Beschreibung

The definitive study of John Wayne Gacy—from his abusive childhood to the murders of thirty-three boys—based on four years of investigative reporting.   John Wayne Gacy, the “Killer Clown,” was a suburban Chicago businessman sentenced to death in 1980 for a string of horrific murders after the bodies of his victims were found hidden in a crawl space beneath his Des Plaines, Illinois, home. The serial killer had preyed on teenagers and young men—at the same time entertaining at children’s parties and charitable events dressed as “Pogo the Clown.”   Drawing on exclusive interviews and previously unreported material, journalist Tim Cahill “offers the stuff of wrenching nightmares” (The Wall Street Journal): a harrowing journey inside the mind of a serial killer. Meticulously researched and graphically recounted, Buried Dreams brings to vivid life the real John Wayne Gacy—his complex personality, compulsions, inadequacies, and torments—often in the murderer’s own words.   Called “an absorbing and disturbing story” by Publishers Weekly and “surprisingly graceful” by the New York Times, this is a journey to the heart of human evil that you will never forget.

    A story made all the more shocking because it’s true.
    		 
    In 1880, an organized mob of the Donnellys’ enemies murder four family members and burn their house to the ground. Another sibling is shot to death in a house a short distance away. William Donnelly and a teenage boy are the only witnesses to the murders.
    		 
    The surviving family members seek justice through the local courts but quickly learn that their enemies control the jury and the press. Two sensational trials follow that make national and international headlines as the Donnellys continue to pursue justice for their murdered parents, siblings and cousin.
    		 
    Behind the scenes, political factors are at play, as Oliver Mowat, the Premier/Attorney General of the province of Ontario, fearing the backlash a conviction would render, gradually withdraws support from the prosecution of the killers. After the trials, the Donnelly’s enemies continue their crusade against the family, paying off potential witnesses to the murders and fabricating one last set of charges that they hope will put the remaining Donnellys away forever.

Her (real) parents had faked her mother's death tby drowning o benefit from a massive life insurance payout - a manhunt ensued....This vivid memoir about motherhood and identity, explores the essence of what it is to be a mother and the fundamental truth of nature vs nurture.

    Two brothers turn from Jehovah’s Witnesses in Allentown, PA, to neo-Nazi murderers in this true crime investigation from the author of Lobster Boy. Raised as Jehovah’s Witnesses and frustrated with their parents’ repressive rules, Bryan and David Freeman rebelled as teenagers. Encouraged by an acquaintance he met while institutionalized at a reform school, Bryan became a neo-Nazi. Bryan then indoctrinated David, and their flare for defiance took a dark turn. After callously murdering their father, mother, and younger brother, the skinhead brothers took flight across America, with police from three states in hot pursuit. They were eventually captured in Michigan and returned to Pennsylvania for trial.   During the trial, author Fred Rosen uncovered evidence that one of the brothers might not have been as culpable as authorities claimed, and divulged the history of a family torn apart by stringent religious beliefs.

    SPEAKING OUT! - My life under...

    Chantal Frei (pseudonym) who grew up in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, was only six years old when Satanists decided to make her into a Mother of Darkness. At that time, she had already survived massive torture – which was the reason why the cult considered her to be strong, smart, and intelligent enough to be trained by the Illuminati.
    Today, Chantal Frei is able to speak out about her experiences as a survivor of satanic ritual abuse, spiritual abuse, and mind control in order to help others by providing insight and knowledge. The information provided in this book is by far not complete as the author can only share what she herself has experienced and understood. She states: "More and more I realize, that with my book, I can only scratch the surface of this topic." Nonetheless, her personal account is unique and important. Chantal Frei is the first survivor with a German-speaking background who has been this deep in the inner circle of the Illuminati and has mustered enough courage to speak out about it. During cruel rituals, she met with heads of state, nobles, and celebrities. Therefore, she was taken to well-known places – such as the White House and a famous Spanish basilica – but also got into secret military facilities and a remote castle in Belgium. These places and people, some of which are also mentioned by other survivors, illustrate the terrifying extent of an abysmally dark phenomenon known as ritual abuse.
    Chantal Frei wants to help bring light into this darkness.
