The horrifying true story of Timothy Krajcir, a serial killer who terrorized the Midwest for three decades, claiming at least nine victims before he was finally convicted. This story has been covered by numerous major media outlets including CNN, The New York Times, and USA Today. The subject of Walker's book inspired multiple television shows. A mother and daughter - brutalized, murdered, and left to rot in the summer heat. A young college student - killed with a.38 handgun at a remote highway rest stop. These were just a few of the victims of Timothy Krajcir, a sexual predator with an unquenchable appetite for violence...He would travel to towns where nobody knew him, break into a woman's home, and wait for her. It started when he was still in his teens, when a rape conviction landed Krajcir in jail.
