  From the lowcountry through the midlands and into the upstate, criminal cases and mysterious murders cast a dark shadow on small-town South Carolina . . .  
   
   
   
  Ax assault, kidnapping, brutal murder: how could these things happen in a small town? Although regional crimes hardly ever make it to the national circuit, they will always remain with the families and communities of the victims and a part of the area's history. After working with the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division as special agent/forensic photographer for twenty-four years, Rita Shuler has a passion for remembering the victims. In Small-town Slayings, Shuler takes us back in time, showing differences and similarities of crime solving in the past and present and some surprising twists of court proceedings, verdicts and sentences. From an unsolved case that has haunted her for thirty years to a cold case that was solved after fifteen years by advanced DNA technology, Shuler blends her own memories with extensive research, resulting in a fast-paced, factual and fascinating look at crime in South Carolina.

  In the winter of 1984, Sharon Nicorvo was violently raped while delivering pizza to Fort Monmouth Army Base in New Jersey. At the same time, her seven-year-old son Jay was being subjected to repeated and secret sexual abuse by his babysitter. Best Copy Available delves into these devastating events and their long aftermath. Thirty years later, Nicorvo receives a photocopy of the criminal investigation report documenting that brutal night. This report offers a primer to better understand certain assumptions about class and race; sex and violence; crime and punishment; low and high culture; sanity, madness, and masculinity; and the facsimile nature of the truth.As various American men―some real, some imagined, all prone to violence―move in and then out of their hardscrabble lives, mother and son spend decades avoiding and ultimately confronting what happened to them in that formative year.Most ambitiously, Best Copy Available lends voice to an alternative version of American boyhood, manhood, and fatherhood. One where the sons of deadbeat dads can grow up to be stay-at-home dads, and where our boys and men may realize that the most courageous show of strength is not the determined use of force. It's knowing when and how to ask for help.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  n 2010, a shocking video stunned the digital world—an unknown individual brutally killing cats in an unimaginable manner. This wasn't just animal cruelty; it was the beginning of one of the most bizarre and disturbing criminal cases in modern history. 
  "Hunting the Cat Killer: The Strangest Case History Has Ever Known" unveils the extraordinary true story of Luka Magnotta, a narcissistic psychopath who manipulated the internet for fame and terror. When outraged viewers formed an unofficial investigation team on Facebook, they unknowingly entered a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with a killer who thrived on attention. 
  Author Walid Saleh meticulously reconstructs this digital-age thriller, following amateur sleuths Deanna Thompson and John Green as they analyzed video clues, tracked false identities, and uncovered a web of manufactured celebrity. From Toronto to London to Paris, the investigation reveals a disturbing portrait of modern evil—a man who created hundreds of fake profiles, fabricated his own fame, and used social media as both weapon and stage. 
  The case escalated terrifyingly when Luka's violence turned toward humans, culminating in the brutal murder of Jun Lin and an international manhunt that exposed the dark intersection of narcissism, digital manipulation, and serial killer psychology. Drawing inspiration from films like "Basic Instinct" and "American Psycho," Luka orchestrated his crimes as performances, leaving investigators to decipher reality from his carefully constructed fiction.

  Psychopaths - Unraveling the...

  Psychopathy is a personality disorder characterized by a lack of empathy, manipulative behavior, and a disregard for social norms. While often associated with violent criminals, not all psychopaths engage in illegal activities. Many live among us, blending into society while exhibiting traits that set them apart. Understanding psychopathy requires examining its defining characteristics, how it differs from other disorders, and how it has been studied over time. 
  At the core of psychopathy is a profound emotional deficit. Psychopaths struggle to feel deep emotions such as guilt, remorse, or love. While they can mimic emotions to manipulate others, their reactions are often shallow and insincere. This emotional disconnect allows them to deceive, exploit, and harm others without experiencing the moral conflicts that most people do. Their ability to charm and manipulate makes them particularly dangerous, as they can easily gain trust and control over those around them. 
  A common misconception is that psychopathy and sociopathy are the same. While they share some similarities, they are distinct disorders. Psychopaths are typically more calculated, controlled, and charismatic. They can function in society, often excelling in careers that require persuasion and risk-taking. Sociopaths, on the other hand, are more impulsive and prone to emotional outbursts, making it harder for them to maintain stable relationships or careers. These differences highlight why some psychopaths remain undetected, while sociopaths are more likely to be caught for reckless behavior.
