Thus began the unmasking of a serial killer of nine women, and resolved sixty rapes and robberies. The true story of the dark life of Timothy Krajcir, who hunted his victims in parking lots and neighborhoods, ends with his sentencing at a federal courthouse in Cape Girardeau, Missouri on April 4, 2008. Author Bio: Bonney Hogue Patterson says, "The murder of my neighbor, Virginia Lee Witte, occurred in the small, middle-American town of Marion, Illinois, on May 12, 1978. I had only moved to the area in January of that year, did not know everyone who lived nearby, and did not realize an encounter with a rather ominous stranger was not someone generally known in the area." This is the author's first book. She now lives near St. Louis, Missouri.
