ABANDONED. True crime book - story telling from detectives about murders. A story I remember: Another was of a family that was killed (children??) they were put in a barrel of acid and then placed in the outdoor pot plants

Hi all,

Been searching for this book for about a year. True crime with stories about how police found several killers in this book and the twisted criminology behind it.

As mentioned above, stories I remember:

A male convinced his college gf to move in with him, he then killed her and froze her body parts. He had also been eating her.

A family (vaguely remember something to do with children) were killed, placed in a barrel of acid and their bones were placed in the pot plants.

The cover was white (with black) red blood splatters and crime scene evidence like bullets, evidence bags and knives.

I read this around 2005-2007, the book was given to me by a friend. It was the book that really got me into reading about true crime. The book could’ve been made in late 1990-early 2000 as the pages were slightly discoloured.

Any help would be great!!
