Synopsis:

Welcome To My Mortuary! Those were the words of William Lee 'Cody' Neal to Angela Fite on July 5, 1998, after luring the pretty 28-year-old to the Denver, Colorado townhouse he'd turned into a den of torture and slaughter. With twisted pleasure, he showed her two dead female bodies on the floor and a third, live one.

Neal, who called himself Wild Bill Cody, was seductive and skilful at separating love-struck women from their money - and ultimately, their lives. 43-year-old divorcee Rebecca Holberton let Neal move into her townhouse and loaned him $70,000. On June 30, 1998, he repaid her by crushing her skull with an axe and wrapping her in plastic. On July 3, he brought another girlfriend, Candace Walters to the townhouse, clubbed her to death and desecrated the body. Two days later Suzanne Scott watched helplessly as Angela Fite was murdered by Neal, who then sodomised and raped his bound captive.

Apprehended by police, Neal, who proclaimed himself better than Ted Bundy, insisted on representing himself at the trial. Though the evidence against him was overwhelming, it was the testimony of Suzanne, who had survived Neal's unspeakable torture, that finally put this monster on Colorado's death row.

The chilling true story of William "Wild Bill Cody" Neal- The vicious Denver Lady-Killer


"Welcome to My Mortuary!"

Those were the words of William Lee "Cody" Neal, 43, to Angela Fite on July 5, 1998, after luring the pretty 28-year-old to the Denver, Colorado townhouse he'd turned into a den of torture and slaughter. With twisted pleasure, he showed her two dead female bodies on the floor and a third, live one-naked, gagged and bound, and spread-eagled on a mattress.

"AnyBody Stupid Enough To Believe Me Deserves to Get Screwed!"

Neal, who called himself "Wild Bill Cody," was seductive and skillful at separating love-struck women from their money, and ultimately, their lives. 43-year-old divorcee Rebecca Haloberton let Neal move into her townhouse and "loaned" him $70,000. On June 30, 1998, he raped her by crushing her skull with an az and wrapping her in plastic. On Friday, July 3, he brought another girlfriend, Candace Walters, 48, to the townhouse, clubbing her to death and desecrating the body. On Sunday, yet another acquaintance, Suzanna Scott, 21, watched helplessly as Angela Fite was murdered by Neal, who then sodomized and raped his bound captive.


"Here's What Happens When you Mess With Me!"

Apprehended by police, Neal, who proclaimed himself better than Ted Bundy, insisted on representing himself at the trial. Though the evidence against him was overwhelming, it was the testimony of Suzanne, who had survived Neal's unspeakable torture, that finally put his monster on Colorado's death row.

This book is about a very self-centered man who didn't live in reality. He was a con man who used women. He finally killed three women with an ax. He had no remorse for what he did. It was senseless. I don't know why he didn't just keep conning women and living off of them instead of resorting to murder. It's a wonder there weren't more people murdered by this monster.
