by Autumn Bones

8,64€ + 10% CARD

 Haunting mysteries from America's Heartland Indiana rightly prides itself as a safe place to live. Nevertheless, the Hoosier State has experienced its share of unexplained deaths and unsolved disappearances. The state's oldest missing child case, the disappearance of four-year-old Richmond Byers from Seelyville in 1904, may never be solved. The 1998 attempted bombing of the Tippecanoe County Courthouse remains one of the only unsolved instances of domestic terrorism in the United States. The identities of Bedford's so-called Carnival Babies will likely forever be unknown. The 1929 murder of Elizabeth Miller may have been the result of the community's belief that she was a witch, but the true culprit has never been brought to light. Author of Unsolved Indiana Autumn Bones explores some of Indiana's least known unsolved mysteries.

~~3,17€~~ 2,54€ 20% OFF + 5% CARD

 Killers in Cold Blood looks inside the dark side of the criminal mind. Taking a glimpse at the men and women who commit heinous acts with a gruesome disregard for human life. They do not conform to what society considers to be 'normal' standards, seemingly to act purely for self-gratification in their own little world of perversion. These are the people who inspire horror movies - shocking the world by murdering for profit, due to rage or for the sheer thrill of it - and the majority of the time making their victims suffer for as long as possible. The difficulty in bringing these monsters to justice is proving whether they are fully aware of what they have done or suffering for some mental illness. Adolf Hitler, Charles Manson and Jeffrey Dahmer are fine examples of men who killed in cold blood, they knew exactly what they were doing, they knew right from wrong, and yet they still committed their crimes.
