Killers Among Us Volume 1

Twelve True Crime Murder Investigations

Murder stories are easy to tell.
Careful investigations are not.

Killers Among Us is a collection of twelve true crime investigations focused on real murders that were poorly covered, quickly forgotten, or never fully examined in the first place. Each case is approached as an inquiry, not a spectacle, with attention paid to what is known, what was missed, and what questions still remain.

Rather than summarizing crimes for shock value, the book examines how these cases unfolded, how victims were last seen, how investigations moved forward or stalled, and how decisions made by police, communities, or institutions shaped the outcome. The focus is on process, accountability, and human consequence.

The structure is deliberate and consistent across all investigations. Each chapter stands on its own while contributing to a broader picture of how violent crime is investigated, recorded, and sometimes misunderstood. This makes the book suitable for careful readers who want substance, not exaggeration, and clarity instead of noise.

Written to meet the expectations of serious true crime readers, Killers Among Us avoids speculation, dramatization, and unnecessary detail. It is designed to hold up over time, regardless of when or how the cases themselves are finalized.

The author, Robert A. Waters, has spent years researching and documenting real criminal cases with a focus on accuracy, sourcing, and restraint. His work prioritizes documented facts, contemporaneous reporting, and a clear separation between evidence and assumption.

Readers can expect a measured, investigative reading experience—one that respects victims, values accuracy, and leaves room for thoughtful reflection rather than easy conclusions.
