Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  libraryofemma | Apr 18, 2024 |   This is the true story of Paul Holes as he takes us through the various cases of his career including Laci and Connor Peterson, Jaycee Dugard, and the evolution of the Golden State Killer. Paul touches on each of these cases a little bit but the majority of the book is about his chasing the Golden State Killer for over twenty years. He became obsessed with this case when he found a file drawer full of cold case files attributed to a single rapist. Originally known as the East Area Rapist (EAR) and Night Stalker, the moniker of Golden State Killer was given by Michelle McNamara, author of I’ll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman’s Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer. There is one chapter devoted to her when she and Paul worked together briefly before she tragically passed away in her sleep. After her death, her husband, the actor Patton Oswalt, ensured that her book was completed. Paul discloses that every time he would get called to a scene and begin investigating a case, he would jump in wholeheartedly. This hurt his family life and ultimately his first marriage. He ended up meeting and marrying another woman who understood his fascination as she was in the same field, but his obsession wore on that marriage as well. There is a lot of talk about DNA in this book and the evolution of different types of DNA testing on previously unusable samples. He also talks about using DNA samples from relatives to identify the suspect.

Here he goes over his methods of processing a crime scene with an attention to detail and overlooked clues. (  ) mstrust | Oct 24, 2023 | I have admired Paul Holes since reading I'll Be Gone In The Dark right after the capture of the GSK, and the way he remembered Michelle McNamara in this was very, very sweet, I think she would have liked that. I feel like the first half of this was a little slow, and then the second half was so fast paced it felt like sprinting to the end of a marathon. This is why I came up with 4 stars. Definitely worth a read though! ( ) Danielle.Desrochers | Oct 10, 2023 | ) Andy5185 | Jul 9, 2023 |
