Serial Killers on the Interstate - Paperback

by Lori Carangelo (Author)

200 HIGHWAY KILLERS - by State, with over 200 Photos. This unique collection details Serial Killers who either picked up or disposed of their victims, some of whom were hitchhiking, along America's highways and truck stops. Included are their known victims' identities and the nicknames that media attached to their apparent "M.O." or victim type -- such as "The Bra Murderer, " "The Co-Ed Killer,"" "The Flat Tire Killer, " " "The Orange Socks Killer," "The Freeway Killer, " "The Trash Bag Killer, " etc. The FBI tells us that 6,000 people per year die at the hands of serial killers and that close to 300 Highway Serial Killers, specifically, are currently on the loose in the United States, prowling the nation -- especially those who are among the 3.5-million truckers on the road today. Long-haul truckers who pick up prey in one state often dump the body several states away. And they are in every state - California and Texas having the largest number of such serial killers. But even the smallest states thought to be the "safest" have their share of these predators. So if you're offered a ride by a smiling stranger, be afraid... Be very afraid, be very afraid. Includes Killers Index and General Index.
