Reprinted Edition
Page-turning excitement...riveting, fast-paced true crime. --M. William Phelps
On a chilly November afternoon in 1998, a tearful 36-year-old man walked into the Humboldt County Sheriffs Department in Eureka, CA, and confessed to something horrible. I hurt some people, he said. Inside his pocket was the ghastly proof of his statement. But there was more to Wayne Adam Ford than the trail of mangled victims he left behind. More, even, than the twisted predator inside, which drove him to increasingly perverse sexual appetites. Pulitzer-nominated author Caitlin Rother draws on previously sealed testimony, interviews with the key players in the case, and the killers shocking confession to explore the demons that drove a damaged man to his unspeakable crimes. Her book is a haunting, unforgettable true-life thriller.
Includes dramatic photos

E PILOGUE
In October 2007, years after Gene and his second wife had adopted a dozen disabled children, he and Rodney agreed to meet for an interview for this book in Sacramento. This was the first time since Wayne had turned himself in that Gene or Rodney had agreed to talk to someone other than the family and defense team about the case (outside of court, that is).
In light of Victorias documentary and conflicting statements by Waynes mother and other people, Gene said he felt it was important to state his version of events.
Im really proud of Rodney. Im not so proud of Wayne anymore, but at one time, I was very proud of him, Gene said.
When he first heard what Wayne had done, Gene said, I felt betrayed, felt he betrayed the family, got the family involved in his sordid lifestyle. It really bothered me. I tried to clean up the mess, he said, explaining that he retrieved the familys vehicles, including the trailer, to make sure no one could buy them to make money off Waynes notoriety.
So far, neither Gene nor Rodney had gone to visit Wayne at San Quentin, saying they were angry he was trying to manipulate them from behind bars through letters and phone calls, asking them for money, and urging them to talk to Victoria for her documentary.
I said I want nothing to do with her, Gene said, adding that hed told Wayne that twice, before and after hed been transferred to San Quentin.
I love him, but I dont like what hes done, Gene said. Im disappointed in him, but hes still my son.
Gene said he thought Wayne was in the best place he could be, where he couldnt escape. I dont want him on the street again.... Hes made his bed, hell sleep in it, and Ill start visiting him when Im in the right frame of mind.
Looking back, Gene said he didnt think he could have done anything different in raising his boys. You raise them the best you can, with the experience you have. When you have children, they dont come with a manual.
Rodney said he didnt have a clue why Wayne committed these crimes, but he speculated that he dislikes women so much that something inside of him snapped. He has a very low approval of women that, I think, are prostitutes, wanton women, who are sluts or whatever.
Rodney and Gene said they believe Wayne may have killed the first victim accidentally and didnt know what to do with her body, so he cut her up because he was scared and wanted to get rid of the evidence.
After that, if he was displeased, you cant burn twice for murder, so it didnt make it probably such an obstacle to kill one, two, or three, Gene said.
Gene and Rodney shared the belief that Wayne turned himself in because he couldnt live with the guilt or the pain of what hed done.
As a human being, he was done. Thats why he called me, Rodney said. All our lives, I always helped him. We used to fight like cats and dogs, but we still loved each other, and when the chips were down, we were there for each other.
Rodney acknowledged that Wayne no longer believes he murdered those women.
Asked why Wayne might feel that way, Rodney said, I dont know. Hes demented.... He still thinks hes going to get out. Hes going to win some of these appeals and hes going to get the death penalty off the table. Hes got something up his sleeve.... I think its a pipe dream, but in this day and age with the kind of attorneys you have out there, it might not be.
But even if that happened, Rodney said, he would never trust Wayne with anybody but him. I would not trust my brother to be alone with my children or my wife.
Rodney said hes had death threats because of this case. Some of his companys clients have requested that he not participate in certain jobs. And he is still scared that someone who is angry at Wayne will try to hurt Rodneys family.
Several years before the trial, Rodney and Gene each talked to Wayne about giving up his parental rights to Max, so that the boy could have a normal life.
If you love your son, you need to give up your parental rights, Rodney told him. The best thing for your son is to let him go. You need to let your son disappear.... You need to do the right thing.
Hes my son. Why should I give up my rights? Wayne asked, saying he wanted Max to have his tools and be aware that Wayne was his father.
But eventually, Wayne relented and signed the papers so that Elizabeths new husband, whom she married in April 1999, could adopt the boy, then three and a half years old.
Rodney said he hoped Wayne would never get out of prison; hed already come to terms with the fact that Wayne was going to be executed. He just didnt know whether he would be able to watch, even if Wayne asked him to be there.
Hes going on a journey, Rodney said. We all have to answer to a higher power at the end of our world.
AUTHORS NOTE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Much of the information in this book came out of materials I was allowed to review after the trial, including court exhibits and documents that were submitted during discovery but never made their way into the jurys hands. As such, I was able to read every word from the taped interviews Wayne gave to authorities in the days after he turned himself in. The materials also included a sizeable excerpt of the eight-hour interview with Waynes mother that Ron Forbush conducted in India, his interviews with other Ford family members, and Waynes military medical files.
Detectives Juan Freeman, Frank Gonzales, Mike Jones, Joe Herrera, and Gary Rhoades graciously supplied me with information and let me question them repeatedly about their investigations and interviews.
I interviewed Waynes father, Gene, and his brother, Rodney, for an entire day in a hotel room in Sacramento, most of which was focused on Gene. The next day, I talked with Rodney alone. Although Gene was reticent to speak with me at first, he and Rodney proved to be extremely cooperative. Gene told me that hed even turned down an interview with the producer for Dan Rather, among many others, when the story first broke.
Ron Forbush was also reticent at first, but he later proved to be tremendously helpful. Joe Canty, who had been his best friend for decades, had initially agreed to be interviewed for this book, but, unfortunately, he died of a heart attack in June 2007 before I was able to speak with him. A month earlier, hed been recognized by the county Board of Supervisors with the Award for Excellence for the passion and creativity he showed in defending Wayne, as well as for his long career as a hardworking government attorney. Rons help with the case history was also important because Governor Schwarzenegger appointed Steven Mapes to the bench the same month that Canty died. As a judge, Mapes apparently didnt feel it was appropriate to talk to me for this book, Ron said.
When I initially contacted Waynes mother in India via e-mail, she said she would be willing to answer questions about his family history. However, after I sent her a four-page list of questions that included Genes perspective, she apologized but said she had to renege. She didnt want to be part of any book in which Gene and Rodney were involved, given that their versions of events were so far apart from hers.
