    Petie Miller vanishes without a trace two days before his wedding in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley in 1983. Some speculate it's a case of cold feet, but investigators suspect cold-blooded murder. The bride's stepfather, a violent career criminal named Charlie Almond, is the prime suspect. Circumstantial evidence suggests that Almond killed Miller and successfully disposed of the body. But with no witnesses, no forensic evidence, and no body, Almond is allowed to walk free. Meanwhile, Miller's father never stops seeking answers about what happened to his son. For three decades, he tirelessly pushes the investigation forward, imploring the authorities to keep his son's case file open. Finally, thirty-two years later in 2015, new witnesses emerge and Almond, now an octogenarian, is charged with first-degree murder. Chances of a guilty verdict seem slim, but special prosecutor Phil Figura, known in courtrooms as the "Dragonslayer," is determined to bring justice. Can Figura win a conviction in the oldest, coldest "no body" murder trial in United States history?Bestselling true crime author Ron Peterson, Jr. was provided exclusive access to the police case file to research this compelling story. He interviewed over fifty sources and worked closely with prosecutor Phil Figura and lead investigator Aaron LeVeck to chronicle the incredible true events in this book.

    All is fair in love and war. At least the Nazis thought so. They deployed sex like any other weapon in the service of the Third Reich. Al Camino examines many shocking cases, where brothels were hotbeds of bugging and blackmail, and pillow talk could topple nations. 
 
Cases include: 
- The bugging of Salon Kitty, a high-class brothel in Berlin which was taken over by the SS. 
- Nazi spy Lilly Stein, a 'good-looking nymphomaniac' who slept with US men in order to blackmail them. 
- Princess Stephanie Julianne von Hohenlohe, who used her intimate relationship with Lord Rothermere to get the British newspaper Daily Mail to support the Nazis in the 1930s 
 
Full of intrigue and surprise, Nazi Sex Spies presents a fascinating history of a little-known aspect of World War II.

Years earlier, at the age of 15, Kemper had murdered his paternal grandparents. Nicknamed the "Co-ed Killer," as most of his non-familial victims were female college students hitchhiking in the vicinity of Santa Cruz County, California, Kemper's murders often included necrophilia, decapitation, dismemberment and possibly cannibalism. Found sane and guilty at his trial in 1973, Kemper requested the death penalty for his crimes, however, capital punishment was suspended in California at the time, and he instead received eight concurrent life sentences. Since then, he has been incarcerated at California Medical Facility in Vacaville. The following recording is from a 1984 jailhouse tv interview.
