One Step From Murder Robert J Sadler

This is a true crime story; don't read it in bed! ONE STEP FROM MURDER: THE FRIENDLY BURGLAR-RAPIST, (FBR), a mild-mannered Dallas public relations executive by day, roving rapist by night, moves inexorably toward murder. Free to rape for over three years-was the FBR that smart, police that inept, or was the public that unconcerned? Revealed in the rapist's, victims' and cop's own words is the, never before divulged, inside story chronicling the 82 offenses attributed to the FBR in the mid 1970's and how my partner and I, two veteran street cops, battled internal police politics while developing predictive crime analysis techniques and doggedly working to engineer the FBR's capture. To women, the story of rape is never "old news"! ONE STEP FROM MURDER: THE FRIENDLY BURGLAR-RAPIST strongly appeals to adult women who want to know how rape happens; the red flags to watch for in hopes of preventing themselves from being a victim; want to delve into the rapist's psyche; ponder how a man can leave his wife and family, night after night burglarizing apartments for women to rape; understand how his victims reacted, their thoughts; how they escaped or survived and compare these factors against their own female intuition and experience. Men are fascinated for many of the same reasons. This true crime story, though sad and chilling provides lessons that can be learned safely from your arm-chair or your airplane seat. Again, I caution against reading this book in bed.
