About this ebook
An anthology of True Crime
A look back at some of the most depraved serial killers in history...The 1970s were a carefree time in the history of the United States. Even though the love and peace of the previous decade were over, people still hitchhiked and accepted rides from helpful strangers. But during the summer of 1979, two depraved criminals terrorized the Los Angeles area by targeting and kidnapping young teenage girls. Their victims were mostly regarded as runaways, so the authorities noticed their crimes months after they were committed. With the discovery of their fifth and final victim, Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris got the nickname The Toolbox Killers because they used common instruments found in any household in order to inflict horrific pain to the objects of their desire.
