By morning, four had been murdered, and only she was still alive. Gitchie Girl Uncovered is a chilling account of the strange twists and bizarre details discovered by an elite team of investigators under intense pressure to catch the killers.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 74
In the tranquil region of southeast South Dakota, word of the young mother who was brazenly abducted from her home in broad daylight shocked residents. Piper Streyle was the second woman to vanish, following the startling incident of a young woman who narrowly escaped abduction by fighting for her life on a dark and secluded highway. An intensive search by an elite team of investigators uncovered a secret crime location, but the discovery of a nightshirt cut in half, a burnt candle, and a homemade bondage board revealed the chilling truth behind the missing women.

In 1927, while the majority of the township of Bath, Michigan, was celebrating a new primary school - one of the most modern in the Midwest - Andrew P. Kehoe had other plans. The local farmer and school board treasurer was educated, respected, and an accommodating neighbor and friend. But behind his ordinary demeanor was a narcissistic sadist seething with rage, resentment, and paranoia. On May 18 he detonated a set of rigged explosives with the sole purpose of destroying the school and everyone in it.

In 1851, Olive Oatman was a 13-year-old pioneer traveling west toward Zion, with her Mormon family. Within a decade, she was a white Indian with a chin tattoo, caught between cultures. The Blue Tattoo tells the harrowing story of this forgotten heroine of frontier America. Orphaned when her family was brutally killed by Yavapai Indians, Oatman lived as a slave to her captors for a year before being traded to the Mohave, who tattooed her face and raised her as their own.

Sure, she had extravagant spending habits, that petty attitude, a total disregard for anyone below her status. But she also had a lot to offer. Most notably: wealth that only the one percent could comprehend. For years, Lucas has been honing a flawless plan to inherit Michelle’s fortune. Unfortunately, it involves taking a hit out on her. Every track is covered, no trace left behind, and now Lucas plays the grieving husband so well he deserves an award.

To solve the murder, she must investigate the nearby Amish community with the help of a man who was shunned years ago. At first glance, the case seems obvious. The poor girl was probably accidently shot during hunting season, but when the elders of the Amish community and even the girl's parents react with uncaring subdued behavior, Serenity becomes suspicious.

To solve the murder, she must investigate the nearby Amish community with the help of a man who was shunned years ago. At first glance, the case seems obvious.

Story4 out of 5 stars 178
Alan Gregory is a clinical psychologist with a thriving practice in Boulder, Colorado. His life begins to unravel when one of his female patients is found in an apparent suicide and the local paper begins printing accusations from an unnamed source of sexual impropriety between the woman and Dr. Gregory. He launches a psychological and personal quest for the truth that rapidly intensifies when more of his patients die untimely deaths, and Gregory suspects not only that the deaths are related but that another one of his patients may be somehow involved. Lacking facts but roused by suspicion and troubled by seemingly random acts of terror around him, Gregory starts to fear for the safety of the people he loves. The question of the inviolability of confidential disclosures made to Gregory by his patients - privileged information - becomes crucial as the psychologist pursues an unsettling romance with Lauren Crowder, a lovely deputy district attorney investigating one of the deaths. Bound to silence, Gregory follows the psychological tracks of someone he fears may be a cunning and disturbed killer, while turning to his enigmatic but supportive partner, Diane Estevez, for counsel, and to his tart-tongued female urologist neighbor for support. The sinister, surprising drama unfolds against Boulder's Rocky Mountain backdrop, in the arresting natural beauty of Aspen, and in the midst of a baroque Halloween costume party in downtown Boulder. Finally, in a lonely mountain lodge enshrouded in menace, the story comes to its breathtaking climax.

Cari, 37, was a devoted mother, reliable employee, and loyal friend - not the type to shirk responsibilities, abandon her son, and run off on an adventure while her dying father took his last breaths. Yet, the many texts from her phone indicated she had done just that. While Cari's boyfriend, Dave Kroupa, and her supervisor were bewildered by her abrupt disappearance, they accepted the texts at face value. Her mother, Nancy Raney, however, was alarmed and reported Cari missing.

On a chilly November afternoon in 1998, a tearful 36-year-old man walked into the Humboldt County Sheriff's Department in Eureka, California, and confessed to something horrible. "I hurt some people," he said. Inside his pocket was the ghastly proof of his statement. But there was more to Wayne Adam Ford than the trail of mangled victims he left behind. More, even, than the twisted predator inside, which drove him to increasingly perverse sexual appetites.

One by one, three waterlogged suitcases were pulled from the Chesapeake Bay. In each were body parts of a man. In a forensics room, the truth was discovered: William McGuire had been horribly murdered and dismembered. William and his loving wife, a registered nurse named Melanie, had just closed on their New Jersey dream home. But Melanie had been involved in a long-term affair with a married doctor at the fertility clinic where she worked - and she had plans for the future that didn't include William.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 11
Based on five years of investigative reporting and research into forensic psychology and criminology, Erased presents an original profile of a widespread and previously unrecognized type of murder: not a hot-blooded, spur-of-the-moment crime of passion, as domestic homicide is commonly viewed, but a cold-blooded, carefully planned, and methodically executed form of erasure. These crimes are often committed by men with no criminal record, men leading functional and often successful lives until the moment they kill the women, and sometimes children, they claimed to love.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 150
For 10 years, the California Interstate 5 highway was haunted by a dangerous serial killer. Incredibly skilled at staying ahead of the investigators as the bodies started to pile up, there wasn't enough evidence to charge the culprit with murder even once he'd been identified. Instead, they had to build a first-degree murder case in a few months while the killer was locked up on an assault conviction. Key to this was a cast of four: Vito Bertocchini, Kay Maulsby, Ray Biondi, and Faye Springer.

Tense, horrific, inspiring. A real horror movie
Such a good book. Told from the POV of Sandra, the sole survivor, and the police detective who believed in her, the book is a tense recollection of what happened that night and the aftermath that followed.
Sandra is such a true survivor, and an inspiration. She had a rough life before the murders and rape, and then dealt with isolation and scrutiny after. Yet, she went on and managed to live the most normal life she could. She's tough!
The book is a little slow at the beginning, talking about Sandra's upbringing, but gets nail biting intense and stays that way. You find yourself wanting to comfort Sandra and stand with her through this ordeal.

Gripping and tragic
Any additional comments?
As edge-of-your-seat as true crime gets. Have to admit that I'm totally creeped out. Easy to understand why ghost hunters still visit the site of this epic tragedy today. The lone, very young survivor was unbelieveably brave and stalwart in facing the monstrous perpetrators at trial. This is the stuff that horror movies and nightmares are made of.

The Gitchie Girl is someone I would aspire to be like, after reading her story of resilience through traumas and ending in the triumph of life!
Exciting "story" and well written & narrated.

Great read from an amazing survivor!
What did you love best about Gitchie Girl?
I had the privilege of meeting Sandra at a local book signing in Lennox, SD. (Not so many miles from where all this occurred) I was only 5 yrs old when this happened, so had heard nothing of it until recently. Great story from the heartache & tragedy to triumph.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Gitchie Girl?
The excitement of locating "the Boss". I found myself excited when he was located & when the other 2 brothers were recaptured after their escape. I cannot imagine the sense of relief for her!
Have you listened to any of Callie Beaulieu’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Never have - she did a good job.

Heartbroken for Sandra
This book was an easy read/listen that kept me enthralled from the beginning to the end. It was an incident I had never heard of before this book came out as it happened years before my birth. Being from the Midwest my whole life and only a hundred miles from where this happened it makes you very much aware of the evil that is in the world.

Decent read - kinda short though
I decided to listen to this book after hearing a Podcast where the author, Phil Hamman, was interviewed. I was a little disappointed in the actual book since I felt it was short for a True Crime novel. However, learning more about Sandra was really great. She is an inspirational person. I wish there would've been more facts related to the crime & trials.

Another very hook
I chose rhis title because it was a true story of a crime in the rural midwest. Surprises kept poping up which kept me glued though I did postpone one to continue another time. No time is spent on the lives of the killrrs....
