CHAPTER ONE
Tuesday 2100 Hours
Car tires squealed as both sport utility vehicles skidded sideways across the narrow street. The ear-piercing screeches and waves of gravel spray continued as the vehicles held the uneven surface and pivoted onto a bumpy dirt road. The pitch-blackness of the night illuminated with the blinding headlights of the two cars – one pursuing the other. Motors revved and engines tacked well into the red zones. The high beams bobbed and w...

Serial Sex Offender Caught Following Car Accident
There is a certain psychology enmeshed in those who engage in serial violence, particularly those who terrorize with crimes as sexual predators. While their mindset may be fascinating to study, this is best done from the confines of a prison cell. Fortunately, it appears that one more serial sex offender has been taken off the streets, and the way his capture took place was rather unusual and a testament to attentive police work.
There had been multiple sexual assaults taking place in the Tuls...

Serial Sex Offender Charged in Decade-Old Cold Case
It is always good news when a serial sex offender is brought to justice and made to face the punishment for his horrific crimes. When the offender is accused of harming children, the call for swift and the harshest possible punishment is particularly loud . . . which is understandable.
Alabama’s Cold Case Unit showed impressive and dedicated work in putting forth evidence this week against Billy Wayne Cooper for alleged crimes committed between 1999 and 2004. He now faces multiple charges incl...

Are Female Serial Killers More Shocking Than Men Who Commit the Same Acts?
Serial killer Aileen Wuornos
Let’s say that for some reason you are sitting in a criminal psychology class and the teacher scrawls one statement across the chalkboard that is to serve as the one essay topic for your final exam:
Describe a serial killer.
If you have been paying attention in class all semester, or even just watched some good thriller movies at the local theater, you probably would share a serial killer is usually a male and often white. He tends to be a narcissist. There may be dr...

Turning to Crime for Attention in the Digital Age
In a story that has been gaining national media attention and public outrage over the past few days, a mother in New York has been arrested on murder charges for allegedly poisoning her five-year-old son with salt. Evidence shows that she may have been doing this periodically over much of the young child’s life, growing to feed off the attention and sympathy she was receiving from social media and those she knew. And who would not want to extend compassion to a single mother whose son was str...

What Would You Write in Your Crime Scene Investigator’s Notebook?
Originally posted on Author Jennifer Chase:
The job of a crime scene investigator isn’t glamorous or exotic as it is portrayed on popular television shows or even in the movies. This daunting task is extremely important and necessary for any criminal police investigation in order to find out who committed the crime and to bring the perpetrator(s) to justice.
In my latest thriller DEAD BURN, Emily Stone tracks down serial killers and uses techniques of crime scene investigators in order to gath...

In recent years, we have seen the 24/7 news cycle consumed with several stories of kidnap victims who are reunited with their families after many months or even years of separation. A decade ago, we all were stunned when Elizabeth Smart was discovered with her captors not far from her home in Utah nine months after she was abducted. Then five years ago we were even more stunned to learn that a California girl named Jaycee Lee Dugard was found eighteen years aft...

I have spent years developing a series of novels around a woman, Emily Stone, who takes matters into her own hands to rid her community of pedophiles and murderers. She uses technology and weapons and simple instinct to bring these criminals to justice with all of the evidence the police need to finish the effort. So, I can see the noble purpose in wanting to engage in vigilante justice, however ill-advised without the proper training. When the...
