7 Killers... Menace
Serial Killers #3
Prostitutes. Parties. And… pigs?
Being a millionaire pig farmer isn’t all that common. Neither is being a psychopathic murderer. So combine the two, and what do you have? A story unlike any other, both in fright, disgust, and… craziness.
Robert Pickton is a name you probably haven’t heard, and you probably won’t hear again anytime soon. But there’s one thing for sure. Once you know his story, you never will forget it. Sometimes, real life can be much, much worse than fiction. This is one of those times.
What he did will disgust you. What he stood for will disturb you. And what he left behind… will frighten you.

5- Killers..Motive
Serial Killers #1
Ed Kemper was a giant and a genius. Carl Panzram was a visionary and a planner. They had nothing in common, except for their occupation: Serial killer.
Nobody ever sees it coming. We can only guess at the reasoning. Why would somebody kill, and kill again? What could they gain from the terrible acts?
When we don’t know why somebody kills, we don’t know who else could do it. And that makes all of us -any of us- a suspect. Or a victim.

4- Behind the Farm
In 1922, a small town in Germany was witness to a terrible crime scene. It was out of the blue, completely unexpected, for everybody but the family. There were signs, before, that something bad was going to happen. Signs that things were not right in the farmhouse.
It remains of the most complicated and complex murder cases in history. There’s been very few -if any- quite as chilling, quite as unnerving, quite as cold. And not just because of the dead bodies.
What happened in Germany isn’t about the murders. It’s about the months leading up to them. It’s about the complete loss of control. It’s about… a stalker.

Lizzie Borden took an axe And gave her mother forty whacks When she saw what she had done, She gave her father forty-one. Your typical rivertown. Your normal family. Not a normal daughter. All this and more, on Fear.
