Publisher Comments:

The startling true story of William K. Sapp, a seemingly normal family man who shattered the peace of an idyllic Midwestern town. Springfield, Ohio was an All-American town. A town rocked in 1992 by the discovery of two adolescent girls, brutally raped and murdered. Investigators soon learned that four local misfits had been accomplices. Yet DNA tests proved that the true culprit was still on the loose. Inexplicably, the four men continued to mislead police throughout the years of the investigation, periodically supplying false clues and leads. While a cold-blooded killer remained at large, 31-year-old Belinda Anderson was raped and murdered, and Helen Preston, 38, was raped, beaten, and left for dead. Not until 1996, when a prostitute managed to survive a terrifying ordeal at the hands of her would-be slayer, were police able to catch the man who'd been stalking Springfield's women and children. He was William K. Sapp, husband, father of two young boys and a baby girl of his own. Behind his mask of seeming normalcy lay a murderous rage toward women. Here is the startling true story of a town besieged-and of the relentless manhunt that tracked Sapp through the years, finally bringing him to justice.

I have lived in Springfield all my life -- Sgt Al Groeber was a very close and dear friend of mine and I watched that case literally drain the life out of him.

A lot of us here in Springfield would say that case killed Al ---

The book is an excellent piece and I highly suggest anyone interested in police work etc get a copy ---
