50 American Serial Killers
In any field of human endeavor there is a hierarchy, an unspoken ranking system where some individuals achieve greater renown than others. The field of serial murder is no different. Just about everyone has heard of the likes of Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy and Jeffrey Dahmer. Their horrific crimes have bestowed upon them near legendary status. They are the vampires and werewolves of the age, flesh-and-blood monsters, all-American bogeymen.
Most serial killers, however, never achieve such lasting infamy. How many people, for example, have heard of Chester Turner, slayer and mutilator of at least 11 prostitutes and one of L.A.'s most prolific killers? How many have heard of Dana Sue Gray, a unique female serial killer who battered, stabbed and choked her elderly victims to death? Or Harry Powers, a depraved psychopath who got his jollies torturing lovelorn spinsters?
I would wager, not many.
And yet, the likes of Turner, Gray and Powers are just as evil, their crimes every bit as depraved, vicious and repellant as those of their more celebrated brethren. And there are many more like them.
In this volume, we explore the lives and horrendous deeds of 50 such American monsters, including:

Serial killers, by their nature, prey on the weak and defenseless. Women and children are commonly targeted, but among the most heartless of killers are those who attack the frail and elderly. Howard Arthur Allen was one such creature, a heinous thug who savagely beat, stabbed and strangled at least three elderly victims to death.
Allens first known murder was committed in August 1974, when he was 24 years old. On that occasion, he broke into the home of 85-year-old Opal Cooper, beating her to death in the course of a petty robbery. He was soon arrested for that murder, but the charge was reduced to manslaughter, and the sentence was a mere two to twenty-one years.
Allen would serve roughly half the maximum sentence before being paroled in January 1985. He returned to Indianapolis, where he found work at a car wash. For a while, he seemed to stay out of trouble. But the rage inside Howard Arthur Allen had not been extinguished. Before long, it flared up and he was hunting again.
On May 18, 1987, a 73-year-old Indianapolis woman narrowly escaped death after being choked and beaten by a prowler who broke into her home. Two days later another senior, 87-year-old Laverne Hale, was attacked, dying from her injuries on May 29.
On June 2, a burglar ransacked the home of an elderly man, just five blocks from the scene of the Hale murder. Fortunately for the tenant, he was not home. The killer vented his rage instead on the residence, setting it on fire.
Less than two weeks later, on July 14, 73-year-old Ernestine Griffin was murdered in her home near 57 th and Keystone in Indianapolis. In the most brutal attack yet, the killer repeatedly plunged a ten-inch butcher knife into the frail woman, then caved in her skull with a toaster. His take from this carnage was a paltry fifteen dollars and a cheap camera belonging to the victim.
But Allen had made a crucial mistake. Days before the attack, he had called on Mrs. Griffin to enquire about a car her neighbor had for sale. Griffin had asked him to leave a number for her to pass on to the neighbor and Allen had done so. Now, as police processed the crime scene, they found that note, sitting on a kitchen counter.
Pulled in for questioning, Allen initially denied writing the note (a handwriting expert would later verify the handwriting as his) but after several hours of questioning, he finally admitted that he had been to Griffins home. He even admitted punching her after (he said) she cussed him.
