Book : Under The Trestle The 1980 Disappearance Of Gina...
-Titulo Original : Under The Trestle The 1980 Disappearance Of Gina Renee Hall & Virginia’s First “no Body” Murder Trial.-Fabricante : IUniverse-Descripcion Original: “Under The Trestle” is the true story of the most compelling murder case in Virginia history. In 1980, beautiful Gina Renee Hall, a Radford University freshman, went to a Virginia Tech nightclub on a Saturday night. She was never seen again. Her abandoned car was found parked beneath a railroad trestle bridging the New River, with blood in the trunk. The investigation led police to a secluded cabin on Claytor Lake, where there was evidence of a violent attack. Former Virginia Tech football player Stephen Epperly was charged with murder, despite the fact that Gina’s body was never found. In Virginia’s “trial of the century,” prosecutor Everett Shockley presented an entirely circumstantial case. Key witnesses against Epperly included his best friend, his mother and a tracking dog handler later believed by many to be a fraud. Three former Virginia Tech football players testified, including a Hokies quarterback once featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Would Epperly become the first person in Virginia history convicted of murder without the victim’s body, an eyewitness or a confession? And would authorities ever find the body of Gina Renee Hall... -

Book : Programmed To Kill The Politics Of Serial Murder -...
-Titulo Original : Programmed To Kill The Politics Of Serial Murder-Fabricante : IUniverse-Descripcion Original: The specter of the marauding serial killer has become a relatively common feature on the American landscape. Reactions to these modern-day monsters range from revulsion to morbid fascination-fascination that is either fed by, or a product of, the saturation coverage provided by print and broadcast media, along with a dizzying array of books, documentary films, websites, and Movies of the Week. The prevalence in Western culture of images of serial killers (and mass murderers) has created in the public mind a consensus view of what a serial killer is. Most people are aware, to some degree, of the classic serial killer profile. But what if there is a much different profile-one that has not received much media attention? In Programmed to Kill, acclaimed and always controversial author David McGowan takes a fresh look at the lives of many of Americas most notorious accused murderers, focusing on the largely hidden patterns that suggest that there may be more to the average serial killer story than meets the eye. Think you know everything there is to know about serial killers? Or is it possible that sometimes what everyone knows to be true isnt really true at all... -

Nicknamed, ?The Squirrel? for his elusivenes, Thrasher was a daredevil pilot who made millions flying marijuana and cocaine from South America into the US in the 70s and 80s. With his beautiful Portuguese-born wife, Olga, he lived in a mountain estate near Virginia?s New River Valley. He owned oceanfront homes and yachts in Florida, spent weekends in the Caribbean and laundered money in Las Vegas, where he partied with Frank Sinatra?s entourage. The Feds were hot on his tail in 1984 when word came that he had died in a plane crash in Belize, his body burnt to ashes. But investigators soon learned the crash was staged and the death certificate fake. Meanwhile, Olga became a federal informant assisting the DEA in an audacious undercover sting to infiltrate the highest levels of his smuggling ring. Thirteen international traffickers were indicted, including Bolivian drug lord Roberto Suarez-Gomez, known as the world?s ?King of Cocaine.? But Wally Thrasher was never caught. Authorities believe he has spent the past four decades living in some faraway tropical land. He was recently profiled on ?America?s Most Wanted? as US Marshals chased leads around the globe in his pursuit.

Book : Keeping Each Other Alive A Vietnam War Memoir - Hile,
-Titulo Original : Keeping Each Other Alive A Vietnam War Memoir-Fabricante : IUniverse-Descripcion Original: At the height of the Vietnam war, the U.S. Army drafted Norman Hile out of law school, trained him to be an artillery officer, and in August 1970 sent him to serve a one year combat tour in South Vietnams I Corps, where the war was hottest. Keeping Each Other Alive is Hiles memoir of that combat tour. Quoting from letters he wrote home from the field, using photos he personally took of combat operations, and recounting his memories of that unforgettable year in war, Hile describes what it felt like to be an artillery forward observer in the field with an infantry company, and then an aerial observer in light planes and helicopters flying over enemy territory. Keeping Each Other Alive is a very personal account of what one soldier endured in a war that had already been lost when he arrived to fight it. Hile recounts the terror of nighttime mortar attacks, sweltering in Vietnams tropical heat and humidity while carrying a heavy pack, trying to spice up C-rations, surviving a monsoon storm on a mountainside, providing aerial cover for a convoy heading to see Bob Hopes Christmas show, and being one of the first to arrive overhead at Firebase Mary Ann to witness one of the wars worst debacles. Hiles memoir allows the reader to experience not just the conditions that soldiers in the Vietnam war withstood, but also crackles with flashes of insanity, pathos and humor that soldiers in that war were bound to experience while trying to keep themselves and each other alive. Review “Anyone who wishes to understand what it was like to be drafted and fulfill your duty as a citizen, but to fight in a war you thought was misguided and futile, should read this well-crafted and insightful memoir. Norman Hile takes the reader from the terror and physical hardship of war on the ground to the dread of flying combat missions during the final days of the Vietnam War, when he and his fellow soldiers were wondering if they’d be the last one to die.”-Karl Marlantes, New York Times best selling author of The Matterhorn,What It Is Like To Go To War, and Deep River.“Norman Hile has written a powerful, personal memoir of his time in Vietnam. As someone who has read or watched most of the histories of that conflict, I found Keeping Each Other Alive to be a compelling, new and personal history that allows the reader to experience that time in a way more dramatic and human than those other stories. If you wish to experience the life of an articulate, observant soldier on the front lines during the most challenging times of that war, read this book. For anyone interested in the history of the Vietnam War, or in the broader experience of a brilliant observer on the front lines of combat, Keeping Each Other Alive is a must read.”-George E. Pataki, former three term Governor of New York.“For years, I have reported on attorney Norman Hile’s extraordinary dedication to death row clients, but I never quite understood his drive to save lives until I read his stirring account of his time in Vietnam, “Keeping Each Other Alive”. This is not an ordinary war memoir. It’s a soul- searching examination of the dilemmas faced by good people trying to hold onto their souls while staying alive.”-Erin Moriarty, correspondent for CBS News’ “48 Hours” and “Sunday Morning,”9 times National Emmy Award winner, co-author of “Death of a Dream.”“During the 11 years I’ve known Norm Hile, I had no clue he was a Vietnam War combat veteran.
