The Cases That Haunt Us

From Jack the Ripper to JonBenet Ramsey, the FBI's Legendary Mindhunter Sheds Light on the Mysteries That Won't Go Away

De: John Douglas, Mark Olshaker

Narrado por: Malcolm Hillgartner

Violent, provocative, shocking. Call them what you will, but don't call them open and shut.

Did Lizzie Borden murder her own father and stepmother? Was Jack the Ripper actually the Duke of Clarence? Who killed JonBenet Ramsey? America's foremost expert on criminal profiling and 25-year FBI veteran John Douglas, along with author and filmmaker Mark Olshaker, explores those tantalizing questions and more in this mesmerizing work of detection. With uniquely gripping analysis, the authors reexamine and reinterpret the accepted facts, evidence, and victimology of the most notorious murder cases in the history of crime, including the Lindbergh baby kidnapping, the Zodiac Killer, and the Whitechapel murders. Utilizing techniques developed by Douglas himself, they give detailed profiles and reveal chief suspects in pursuit of what really happened in each case. The Cases That Haunt Us not only offers convincing and controversial conclusions, it deconstructs the evidence and widely held beliefs surrounding each case and rebuilds them - with fascinating, surprising, and haunting results.

Outstanding

Incitefull look at some fascinating cases.The first thing I've read on Jack The Ripper, in years that hasn't bored me. I have to disagree on the Lindbergh findings. Bruno may not have worked alone but was the main culprit. One doesn't have to be educated to be intelligent. Never believed Patsy wrote that note and this latest stuff about Berkeley is ridiculous. If he had killed his sister there is no way the Ramseys would let the police interview him. As you can see I get really into these cases. If you do too, this is a great book with great narration.

It was very riveting

The book proved for me , a new look at a lot of old cases and one I have never heard of. I know a lot of people said they enjoyed the book till they got to the part about the JonBenet Ramsey case. I have to say it made me see that case in a new light. Those strangely enough I too had the same theory as the author.

Great Facts

This book just looks at the facts and calls them as they are. I have at least 15 words!

Thank you for this book

I really appreciate the authors of this book and the unsung hero in a great reader.
I wish all law enforcement was like this and I like to think 99% of them are. Thank you for shedding light on these cases where I knew only the tabloid versions before. I think these historical cases are important to keep in mind without forgetting there are many other unsolved cases.
The book is very well written and I found I wanted to here more and more cases analyzed just this way.

Fascinating Read

This is an excellent book. I burned through it very quickly. Mr. Douglas' descriptions of the crime, scene, and his method of investigation absolutely fascinating. He discusses the cases of Jack the Ripper, Lizzie Borden, the Zodiac, Boston Strangler, and Jon Benet Ramsey (I feel like I'm forgetting one?). Reader was excellent as well. Great stuff!

I like his books very much. Can't wait for his next book to come out
