On February 29, 2000, John Price took out a restraining order against his girlfriend, Katherine Knight. Later that day, he told his coworkers she had stabbed him and that if he were ever to go missing, it was because Knight had killed him. The next day, Price didn’t show up for work. A coworker was sent to check on him. They found a bloody handprint by the front door, and they immediately contacted the police. The local police force was not prepared for the chilling scene they were about to encounter.

His first victims were the daughter of the LAPD lawyer who represented him and her fiancé.

Story3.5 out of 5 stars 38
Filicide is the intended act of parents killing their children. The act is also regarded as an offense since it amounts to murder. It appears to very unnatural for a parent to end the life of his child. As much as this appears to be inhumane and unimaginable, there are some parents who kill their offspring. We consider mothers to hold the highest status in our lives. For a son, there is no greater being on this planet than his mother. She gives birth to the child, cares for him when he is at his most vulnerable stage, unable to eat or drink, and she feeds him her own milk.

There is little more terrifying than those who hunt, stalk, and snatch their prey under the cloak of darkness. These hunters search not for animals, but for the touch, taste, and empowerment of human flesh. They are cannibals, vampires, and monsters, and they walk among us. These serial killers are not mythical beasts with horns and shaggy hair. They are people living among society, going about their day-to-day activities until nightfall. They are the Dennis Rader's, the fathers, husbands, church-going members of the community.

When male serial killers are on the loose, they tend to make headlines - for example, Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer. Men like these are infamous for the terror that they inflicted on the general population. Many of these men are diagnosed as psychopaths. A general perception was quite common, that there is no such thing as female serial killers and psychopaths. In fact, female killers can sometimes be more lethal, and the murders that they commit can be just as cold and calculated.

Publisher's Summary
When we hear about a serial killer, we never consider the sex; we would immediately assume a man...right? But that's not always the case! Females are for the most part, the loving and caring protectors of our species and the ones that are more susceptible to danger. However, they are in fact the most dangerous because they are the least suspected of the serial killers. Like their male counterparts, they show no remorse and have no mercy for their victims. Should we still call them the weaker sex?
Women Who Kill explains and defines the various types of female serial iillers and contains over 20 criminal dossiers, including:
- Gertrude Baniszewski
- Margie Barfield
- Martha Beck
- Lizzie Borden
- Judias Buenoano
- Christine Falling
- Caril Ann Fugate and Charles Starkweather (Couple)
- Delfina and Maria de Jesus Gonzalez (Sisters)
- Karla Homolka and Paul Bernardo (Wife and Husband)
- Dorothea Puente
- Marybeth Tinning
- Rosemary and Fred West (Wife and Husband)
RJ Parker is the author of six serial killer books as well as Top Cases of The FBI. His Serial Killer Files Series includes:
- Unsolved Serial Killings

- The Serial Killer Compendium
- Doctors Who Killed
- No Killing in The Hallways (Shoot Shootings)

EXCELLENT BOOK FOR A TRUE GRUE COLLECTOR
What did you love best about Women Who Kill (Serial Killers)?
Usually when we think of Serial Killers we think of men, not the case in this book
What about David Gilmore’s performance did you like?
Very well spoken
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Absolutely
Any additional comments?
Oh how we cherish our mothers and respect their kindness! Well, here is a different story told in "Women Who Kill"! This book made me cringe at the thought that there is a different breed of mothers/women out there who have a disgusting way of life. Not only to their loving children and spouces whom they decieve but to the community as well! Heart breaking stories some had to face in the hands of these monsters! Great book and very interesting knowledge! Its not only men we have to fear but the kind women with the wicked intent next door!

Great
If you could sum up Women Who Kill (Serial Killers) in three words, what would they be?
Crazy, informative, short
What did you like best about this story?
I liked the stories about each woman. I've heard some of these stories from tv shows but I thought the book was too short. I loved hearing about the women serial killers.
Have you listened to any of David Gilmore’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No
What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?
I love serial killer stories

A Glimpse Into the Psychotic Mind
If you could sum up Women Who Kill (Serial Killers) in three words, what would they be?
Evil, Scary, Sadistic ... Women Who Kill is a journey into the minds of female serial killers--their motives, their acts, their thought process. Parker gives an overview and then delves into various stories about individual killers. I found myself horrified but also completely captivated
Have you listened to any of David Gilmore’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is the first one and the Narrator was great
