About this listen
Innocent Blood is the true story of Charles Hatcher and his life of crime - a powerful and blood-chilling glimpse into the darkness between sanity and madness. It also chronicles a justice system gone wrong. Throughout his criminal career, Hatcher was able to fool dozens of psychiatrists, who repeatedly failed to identify him as a multiple murderer. Hatcher's astonishing skill was not just in his ability to murder and escape imprisonment. He became an expert at manipulating the criminal justice system; overall, he outwitted police, prosecutors, psychiatrists, and judges in 12 cities and eight states.
Terry Ganey first covered this story as a reporter for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Later, he spent four years researching the material for this book, interviewing over 75 people and reviewing thousands of documents, court transcripts, prison files, police reports, and mental health records.
What emerges is a fascinating and horrifying portrait of a mass murderer at large in America - a murderer who could have stalked his victims in any of our towns and cities, whether urban or rural, large or small.
Contains mature themes.

Interesting but the author has appalling attitudes towards child victims
I found the case itself very interesting, however it was at times very difficult to listen to author downplay the effects of sexual abuse on children. In particular I found the claim that most cases of child molestation are not violent and therefore do not have lasting effects on children and the idea that a man can be driven to molest his own child due to stress to be asinine. I was especially horrified as I expected this book to have been published much further in the past when perhaps the understanding of the effects of sexual abuse on children was not well understood. The fact that this revised edition was published in 2017 and makes no mention of the outdated and harmful attitudes of the author is disgusting. The victim blaming surrounding the wrongful imprisonment of a mentally disabled man was also a difficult listen.
