Each year hundreds of similar crimes are committed, many of which are never solved. This book attempts to uncover what truly happened to Patton, Whelan and Falconio, as well as recounts the investigations of other horrendous crimes, including the hunt for the rapist of a 92-year-old woman, the perpetrators of the gruesome bashing death of a benefactor to street kids, and the hunt for a ruthless serial rapist and murderer.
