Bodies Of Evidence (Notorious USA)

This collection looks at some of the most infamous crimes committed in the Pacific Northwest, a region that has produced more than its share of notorious killers. The cases range across Washington, Oregon and Idaho and include serial murderers, parents who kill their children, a woman who married and killed one husband after another, a teacher whose relationship with a student caused national outrage, and an early school shooting. Some of the crimes made history, while others are less widely known but still shocking. Several entries also include a personal essay, one from a writer who grew up in the shadow of local serial killers. Together the chapters show how ordinary lives can be wrecked by violence, and how a community can carry the memory of such events long after the headlines fade.
