Publisher Description
Featured in the Netflix limited series: Crime Scene, The Texas Killing Fields!
Critically acclaimed author Kathryn Casey delivers a riveting account of the brutal murders of young women in the I-45/Texas Killing Fields—a chilling true story that has already helped police uncover evidence that may link suspected serial killer William Lewis Reece to some of the heinous crimes
Over a three-decade span, more than twenty women—many teenagers—died mysteriously in the small towns bordering Interstate 45, a fifty-mile stretch of highway running from Houston to Galveston. The victims were strangled, shot, or savagely beaten. Six met their demise in pairs. They had one thing in common: being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The day she vanished, Colette Wilson waited for her mother after band practice. Best friends Debbie Ackerman and Maria Johnson loved to surf and were last seen hitchhiking. Laura Kate Smither dreamed of becoming a ballerina and disappeared just weeks before her thirteenth birthday.
In this harrowing true crime exposition, award-winning journalist Kathryn Casey tracks these tragic cases, investigates the evidence, interviews the suspects, and pulls back the cloak of secrecy in search of elusive answers.
Customer Reviews
One of the Best True Crime books
I just finished Deliver Us. Wow! I had a hard time putting this book down. It was one of, if not the best, true crime books I’ve read. I have read many, many true crime books over the years. It is well written and flows well. There are pictures, which I really appreciate in a true crime book. All in all, I highly recommend this book if you love true crime. I pray for all the victims and hope that someday, the loved ones of the missing and the murders that have not been solved, get answers.
