JIMMY THE KING-Gus Garcia-Roberts

To the people of Olney, Texas, 39 year-old Faryion Wardrip was an upright citizen-a happily married man, a valued employee, and a respected Sunday school teacher. In January, 1999, investigators reviewing the files of 3 unsolved murders dating back 15 years came across information linking Wardrip to the female victims-Terry Sims who was bound, raped and stabbed to death. Toni Gibbs slashed and sexually assaulted and left in a bus shelter and Ellen Blau who disappeared after a workshift and her decomposing body found a month later. Clever police snared a DNA sample from Wardrip which matched the DNA found with Terry Sims. Wardrip then confessed to the three murders and 1 more-Debra Taylor. Wardrip is also a suspect in 10 other murders but it was Sim's murder that made him eligible for the death penalty.

Rhode Island detectives knew they had a serial killer in their midst. But the victims were women who lived and worked in a sexual underground-and whose bodies were never found. Then, prostitutes began to talk about a man who played rough. Police arrested Jeffrey Mailhot, a seemingly law-abiding ordinary citizen and an incredible duel of wits began. A brilliant police interrogation led to a chilling confession. This story is an insider's account of a modern-day Jack-the Ripper, which includes the killer's own words, telling police how he killed women with his bare hands, cut them into pieces-and then went off to kill again.

From the time he was a teenager, Jeremy Bryan Jones had let his violent passions run wild: attacking, raping, and mutilating. Then, in Mobile County, Alabama, Jones' rampage was stopped. But no one knew how many bodies were in his past. Convicted and sentenced to die for the brutal murder of Lisa Nichols, an Alabama mother of two children, Jones shocked authorities with the story of his life - and his claims of snuffing out over a dozen victims in thirteen years. But was he telling the truth, or was he simply taunting his captors? Detectives from across the South scrambled to prove Jones' claims. At every turn, the man dubbed "the redneck Ted Bundy" made a mockery of the police, the courts, and the media, and investigations into the horrifying crimes attributed to him still continue. Now, for the first time, the definitive story is told about a psychopath who enjoyed confessing almost as much as he enjoyed killing...

For half a year, the man who came to be known as the Abbotsford killer terrorized the valley community.On Friday, Oct. 13, 1995, two teenage girls - Tanya Smith, 16, and Misty Cockerill, 15 - were attacked by Terry Driver in the heart of the city. Smith's body was found near the Vedder Canal. Driver had clubbed Cockerill seven times in the head with a baseball bat, but she managed to get to the nearby hospital to tell her story.The case was a bizarre cat and mouse game; the murderer taunted the public and the police by dumping a gravestone on a vehicle at a local radio station. The killer would call the station and police from local phone booths, saying he would kill again. People, women and girls in particular, deserted the streets at dusk, too afraid to be out on their own.Dozens of Abbotsford Police officers worked with the RCMP, tracking down the suspect.The case broke when two things happened: investigators found a complete fingerprint on an envelope that was with an item Driver had thrown into a window. The second was when Driver's own mother recognized his voice on tapes the police made public.Rod Gehl, a retired Abbotsford police inspector who took the first call from Driver back in 1995, will discuss his book on the case, called, THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW: The Search for the Abbotsford Killer-Rod Gehl Follow and comment on Facebook-TRUE MURDER: The Most Shocking Killers in True Crime History   https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064697978510Check out TRUE MURDER PODCAST @ truemurderpodcast.com
