More victims than Bundy . . . In Houston, Texas, on a Sunday morning in spring, Coral Eugene Watts trapped two young women in their apartment.Only hours before, he'd killed another woman by drowning her in her bathtub.As Watts attempted to do the same to 20-year-old Lori Lister, her roommate made a daring escape, leading to Watts's arrest. Watts confessed to thirteen murders, but with no direct evidence, he managed to plea bargain his sentence down to 60 years for burglary. Through the untiring efforts of investigators and the mother of one of his victims, Watts was finally convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison, where he remained the prime suspect in dozens of other slayings. Experts theorized that Watts may have slain more than Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, and John Wayne Gacy . . . combined! Bestselling author Corey Mitchell takes us inside the twisted mind of "The Sunday Morning Slasher" and tells the chilling story of how he almost got away with murder. "Corey Mitchell empathized with crime victims in a unique and personal way. That empathy is evident in every true crime book he wrote." -Suzy Spencer "Mitchell nailed the real story." -City of Houston Mayor's Office "Mitchell is the leading voice of true crime." -Dennis McDougal… (mehr)

True Crime
  BooksInMirror | Feb 19, 2024 |
This is the true account of Carl “Coral” Eugene Watts, a serial killer in Michigan, when Michigan got too ‘hot’ for him, in the sense that a local detective had him pegged for several murders, he moved to Texas. He didn’t stop killing though, by the time he was arrested he had killed 13 more women. Watts killed in a variety of ways and left little evidence behind. He confessed but plea bargained to burglary with a 60 year sentence. Due to a legal flaw in the Texas criminal justice system, Watts was supposed to be released from prison in 2006. Through the ceaseless efforts of investigators and the mother of one of the victims, Watts was finally tried and convicted to life in prison for a murder he’d committed in Michigan in 1979.

This book has it all, the life of Watts, his life of crime, a brief biography of his victims, mainly because there were so many (I counted 40 women linked to or suspected to be linked to him), the trial and then the briefs and motions he filed to reduce his sentence and the efforts made to keep him in prison. A fascinating well written account of a horrible person. ( )

Good read. As an avid true crime reader I was familiar with Eugene Watts and the crimes he committed.
I was shocked to learn that so many people don’t know about this or just do not seem to care.

And then how the parole works (worked) in America, They earn good points for every day served)
Well in my country it is much worse. If you kill someone you will get 3 to 4 years if you are unlucky and with all the punishments here, one third of it will be reduced of your jail time. so if your punishment is 9 months you will only have to do 6 jail time.
8.5
