Description

Serial Killers Of The 70s by Jane Fritsch explores the grim and chilling world of serial murderers who became infamous during the 1970s. From notorious figures like Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy to the infamous David Berkowitz, this book delves into the heinous acts of some of the era's most brutal killers, as well as some you may never have heard of.

The 1970s were a time when terrifying serial killers, such as the Co-Ed Killer, Son of Sam, Hillside Strangler, and Dating Game Killer, were as synonymous with the decade as Watergate, disco, and the oil crisis. This fascinating collection of profiles presents both the most notorious and lesser-known serial murderers of that period.

Beyond infamous names like Ted Bundy and David Berkowitz, the book includes profiles of more obscure killers like Carl Eugene Watts, known as "The Sunday Morning Slasher," who killed 80 women; Richard Chase, the "Vampire of Sacramento"; and Rodney Alcala, believed to have killed between 50 and 130 people between 1971-1979.
