A chilling tale of brutal rapes and murders by a man who was charming enough to win The Dating Game in 1978. In the days before DNA could prove the identity of a rapist/killer, there was little hope of ever finding the man who committed these horrible crimes, but almost 30 years later, the DNA technology helps to bring justice to the families of the women who had been so brutally raped and murdered, and posed for the shock effect of the person who would eventually find their mangled bodies. A very good true crime book.
