  • Terry Mangum claimed he went to a gay bar to find someone who'd pay for him to go to welding school. Later he said he'd planned the murder for six months after reading the Bible for thousands of hours.

David McConnell is the author of The Silver Hearted and The Firebrat, as well as a journalist.
