A Note From The Author
Introduction

Unfortunately, crime is a part of life in the modern world. That is not to say that
crime is a purely modern phenomenon, but with the advent of modern
technology, criminals have become more mobile. Criminals are able to easily
traverse through countries and from one country to another to commit their
nefarious deeds.
Because of that, it has become increasingly difficult to run away from crime.
Modern technology has also allowed international audiences to learn about high-
profile crimes and in some cases for fan followings of criminals to develop.
In the pages of this book, you will learn about twelve high-profile crime cases
from around the world. Some of these cases, such as the Hinterkaifeck murders
and the murder of Kelly Anne Bates, attained notoriety due to their brutal and
bizarre nature, while others were solved by DNA profiling after several twists
and turns.
Many of the cases in this book received considerable media attention while they
were ongoing, sometimes earning the often overused moniker “the trial of the
century.” The first true “trial of the century,” the Helen Jewett murder case, is
profiled here and compared with another notorious case from the 1990s.
Some of these cases looked like they would never be solved, but through a
combination of scientific advances and good police work, the killers were
eventually caught and justice was served. Unfortunately, some cases, such as the
murder of Chandra Levy and the assassination of William Stewart, remain open
and unsolved.
So indulged your curiosity and open the pages of this book to learn about twelve
of the most baffling and bizarre cases in the annals of criminal history.
