Betsy Aardsma at Penn State in 1969 is an interesting one, in my opinion. She was a grad student attacked in the Pattee Library's "Stacks" one evening while researching, but nobody'd realized she'd been stabbed until she arrived at the hospital. Her red dress and minimal blood apparently led people to think she'd simply had a seizure.
It's also possible her murderer told people "Somebody better help that girl" as he fled the scene. Murder in the Stacks by David DeKok (2014) puts forward a fairly compelling theory about her potential attacker. Tragic to think such a high-profile murder with multiple possible witnesses has gone unsolved so long.
During Katrina, there were some serious questions raised about the care given to patients at Memorial Hospital:

http://www.npr.org/2013/09/10/220687231/during-katrina-memorial-doctors-chose-who-lived-who-died
There's also a very good book about this: Five Days at Memorial.
for anyone who is interested in reading a horrific account of life in a hospital when the hurricane hit, i highly recommend this book. The life and death decisions that had to take place are absolutely third world. A fantastic and dark read for sure.

The Innocent Man. It was largely responsible for the answer that I give when people ask me why I am an ADA- Someone is going to do this job. I trust myself to question, to work, not to slide into laziness or complacency. I don't trust others to do a job this important. I do it because it matters.
But as for why the law in general? When I was in high school I read The Tempting of America. I could not have disagreed with it more strongly. I STILL inherently disagree with basically the entirety of Robert Bork's jurisprudence. However, it was an eye opener- this is what "the law" is about. It showed me that the law can have both big ideas and petty squabbles, and that they can both be equally interesting.
Correct. If you read books by Robert Keppel, John Douglas, etc., you'll find many instances of serial killers having select killings they won't talk about or admit to. The Keppel book I linked to goes into great detail about how Bundy wouldn't talk about his first murder or his necrophilia. NOTE: I read the book probably 20 years ago and have no idea what Keppel may have changed since the Green River Killer was caught.
Bundy was asked if 34 was an accurate number, and he responded add one digit to that, leading to speculation of 130+ victims.
In Defending the Devil his appeals lawyer reveals he confided 35, though a conclusive list of victims was never forthcoming, as he hoped to use this as leverage against the death penalty (and also psychopathic power games.)
To find the silver lining, it was exactly the failure of that approach that led Gary Ridgeway, a far more dangerous killer, to cooperate with authorities to spare himself the death penalty.
Also I wouldn't say compulsive liar per se; I'd say someone for whom truth has no objective meaning. A liar knows he's lying; a sociopath compartmentalizes.

> You could make the argument that the real racism was not in enforcing the law enough in black neighborhoods. But that is not the argument that liberals like Coates usually make.
Well it's the argument they should make.
See [here] (https://www.amazon.com/Ghettoside-True-Story-Murder-America/dp/0385529996/). Leviathan should have a monopoly on violence in a country. Where it doesn't, where people cannot lean on big brother to keep them safe, it becomes rational, even necessary, for people to cultivate an image of toughness, to have violent propensities, to fight extremely seriously over silly insults and who insulted whose momma and slept with whom. Add guns, add drugs, add drug war, and you have Chicago or Baltimore.
If you don't fight and have the right image, you look weak and will be picked on. A high bullying + draconian punishment for a few randomly chosen perpetrators equilibrium is stable. So is a low bullying (lower policing too) state where it's taken for granted even small infractions will be reported and lead to trouble.
On this view, black America's problem is not excessive policing. It's that the state has ceded its monopoly over violence, and needs to gain it back, by increasing the probability of conviction and sentencing given black-on-black crime.
IMO that argument is a lot more persuasive than BLM, though it does well to keep BLM points about the perception of brutality / impact upon the innocent in mind, if only to improve its own effectiveness at policing.
Not sure if some type of medical text book or crime scene text book.

Looked into it:

Says "This is in a book called "Apocalypse Culture" by Adam Parfrey
http://www.amazon.com/Apocalypse-Culture-Adam-Parfrey/dp/0922915059
I'd recommend picking it up along with the 'sequel' book. AC II."
Edit 2: in the past it seems that some users were concerned the caption was fake. Saying that the device appeared to function more like a flesh light then a dildo.
I know it's Canada, not the US... but London, ON is (unofficially) known as having one of the, if not the, highest density of serial killers compared to population from the 60's to the 80's. It's actually why we have the Block Parent program up here.
I you haven't read this book, it's a good one: https://www.amazon.ca/Murder-City-Canadas-Capital-1959-1984/dp/1460261828
I happen to be Russian and I live in the same city where Chikatilo committed most of his crimes. I've been looking through both English and Russian webpages and I can't find any info anywhere. It could be another book on serial killers, perhaps this one https://www.amazon.com/Encyclopedia-Serial-Killers-Pocket-Books/dp/0671020749 ?
So you expect Gov. Hogan to run Maryland's Twitter feed?
Do you really think the State of Maryland is wasting money on a PR campaign for a PCR proceeding? Maybe I'd agree with you if there was a pro-guilt podcast, or a celebrity taking up the banner for Hae's family, or even Hae's family taking an active part in the media surrounding the case. None of that is happening.
On the other hand, we have TV shows in which Adnan's defense team and advocates were interviewed, but the State's weren't (http://www.investigationdiscovery.com/tv-shows/adnan-syed-innocent-or-guilty/).
We have TV segments in which Adnan's defense team and advocates are interviewed (http://www.msnbc.com/shift/watch/the-docket-serial-special-part-ii-422338627656).
We have Adnan's alibi witness going on television shows (http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/twist-adnan-syed-serial-murder-trial-41610902).
We have two books discussing Adnan's innocence (https://www.amazon.com/Adnans-Story-Search-Justice-Serial/dp/1250087104 and https://www.amazon.com/Confessions-Serial-Alibi-McClain-Chapman/dp/1682611582/).
And I haven't even reiterated the things I mentioned earlier in this thread. Take a look at all that, and tell me which side appears to be using the media in this case.
If this shit interests you, you should check out a book called The Last Victim. The author spent a good bit of time while in college writing back and forth with John Wayne Gacy pretending to be Gacy's "Perfect target." He got close enough to him that they were having weekly phone calls, and Gacy even paid to fly him over to visit him. He apparently also wrote to Manson, Ramirez, & was one of the few that Dahmer replied to before getting killed. Manson's replies, though were unreadable chicken scratch, and Ramirez was a bit too freaky (He pretended to be a satanic admirer and Ramirez was wanting details about how he abused his gf, and was asking him to send bondage porn). The author went on to work in criminal defense, and was said to have a gift to get criminals to talk. That said, it seemed to have gotten to him as he killed himself at 31.
The article didn't make any mention about Pat O' Reilly, and it only really brings up the possibility Wellstone was the victim of political assassination to get people thinking and to research into it. The timing was perfect and many of the witnesses and first responders accounts seem to dispute what the official story of the crash says.
I know eye witnesses tend to be unreliable in chaotic situations, but virtually no one corroborates the official account, and details of the crash seem to suggest foul play.
The FBI treated the crash site like a crime scene, and forbade reporters from taking photos of the crash and intimated those who tried to. The NTSB claimed the weather was bad, which turned out to be false, and that the pilots were incompetent, though records show they were experienced and had no recorded history of poor flying.
This book compiles all the evidence suggesting an assassination rather than a tragic accident:
http://www.amazon.com/American-Assassination-Strange-Senator-Wellstone/dp/0975276301
She is a terrible witness because she is a publicity hound who has made a second career out of being the Adnan Alibi lady. I mean, just look at her book, it tells you all you need to know:
https://www.amazon.com/Confessions-Serial-Alibi-McClain-Chapman/dp/1682611582
It's from Kratz's book according to the credit on the photo. "Avery: The Case Against Steven Avery"
https://www.amazon.com/Avery-Against-Steven-Making-Murderer/dp/1944648003
Which means that KK is including photos that were from the Prosecution CASE not put in EVIDENCE.
Interesting to note that the prosecutor in that case is also the author of the BOOK about the Avery case...

Lots of good recommendations already! And I'm getting lots more to add to my to-read/to-watch list, thanks!
I read The Innocent Man by John Grisham several years ago and it still sticks with me. https://www.amazon.com/Innocent-Man-Murder-Injustice-Small/dp/0345532015
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is another good one that I kept forgetting was actually a non-fiction book. A gay love affair, high society parties, a drag queen named the Lady Chablis, what's not to like?! The movie is also fantastic. https://www.amazon.com/Midnight-Garden-Good-Evil-Berendt-ebook/dp/B003JMFKVK/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1496104450&sr=1-1&keywords=midnight+in+the+garden+of+good+and+evil
A (long) article written by Sheri Fink about the incident. She expanded it into a book called Five Days at Memorial.
This interview with Karen Greenlee, a lady necrophile, was published in Adam Parfrey's Apocalypse Culture some two decades back. Pretty interesting.

The Last Victim
by Jason Moss. Only book that’s ever made me feel both physically dirty and compelled to keep reading at the same time.
The author started corresponding with serial killers—including Ramirez, Dahmer, Manson, and Gacy—in college for a project (think he was studying forensic psychology?) and it kind of consumed him. He ended up corresponding a lot with Gacy and actually visited him in prison before Gacy was executed. To put it briefly, Gacy really, really fucked with Moss’s head. I don’t want to suggest any spurious correlations here, but Moss ended up committing suicide six years after the book was published.
I highly recommend this book if you’re interested in psychology. It’s so interesting. But, fair warning that Gacy is just fucking gross. That’s obviously a given, but there’s a lot of direct quotes from Gacy that make you really confront that grossness at a mind-bogglingly gross level. I realize I’m not doing a super good job of selling this book, but I promise it’s really good! You just have to know what you’re getting yourself into.
Kayla Hounsell recently released a book on the Will Sandeson murders, she covered that trial extensively.
Could that be what you are thinking of?
It's all in the book:

I really enjoyed Who Killed Betsy? by Derek Sherwood. It's about Betsy Aardsma, who was stabbed once in the heart and killed in a library at Penn State University in November 1969. You can learn more at the author's web site
There's another book about the murder that I haven't read yet. It seems to come to the same conclusion. I need to read that one too.
Edited to fix a run-on sentence
The Picture of Dorian Gray is one I've wanted to read. It is a bit short at only ~220 pages.
In Cold Blood by Capote is another one I've been meaning to read.
And last night was fun. Great to meet everyone!
It is a paradox, but the way it works is the cops mainly only focus on drug crimes, and not the theft and violence. these communities want the murderers and thieves locked up, but the police arent doing it.
who in their right mind would testify in one of these communities when you know the cops wont protect you? highly recommend the following book:
https://www.amazon.com/Ghettoside-True-Story-Murder-America/dp/0385529996
I'm not going to disagree with you. I think it is incredibly counterproductive to ignore the fact that the assaults are mostly being committed by a specific demographic, but I also think it's disgusting to use these attacks to justify racism. People on both sides get so sensitive and emotional that actual productive discussions constantly get thwarted.
The annoying truth is that it is an incredibly complex problem with no one solution. Over the years an innumerable amount of really smart people, from doctoral-level researchers, to experienced police, to political and community leaders, have spent countless hours trying to figure out solutions to this kind of violence with rather unimpressive results. So I'm not going to sit here and tell you I know the answers either. One thing I will say is that history has shown that in environments without adequate law enforcement and lack of respect for the law, an alternative order is established through lawlessness. There are many aspects to this but one common theme through the ages is that honor and respect take on a new level of importance for many people in these situations.
If you are interested in learning more I would highly recommend the following books:
Slugg by Tony Lewis Jr.
This is an autobiography by the son of a D.C. drug kingpin whose father was sent to jail for life when the author was still young. He recounts his own experiences growing up in the streets, being part of a neighborhood set, and even committing random acts of violence on strangers. Takes place during the 90s in Shaw.
Ghettoside by Jill Leovy
Literary journalistic look at black on black violence and homicide in urban communities. She fuses personal narratives with statistics and history in a very interesting, readable, and unbiased way.
In Cold Blood by Truman Capote.
There's a book called Ghettoside by Jill Leovy. Basically, the idea is that high crime areas like inner city Baltimore don't suffer from overpolicing, but underpolicing.
There are so many murders that just go unsolved in the ghetto that it becomes more and more common. Basically, as it becomes harder to solve a murder, it simultaneously becomes much more important to do so.
Please let us know which ones you end up doing!
After reading the book "Adnan’s Story" by Rabia Chaudhry, I'm pretty convinced that he's not guilty.
Out of curiosity, how do you feel about Michael Grieshbach's book and the book Ken Kratz says he's writing?
Does that also count as cashing in, and do you consider that disrespectful of the victim's family?

I think you would enjoy this book.

This is in a book called "Apocalypse Culture" by Adam Parfrey
http://www.amazon.com/Apocalypse-Culture-Adam-Parfrey/dp/0922915059
I'd recommend picking it up along with the 'sequel' book. AC II.
Amazon has a listing that has a release date of January 24, 2017. I was a bit skeptical of the listing because I don't trust Amazon to filter scams, so I searched the publisher, BenBella Books (The Perseus Books Group) to see if it was legitimate. It appears to be. The title is Avery: The Case Against Steven Avery and What "Making a Murderer" Gets Wrong. I hope that is just a working title. Surely he can do better than that!
(edited: wrong date)
Hmm... that's a good question. I don't have a great answer, but you might try John Grisham's "The Innocent Man". It's a nonfiction book about a man who was wrongly incarcerated for murder, but it's written in Grisham's novel style. It's been probably 10 years since I read it, so I can't remember the details, but it certainly deals with police investigations and the judicial system.
I believe you are looking for this: https://www.amazon.ca/First-Degree-Medical-School-Murder/dp/1771086661
Related: Have you read the book The Last Victim? If you like true crime and can handle something really dark, it’s pretty unique for the genre.
It’s written by a guy who struck up a bizarre relationship with Gacy after Gacy was in prison. The kid was pen pals with quite a few serial killers, but it spun way out of control with Gacy. It ended up very literally destroying his life.
COWS by Mathew Stokoe amazon
Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk amazon
The Wasp Factory by Iain Banks amazon
Contingency Cannibalism: Superhardcore Survivalism's Dirty Little Secret by Shiguru Takada amazon
Apocalypse Culture by Adam Parfrey amazon
Eat Thy Neighbor by Daniel Diehl and Mark P. Donnelly amazon
We So Seldom Look On Love by Barbara Gowdy amazon
Those are just a few of my favorites.. by far COWS is the worst on the list.. You feel like you need a shower after finishing it, but at the same time if you're as into morbid stuff as I am, it's oddly cathartic in that you'll feel no need to scour the depths of the interwebs for nastiness for days (maybe weeks) afterwards..
Mindhunter is more focused on the facts of the cases.
It offers interesting insight into how the BSU learned to work backwards from the evidence to describe what the perpetrator was like. (Assaulting a victim from behind might indicate a killer has facial disfigurement or massive insecurity and struggles to interact face-to-face, a black person could operate in black neighborhoods with out raising suspicion like a white person would, and so on.)
The Riverman by Robert Keppel is my favorite of the 'tracking serial killers' genre. Ted Bundy is enlisted to help find another serial killer, The Riverman.
Bundy uses his 'expertise' to talk about what a killer like The Riverman might be thinking or doing. Bundy spoke in the third person about crimes like these so his interviews wouldn't damage his ongoing legal appeals.
The Riverman would be more like Season 2 of Mindhunter where the Atlanta case takes a long time to solve.
I also like Keppel's I Have Lived in the Monster: Inside the Minds of the World's Most Notorious Serial Killers
I also like that Keppel doesn't project the same ego as Douglas. Douglas is more lead singer, Keppel is more rhythm guitar.
Be sure to read this book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
and visit this home/museum: Mercer Williams House.
Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. Its true crime. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo can be considered a crime novel though it is more suspense. I can't really think of anything else to add.
It's from a book. Not a common phrase though but the book is very popular.
http://www.amazon.com/Midnight-Garden-Good-Evil-Savannah/dp/0679751521
Fiction or non-fiction?
Fiction: Special Assignments (also published as The Jack of Spades and The Decorator) by Boris Akunin does this well in the second tale (the stories are distinct but interrelated). By the same author, The Coronation does a section from the antagonist's perspective. It could also be a good choice for a book club, as it's a nod to Conan Doyle and paralells a classic Holmes story.
For non-fiction, anything by John Douglas (the original profiler. Many characters on FBI-type TV shows have been based off him). Also Riverman by Robert D. Keppel, which contains conversations with Ted Bundy about the possible motives of the Green River Killer. True crime writer Ann Rule wrote The Stranger Beside Me about her relationship with Ted Bundy.
While none of the non-fiction books are from the serial killer's perspective, they all offer insight into what makes these people tick.
Except not: "Confessions of a Serial Alibi" (http://www.amazon.com/Confessions-Serial-Alibi-McClain-Chapman/dp/1682611582/180-8424432-2962149?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0). You do see the difference, don't you? The OP was being unfair, and tendentious, since Asia has never claimed to be "the alibi", just "an alibi" for a particular period of time. So it is not unusual that she would have no claim about whether Adnan was guilty or not, because her evidentiary knowledge is limited to what she experienced first hand..

There is a book called "murder city" which outlines how at one point in history London had more serial killers per capita than any city in the world. But it was almost 60 years ago iirc
https://www.amazon.ca/Murder-City-Canadas-Capital-1954-1984/dp/1460261828
Pretty sure I got it from Murder City. Or my mom trying to scare me as a kid.

This is excellent, excellent outreach; I'm so glad to know that this is happening. For "law and order" to be effective, I think it's imperative that police officers become part of the fabric of the community - and that they live that community's experience right along with its residents. I recently read an AMAZING book called "Ghettoside" (link here!) about detectives in Los Angeles trying to work against the history of systematic oppression and neglect of impoverished, mostly African-American communities that has contributed to the violence and senseless murders found in inner-city areas. And those detectives do exactly this: be present in the community. Interfacing. Being part of the police force apart from the "policing" shown on TV. While you may not ever be a detective in inner-city LA, I thought it was an incredible book and highly recommend it - to you or anyone reading this thread!
And THANK YOU for your service :)
Oh yeah, and Mary Pinchot Meyer was married to Cord Meyer of the CIA, although divorced from him at the time of the JFK 'assassination.'
Peter Janney, whose family has connections to the CIA, just wrote a book that speculates that Mary Pinchot Meyer was murdered in 1964 because she knew too much.

One of my favorite books is Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives by David Eagleman. It's 40 short stories, like 2-3 pages long with 40 possibilities of what happens after death. It is so incredibly creative and really makes you think! It's a super quick read, too. I honestly could not put it down.
I don't want to spoil it, but here is the Amazon page for it, which has some examples if you'd like to read them. ;) For example, "In one afterlife you may find that God is the size of a microbe and is unaware of your existence" or "In a different version of the afterlife you work as a background character in other people's dreams." And those aren't even the coolest ones! I 100000% recommend you get this book!
If I were to win, I would like

Then they went ahead and did it for him. Source
For anyone who is looking for a narrative to read more about D.I.D., check out the book entitled "The Minds of Billy Milligan." This book is based off a real person, Billy Milligan, who developed 24 distinct personalities within himself after a traumatic childhood experience with his father. Some of them are men, some are lesbians, one is right-handed, one is Yugoslavian... it gets pretty detailed. Probably the worst case of DID recorded to date.
In the story, Billy's alternate personalities committed several felonies and he was arrested for them, but pleaded insanity on the count of him not being able to remember what he did because his alternate personalities were acting instead of him. This was the first real prominent case of Multiple Personality Disorder (now known as DID), and one of the first few cases where someone's been acquitted because of an insanity plea. Great book, easy read, check it out!

You may like this book then.

true, but I'd add that the case against capital punishment in US and everywhere is that innocent people end up on death row. the innocent man by john grisham {his only/first non-fiction book and imo his best.} I agree though, the policy itself of executing non-violent offenders and worse, their questionable laws that can lead to death row - yikes.
I often characterize the bush family as having the morality of vampires, and am treated as though I'm exaggerating, but being connected as they are with these animals, honestly I think its too kind a comparison.
Here's a book on him (http://www.amazon.com/Minds-Billy-Milligan-Daniel-Keyes/dp/0553263811/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1303701743&sr=8-1).
Are the other identities "blacked out" when one is in focus?
The book is called "Murder City", link to Amazon below to show you. However, it can be purchased downtown in local London bookstores.
There is some "weight" to the theory, but as others have pointed out, this city does not take critical analysis of any kind very well. Ironically because this city revolts so strongly against any bad press, and always has, this has allowed some pretty dark things to exist here.
When they are brought to light, more often than not the reaction is "oh, that happened in the past, we are not like that now."
Here's the book:

Read Ghettoside. The historical policing, or lack thereof, in African-american communities is the thesis of the book.
Paul Wellstone and his family were likely assassinated by the Deep State for standing up to the senseless globalist wars in the Middle East. We must never forget so it doesn't happen again to political leaders who face down the Globalist Military Industrial Complex. You know who I'm talking about.

Remember MN Sen. Paul Wellstone's plane crash? There were a lot of competing stories and strange coincidences after the crash. Supposedly he was killed because he was one of the few Senators opposed to Bush's policies. Rove chose Norm Coleman to run against Wellstone in 2002. Wellstone's plane crashed just days before election day.
There was a book written about it.
Do you ever find clothes in your closet that you don't remember buying? Have you ever found yourself in a strange place with no recollection of how you got there? Have you ever gone to sleep on a Tuesday and woken up on a Friday?
Do you ever hear voices?
The minds of Billy Milligan is a biography of a man with dissociative identity disorder. Your local library probably has a copy. Just reading a few chapters would probably be enough for you to figure out whether dissociative identity disorder is the right label for you. The labels aren't really important, except that they give you a heuristic for which treatments might be helpful.
I'm glad you consider your alters important, because they are. All of them are you, and you are important, so all of them are important.
This book helps explain in detail how many people were murdered who were connected with King's assassination
I'd recommend the A to Z encyclopedia of serial killers. My personal favorite.

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil ? (More for the monochromatic cover than the description, I think, but worth a look, just in case.)

Daniel Keyes wrote a book called The Minds of Billy Milligan

...as long as people are willing to spend $23 on Rabia's book - http://www.amazon.com/Adnans-Story-Murder-Justice-Captivated/dp/1250087104 - it's worth all the insanity. It's just business.
It did. Became big news for a while

Oh yeah, and Mary Pinchot Meyer was married to Cord Meyer of the CIA, although divorced from him at the time of the JFK 'assassination.'
Peter Janney, whose family has connections to the CIA, just wrote a book that speculates that Mary Pinchot Meyer was murdered in 1964 because she knew too much.

Tell your friend it's already been done from the inside out:
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Library/Shelf/atack/
Then have him read about the dangers of thinking you can outwith master manipulators, and ask him to think really long and hard about this project of his and whether he has anything useful to add to what's already out there.

there was a book recently released that discusses his relationship with Mary Pinchot Meyer and possible LSD use that Pinchot Meyer might have convinced him (and other government officials) to take in order to control decisions on warfare (paraphrased, obviously).

I really love the cover of my copy of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. It helps that this is one of my favorite novels...here is what it looks like though I have the hardback version.
I also really like the new line of Agatha Christie novels. They're a bit spartan and have a really lovely texture, as well. Since I collect vintage Agathas, I also have been buying newer copies in order to re-read them. The vintage ones are really fragile and I don't want to damage them further.
Naa just make him buy $100 worth of KK book.
