Unbelievable Crimes Volume Five - by Daniela Airlie (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Come with me to investigate some of the most unnerving tales of human wickedness in Unbelievable Crimes Volume Five.

In the fifth installment of the series, I'll take you deep into the shadows of true crime history to uncover a new selection of shocking crimes you may not have heard of before. From deranged kidnappings to murderous teenage gangs, this volume of Unbelievable Crimes will cover some truly twisted tales from truly wicked people.

Discover the crimes of a master manipulator and cold-blooded killer who acted like an upstanding member of his community in Mesa, Arizona. When his horrific crimes came to light, no one could believe he was capable of such cruelty - but irrefutable DNA evidence proved otherwise.

Retrace the harrowing saga of the Gallegos, a married couple who just so happened to be dangerous predators. The sadistic duo prowled the streets of California in the late 70s, searching for young victims to lure into their van before carrying out their depraved desires.

I'll cover the story behind the murder of Danielle Jones, a young life cut short in England in 2001. Sadly, her body was never found, but in an unusual twist, the case was cracked by analysis of text messages sent by the killer.

Explore the tale of Armin Meiwes, a German man who craved human flesh. Not only did Armin act upon his macabre desire, but he also found a victim who was willing to be eaten. His twisted appetite would be satisfied - but a man would die in the process.

Learn about a case so callous it defies belief: a British mother who killed her children in a sick act of filicide. Why? Because they got in the way of her dating life.

Get to know about the devastating murder of a young girl whose killer escaped justice for over three decades. In the early 90s, Nikki Allan was horrifically and senselessly killed, and for years it seemed like her murderer would never be brought to justice. A new phenomenon of true crime sees historic crimes getting solved with new DNA capabilities. Therefore, criminals from years ago are now being brought to justice - this is one such case.

Uncover these cases, as well as six more stories in Unbelievable Crimes Volume Five. Just like the previous books in this series, I do my best to ensure the victims' suffering is remembered and the shameful actions of the criminals are highlighted. As with all the installments of this series, I'll examine the darkest depths of human malice.

I recount real-life cases of murder, violence, and unimaginable cruelty. Please bear this in mind before reading.
