I actually worked at the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff's department when these crimes were terrorizing our community. I lived about 2 blocks away from Rex Kreb's victim that sent him to prison for 20 years, serving 10. It was heart wrenching to watch the families and friends come search our community looking for their daughters that had gone missing. There seemed to be a profile of the missing girls, which were young, single, small framed girls from the college.

This is a true crime book which is not as gruesome and it leads you to believe on the cover. Either that or I am just desensitized to such things. The story is sad all the way around. Child abuse....prison.....rape......kidnapping......murder.I have teen-aged daughters and it is frightening to think that such things are happening in this world all too often. This book gives you a good insight into the world of such mayhem. I found the first 3/4 of the book to be pretty intriguing...but thought t...more

I have a few minor complaints about pieces of Mitchell's writing style but that's it/ Otherwise I liked the book a lot. It stayed interesting, no real drop off points there and unlike a lot of true crime books these days it had a beginning, middle and an end. It's nice to see the end result and know that some form of justice was received, however incapable of bringing peace to the victims families.
Even the portion of the book that dealt with the court trials was very interesting and usual...more

A good read-gets you from the start-tough if you're a mother of teen girls,
this guy obviously showed signs for years and years that no one caught-and
having no real family support system he didn't have much of a chance at getting
help-like so many other serial killers that have come to light. Interesting book. I'd give
it a four outta five stars- maybe five.

I became paranoid or aware, (however you want to put it) once I read this book. Why am I interested in reading true crime stories?? Well, it's still a "mystery" to me. These are some sad and sick stories but for some reason I'm drawn to them. Not so much now that I'm older, but if you are in that kinda' mood, go for it.
It sucks cause I cannot find when I read it and what my thoughts were. Well Maybe I will read it again. I think I liked it. Must be cause after this book I bought many more books by this author.
This book is about Rex Krebs who after only serving ten of a twenty year sentence, kidnapped, raped, and murdered two young college students. This book is very well written, Corey Mitchell did a fantastic job of giving lots of details, but not so much I was bored and the book dragged. Even though the book was well written, it was a hard read for me, being a mom of all girls, one of which is in college and one who's only a few years off from being on her way. Stories like these make me want to lo...more
The tragedy of Rachel Newhouse and Aundria Crawford, murdered by a sex-offender who was released on parole ten years early.
How can 'people' be so brutal? A shame that anyone ends up facing these monsters
A really interesting read. Rex Krebs is out on parole when he rapes and murders two young women in CA. One of the things I liked about hte book was the in depth discussions of his psychological issues and the opinions of different experts on them.
This book is a tragedy, not only for the victims of Rex Krebs, but because of his childhood. His neglect & abuse was the perfect combination to create a serial killer. This man obviously needed a family & support system, but never got it.
Highly recommended.
Highly recommended.
Dark and disturbing.
