1. Ethnic Cleansing (Genocide) is NOT serial murder. (p. 2 & 3 the authors claim that the Holocaust was a case of serial murder).
2. Sexual Homicide (whether serial or not) is committed for the sole purpose of sexual gratification. To claim that a killer who murders for profit is a sexual predator merely because she made her living as a prostitute is sadly erroneous. (see Aileen Wuornos pp. 108 -120).
3. Steven Parent (a victim of the Manson clan) was NOT a guest of Sharon Tate (as claimed on p.224), but rather a guest of the young man (caretaker) who lived in the guesthouse behind the main house.
Frankly, this book fails as a creditable study of serial murder, and should be given a wide berth by serious readers.
This type of poor research, leaving the reader with wrong answers, is a disservice to the attempt to correctly document these types of crimes. Finally I am very disappointed as, when I find a book where I know there are mistakes in cases with which I was intimately involved, I have to wonder just how many others with which I am not familiar have suffered the same fate. A book like this should be very carefully written and documented. Sadly, this one was not!
"Like Azrael, she has the outward appearance of a caring benefactor, however, like that messenger from God, she carries a weapon of lethal destruction at her side and is willing to preside over the question of life or death for even the most innocent of charges."
The overwhelming majority of their notes from each chapter are derived from the Internet and the same CD-ROM. There is no evidence of first or second hand experience which significantly lowers their credibility because it seems like one big term paper based on resources from the internet and a few other books that can be found in the true crime section.
Think of it as "Real TV" or "Cops" with cheesy, over-the-top narration and you get the idea.
