The Boy Who Fired the First Shot
A boy with a rifle walks into a middle school, intent on carrying out Western-style vigilante justice. A wife and mother of four kisses her twelve-year-old student and forever changes our definition of student-teacher conferences. The world�s most famous serial killers put Washington on the map. A bathtub, a handgun, a meat grinder, and a burn barrel play a role in the murder of the captain of a freighter.
New York Times bestselling author Gregg Olsen (�If Loving You Is Wrong,� �Starvation Heights�) and veteran journalist Rebecca Morris (�Ted and Ann � The Mystery of a Missing Child and Her Neighbor Ted Bundy�), take a new look at Washington�s most notorious crimes. Many of them made history. Two � Ted Bundy�s killings and Mary Kay Letourneau�s teacher sex scandal � made Time magazine�s list of the top crimes of the 20th century. Some are lesser known or have taken on new importance, including one of the country�s first school shootings, in Moses Lake. With a bonus essay by Washington native Gregg Olsen on growing up in the shadow of serial killers Ted Bundy, Gary Ridgway, and Robert Lee Yates, Jr.
Cases include:
Barry Loukaitis � Before Sandy Hook and Columbine, there was Frontier Middle School in Moses Lake, Washington.
Rosalina Misina Mendoza Dugeno Manthie Edmondson � She had many last names as she married and killed one husband after another.
Ruth Neslund � Her husband thought captaining a huge freighter right into the West Seattle Bridge was the worst that could happen to him. It wasn�t.
Mary Kay LeTourneau � She said they were �soul mates.� He made a bet with another student that he would sleep with her.
Ted Bundy � He�s the one and only �Ted,� and remains a part of our lives. Now we�ve learned more about his.
Kenneth Bianchi � Los Angeles� most terrifying murders were finally solved 1,200 miles north in Bellingham, Washington.
