This book is the same format as the other bizarre crimes book I read but not many of the crimes, murders mentioned were actually “bizarre” in nature/theme etc..
I am surprised that particular !urderers were not mentioned such as: Amelia Dyer (she susposely looked after children/babies but killed them instead to gain money from the children's parents)
The casanova killer (an American serial killer) Belle Gunness, the monster of Florence, the beasts of satan (Satanists in a metal band, from Italy)
I like reading about historical crime, modern crimes that are either solved, a miscarriage of justice with a wrongful conviction bevause a confessioj was obtained while the person was pressured/manipulated to confessed to something they didn't do.
I'm angered, frustrated by the fact that trained professionals, still don't properly seal off a crime scene where a murder(s) have occurred, so then the crime svene is contaminated, and any useable forensic evidence is rendered useless, due to multiple people touching it, or walking all over the crime scene. It also really pisses me off when the police don't take a woman/man seriously when they have a abusive relationship with their boyfriend/girlfriend and tje person is stalking them, threatening to harm them or themselves to be emotionally manipulative.
The same indifference & “victim shaming” can apply to the police when a woman has been molested, raped, beaten up and the police don't believe the victim, they shame the victim for their behaviour and try to find a reason to say thos is what caused it to happen. Why is necessary for the police to look at the phone of a rape victim, other than to “victim shame “ them.
It's disgusting that any police officer would ever have the audacity to feel like they are justified in “victim shaming” any man or woman ever, especially when they didn't care enough about the victim of any type of crime to at least treat them with respect. They act indifferent, and with supperiority like they have a point to proof, but the way they investigated the crime(s) is lazy, incompetent, especially when fake evidence is planted at a crime scene to frame someone for a crime they didn't commit. So people have “confirmation bias” so the most logical person that could of committed a crime, did commit a crime without fotensic evidence to back up their reason for arresting the person responsible for the crime. I don't particularly trust the police, due to them being corrupt, a rapist, or more recently a British police officer murdered a woman in England that is the same age as myself, it's disturbing & disgusting.
It is frustrating that even when there is forensic evidence, it still isn't enough evidence to prove the right person was at the scene of a crime/or to prove in court that they are the correct person that committed a crime and would be convicted, and sentenced to time in prison.
I enjoyed reading this book, but I wish it included more crimes that are actually “bizarre” otherwise the book title is misleading.
Information about the Zodiac serial killer is inaccurate, he never made a phone call and said about having headaches, it was a hoax and had nothing to do withe real Zodisc serial killer that was never caught or identified.
