I just finished "Evil Brothers, A True Crime Story" which was hard to
read. The story revolved around two brothers who killed 9 people and
was suspected in three other murders. All of this happened in Toledo,
Ohio over a two year period.

Here is a little more information about it:

Anyone ever read "The Man With the Candy", the story of Dean Corll? He
was a homosexual who picked up and murdered young men and boys in the
Houston area in the 70's. I can still hear on The CBS Evening News
when Corll was killed by one of his accomplices and they played the
kid calling his mom on the phone, saying, "Mama, I just killed
Dean..." I am not promoting the purchase of this book as you can
probably get it through the library, but do go here and scroll down
and read what others say after having read the book.

Another book that was horrific was Zebra, the story of a sect of black
Muslims that went around the San Fransico area for 179 days killing
white people at random. The killers wanted to assend to the rank of
Death Angel, which was based on a point system. Killing a man got a
certain number of points. A woman was harder and that resulted in more
points. Even more points for kids, but I do not believe any kids were
killed. An interesting read, but extermely frightening. A second book
on this subject was released a couple of years ago and is readily
available, especially on Ebay. I imagine it too is in the library.

Hi Otis,

I'm currently reading "In Broad Daylight" which is the story
of Ken McElroy and the town of Skidmore, Missouri. It's quite
fascinating as a true crime book.

Kind regards,
Nancy
