Colder Case: How California Executed the Wrong Man and Left as Serial Killer Free to Stalk Children - about the tragic 1937 murder case of three small children - two sisters and their friend. Melba Marie Everett and her little sister Madeline Everett were playing in a park with their friend Jeanette Stephens when they disappeared. Concerned citizens were sure the wrong man was going to be hanged for their murders and they were certain they knew who the actual killer was. Uncivil Twilight revealed how the prosecutors, lead detectives, the jury and many witnesses fought against the execution of S.C. Stone after an "error-free" conviction. This book, Book 2, reveals how 1937 citizens thought they had a serial killer in Los Angeles, and that serial killer committed the 1924 murders and the 1937 murders. Their efforts failed when "feeble-minded" Albert Dyer was convicted of their murders and executed. Join the factual hunt for the most cunning serial killer of the 20th century, one who was never caught, one who was happiest when someone else was convicted of his murders. The Colder Case Series will not stop until the killer is found and revealed in the last book.… (more)
