Killers Online: 100 True Stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780942605532)

KILLERS ONLINE links 100 unique murder stories to the social media apps and classified ad sites on which the killer and victim first connected. Chapters include Facebook Fatalities, Tinder Trap, eDisHarmony, J[Dead]Date, Zooskicide, Craigslist Carnage, Plenty of [Dead] Fish, Fiend Finder, Bumble Killer Bees, Badoo Bad Boys, Grindr Graveyard, and others. The Introduction provides some background about the sites, surveyed facts and figures as to who and how many use them, what is considered sexually "normal" and "not normal" these days, and how to minimize the risks whether meeting a stranger for a date or sex hookup, or to buy or sell a car or toaster. The author ferreted out details from multiple sources in each case, including victims' and killers' photos, ages, relationships, circumstances that led to the murder, and killers' outcomes, for anyone who enjoys a bloodthirsty tale, as truth is more bizarre than fiction. Includes "300 Dating and Sex Encounter Exploitive Apps," and a Bibliography of news sources. Over 200 photos. Indexed.
