The Candy Cards
Summary
“How that man was able to go out to that storage shed, time after time, and bury one more dead boy is something I'll never understand. You get close to evil like that, no matter how long ago it was, and it never leaves you.” (Detective David Mullican, recollecting the Houston Mass Murders, April 2011) During the early 1970s, more than three dozen teenage boys went missing from the working-class neighborhood of Houston Heights, in the south of Texas. The parents of a number of these boys received strange postcards from their sons, telling them that they were fine and that they had found jobs somewhere else in the state, anywhere from Dallas to Austin. Then, in August 1973, the Houston Police Department made a shocking discovery; something that would later become known as the Houston Mass Murders. After further spine chilling investigations, the police found that prior to the murders, in the late 1960s, a young man by the name of Dean Corll had been handing out free candy to teenagers in Houston Heights. This man - who was vice-president of his mother’s candy company - was described by fellow residents as gentle, friendly and well-mannered. They couldn’t have been more wrong.... The Candy Cards is the shocking true story of Dean Corll, a.k.a. The Candy Man, one of the deadliest serial killers in American history. Robert Browns thrilling account of this chilling story will have listeners draw into to this story as much as any pause-resisting crime thriller.

The Picture Predator
Summary
Rodney Alcala was a man who hid his brutal secret behind a camera lens - a secret that terrorized many parts of America during the '60s and '70s. Stalking young women and girls, Alcala used his persuasive charm, striking good looks, and ability to convince his victims that his work as a photographer would launch their careers as models. Alcala also had an amazing ability to evade the law for many years. Despite his arrests and convictions, he still managed to carry out his sinister killing spree undetected and beyond suspicion - something that would lead him to confidently conducting more and more shocking crimes. Rodney Alcala would also find time during his murder spree to apply for and successfully compete in a television dating program which fed perfectly into his narcissistic personality and his sense of notoriety. Nobody truly knows the extent of his murderous and lustful campaign. There are many deaths that could still be attributed to Rodney Alcala that will possibly always remain unsolved. A riveting account that tries to lift the lid on what makes such evil exist and how he stalked and ultimately preyed upon his victims, The Picture Predator is a must for all true crime fans. This is his spine-chilling story. Caution: The material in this publication has a strong adult theme and is intended for an adult audience. Listener discretion is advised.

The Acid Alchemist: A True Story of Murder, Deceit, and Unspeakable Horror
Summary
In July, 1909, John George Haigh was born into a strict religious household. As a young child, his life was shaped by his parent’s extreme beliefs. Little did he know that the recurring nightmares of his early life would lead to one of the most horrific cases in British criminal history. Other than his obsession with cleanliness, John George Haigh was described by his acquaintances as someone who was as normal as any young man during the 1940s in England. In fact, most people said he was a true gentleman with exceptional manners and a profound love for classical music. However, in the back of John’s crisp mind was a much darker side; a craving for wealth combined with a lust for blood... After spending many years in prison for fraud and theft, John Haigh concluded that the only reason he always got caught was because people talked. "What if I can make them disappear," he thought one evening. "What if I can stop them from talking to the police?" Using his scientific knowledge (and a tiny bit of the legal system he had read about while in prison) he derived a new sinister plan to get rich. That was the disturbing turning point in his life. That was the point when "John, the Gentleman" became "John, the Serial Killer". This is the true story of the notorious Acid Bath Murderer, a cold-blooded murderer who imagined he was above the law. A man who believed he could literally get away with murder... Caution: The material in this publication has a strong adult theme and is intended for an adult audience. Listener discretion is advised.
