The horrific crimes had authorities and local Monroe City, Indiana, residents alike dumbfounded, as well as terrified for years, due to the brutal and vicious nature of the crimes. Sherry Gibson had been beaten and stabbed dozens of times and raped - the crime so brutal it made some of the Charles Manson murders of 1969 look almost tame in comparison. To add insult to injury, the barn was then set ablaze by Gibson's assailants, in hopes she'd burn up, therefore, leaving no trace of evidence for police. 

In the last 30-plus years, gay men and women in Indiana have been raped, beaten, and murdered. Last year in Indiana, a Catholic Priest was attacked and beaten while praying in a church. A Jewish synagogue was vandalized with anti-Semitic graffiti, and another church was plastered with racist and homophobic banners. Murder suspect Steven Leyendecker was the poster boy for a good profile makeup.

Carl Eugene Watts was an American serial killer who was also dubbed the “Sunday morning slasher". He was suspected of killing at least 100 people between 1969 and 1982. Even as a child, Watts had been described as being “very strange” by his neighbors - and even family members. At the tender age of 12, Watts, to the horror of his family and others who knew him, admitted he had been having “fantasies” about stalking, kidnapping, and murdering young girls.

In this book, you will come face to face with some of the most vicious, depraved, remorseless serial killers in history - but, I'm quite sure you will want to keep listening until the very bloody, bitter end. I know...you just can't help yourself. And neither can I.

Samuel Little, the son of a local prostitute, had already begun his career as a criminal - and murderer - by the time he was a teenager. By 1975, Little had been arrested 26 times, in 11 different states, for the crimes of theft, assault, rape, attempted rape, and even physical battery on government officials. Believe it or not, he was just getting started. 

The smell of blood - death - was almost overwhelming to his senses. Not that he wasn't used to it; he was almost the personification of decomposition, of death incarnate. He was pain and misery. This was his special gift in life. He killed without remorse or regret.

He loved the dead. His favorite song was “I Love the Dead” by rock singer Alice Cooper, and he listened to it every time he got a chance. The strange thing about his mother was, he still loved her - in his own special way. He hated her and loved her and loathed her and then missed her. Fantasized about her. Yes...he loved the dead. 

He raised his head to look her right in the eyes. What she saw behind those eyes wasn't Lee anymore; it was now a dark, evil, inhuman monster lurking deep in his soul. Lee wasn't there anymore. The real Lee was there now. He said, You stupid little whore. You're just like my mama and all the other whores. You don't appreciate nothin'.

Another terrifying aspect about the men profiled in this book is the fact that they weren't satisfied with killing a few victims and then moving on with their lives, while keeping their terrible secret in tow. They had to continue killing innocent victims - with no desire to stop anytime soon - having acquired a general “taste” for the act of taking innocent lives. They became almost, well, greedy. Of course, in the end, it was their uncontrollable blood lust and greed that was their own undoing.

In Body Count: Part 2, you will come face-to-face with some of the most vicious, depraved, and remorseless serial killers in history. But, I'm quite sure you will want to keep listening up until the very bloody, bitter end. 

In Homemade Horrors, Volume 2: Keeping It in The Family, Brian Lee Tucker takes us on another short and sweet and ultra violent journey into the lives of some of the Mafia's most ruthless and feared mob assassins - some of whom were also born into the family business. Among the infamous hitmen profiled are “The Iceman” Richard Kuklinski, who boasted of killing over 100 men; Salvatore Testa, a hitman who thought nothing of murdering a whole houseful of people - including women and children; and many more!

Are serial killers born or raised? The argument of “nature vs nurture” always has been and is still being researched to this day. The idea is simple enough: if you have had a happy childhood - but killer genes - you may go on to live a normal, happy life. If you have the wrong genetics and a bad childhood, you are a ticking time bomb just waiting to go off at any time.

In shows like Criminal Minds and in the portrayal of the fictitious character Hannibal Lecter, we are confronted with the idea of the genius serial killer. He makes the perfect villain for our heroes to battle against in a plot that rises, falls, and then reaches a maddening peak. Does the genius serial killer really exist? Yes. Out of thousands of serial killers, people who have committed three or more murders, there are the only a small handful of actual killer geniuses - and even those individuals aren't genius enough to elude capture indefinitely.  

Hollywood has romanticized genius serial killers for a long time now, whether it be a suave, charming killer or a sly and informed yet absolutely evil murderer who knows how to fool police. There have been documentaries focusing solely on the most intelligent serial killers. But in real life, most serial killers are far from genius. An awful lot of them are just plain dumb.

Hollywood has romanticized genius serial killers for a long time now, whether it be a suave, charming killer, or Antonio Saboto, Jr. There have been documentaries focusing solely on the most intelligent serial killers.

An unflinching look into the mind of one of the most vicious serial killers in American history, The Serial Killer Chronicles chronicles the murderous exploits as Romeo, tiring of his boring and normal life as a respected member of the community, goes on a killing rampage and allows the listener to accompany him on his quest to kill as many women as possible.

The Serial Killer Chronicles is a drop dead frontal assault that provokes, rather than patronizes its reader, and is truly the most dangerous kind of true crime genre book in existence, pulling no punches and telling no lies – and narrated by one of the most dangerous men in existence; Romeo could be your next door neighbor, the guy that could be your best friend, but who secretly slaughters women with about as much remorse as Jack the Ripper, robbing, raping, burning and killing, attacking America more like an epidemic plague than a human being.
