It was September 14th 2015 when Jack Taylor, a 25 year old gay man was found dead in St Margaret's church in East London. 'If that's where Jack's been found, someone's put him there,' said Jack's sister, Jen. 'The Police could have put a stop to it, and Jack would still have been here.'
Three previous murders had been committed in 2014. In each case, a body was found within a short distance of the others—sometimes in the exact same spot. Yet police...

Imagine the most boring of jobs. It is hard to come up with one more mundane than working as a Government stock clerk. It seems almost a cliché that a killer who haunts the darkest nightmares should work in such a position. But, William Lester Suff did.
Let's take that cliché a step further and imbue the murderer of prostitutes with another trait. An unusual hobby. Suff was fascinated by cookery, which is probably not such a strange past time in...

A collection of True Crime stories on the most unlikely of serial killers... even police officers are included here with the likes of Antoinette Frank... Who do you trust? A doctor. A teacher. A police officer? There is something bizarrely discomforting about crime committed by those in authority. It should not really be so surprising, though, that even those in positions of power still err; after all, behind the suit, or the white coat or the badge...

Will mankind ever understand its own mind? Only if it one day learns to do so will the crimes of Edmund Emil Kemper III begin to make any sort of sense. Perhaps the splendour of his name gives a clue to the ambitions his mother had for the new born baby, who emerged into the world just a week before Christmas in 1948. Perhaps the hint in that name of a sort of Hollywood-esque cum Hammer House of Horror quality, just the wrong side of the furthest...

She had a twelve hour shift ahead, so her daughter Hailey would be alone for most of the day. However, with father Clint living just opposite and slightly down the road, Billie was confident that Hailey would be fine, and would probably visit her father for some...

Some problems become more troublesome the longer they are left. The aching molar which remains untended; the lawn which is left uncut. The same might be said of the case of Ray Gricar. Although, of course, the disappearance and possible death of a man, one with a high local profile, is much more serious than sore teeth or an unkempt yard.
Gricar was last seen on Friday April 15th 2005. It was a glorious day—one of the first of the year in which...

If ever a case illustrates the problems facing a parole board, then it must be the one of William Pierce. On the one hand, the opportunity for rehabilitation is a given in any civilized society. On the other, people are in prison for a reason. Most are dangerous, some extremely so.
William Pierce-he liked the sobriquet Junior, although there was nothing innocent about him-was released on parole from the Reidsville state prison in Georgia in May 1970....
