The secret serial killer : the true story of Kieran Kelly / by Mulhern, Robert,author.;
On the evening of August 21,1983, Metropolitan Police detectives raced to the cells of London's Clapham Police Station to find a prisoner dead and his cellmate sat cross-legged and quiet in the corner. Kieran Kelly, a laborer from Ireland, quickly confessed to strangling the prisoner - and then stunned officers by confessing to dozens of unreported and unsolved murders over the previous 30 years. Detectives believed they were in the presence of Britain's most prolific serial killer yet Kelly was convicted on just two of his admissions and his story went unnoticed until 2015, when a former police officer who worked on the case claimed the killer's crimes were covered up by the British Government. Strangulations, murders on the London Underground, an internal Metropolitan Police review - as the story's elements whipped the international news media into a frenzy, journalist Robert Mulhern set off on a methodical search for the truth against the backdrop of an ever-increasing body count. Could Kieran Kelly really have murdered 31 times?

Love letters to a serial killer / by Coryell, Tasha,author.(CARDINAL)900287;
"Recently ghosted and sick of watching her friends fade into the suburbs with their husbands and children, thirty-something Hannah finds new community in an internet true crime forum that's on a mission to solve the murders of four women who were dumped in a ravine outside Atlanta. When a handsome lawyer named William is arrested for the killings, with evidence of his guilt piling up as quickly as the bodies, Hannah begins writing him letters as another outlet for both her frustration at her failure to launch and her feminist rage. The exercise empowers her, and even feels healthy at first - until William writes back. Their correspondence tips Hannah's interest in the case from curiosity to obsession, leaving space for nothing else as her life implodes around her. When she loses her job, she heads to Georgia to attend the trial, finding herself quickly embedded in a colorful group of fellow true crime junkies and trial chasers. But, a fifth woman is soon found in the same ravine while William is on trial, and the jury has no choice but to find him 'not guilty.' Hannah is the first person he calls upon his release, and they quickly fall into a routine of domestic bliss. Well, as blissful as one can feel while secretly investigating their partner for serial murder..."--

Raised by a serial killer [sound recording] : discovering the truth about my father / by Balascio, April,author,narrator.;
Read by the author."As a child, April Balascio moved nearly every year with her family, crisscrossing the country from one campground or ramshackle rented house to the next. They were seemingly always on the run--but from what, she never understood. Her father, whom she both loved and feared, always had an excuse, and whatever chased them from their latest home became buried in her memories...along with many other disturbing secrets. Decades later, at the age of forty, April began obsessively searching online for cold cases in the towns she'd lived in as a child. One night, a story popped up that gave her an eerie sense of déjà vu. Two young people who disappeared in the summer of 1980 near Watertown, Wisconsin, had become a famous unsolved double murder called "The Sweetheart Murders." As memories of Watertown began to resurface and terrifying possibilities dawned on her, April faced a grave choice: betray the person who had raised her, or let the dark truth go undiscovered. She picked up the phone to call the police hotline, changing her family's life forever."--Title from container.
