The Cases That Haunt Us by John Douglas and Mark Olshaker

This book covers several cases from Jack the Ripper to the still unsolved JonBenet Ramsey murder.
All in all, it was a very interesting book. The author essentially profiles all the crimes scenes to tell us what kind of person could have commited the murders. It's very interesting but I cannot post too much about it without giving it all away.
The first part about Jack the Ripper is slightly confusing, but you get the gist of it. He goes through all the suspects and gives reasons they could have done it and reasons they couldn't have done it. His last suspect, (the person I thought could have done it), fits his profile perfectly. But alas, since it's been over 100 years since the murders, we will never know.
He covers the Lizzie Borden killings, which if anyone has researched it will realize that Lizzie Borden was acquitted of the crime, even though there was plenty of evidence to support that she commited the crimes, but they never found the ax that her mother and father were killed with and without a murder weapon the prosecution kindof falls apart. I know Lizzie killed her parents. There's no doubt about that. But alas, we cannot solve this one either.
The Lindbergh Kidnapping is one I had heard of but never looked into. It was a very interesting read and at the end, I found I agreed with the author on his verdict. The man charged with the kidnapping and killing of the Lindbergh baby was not working alone, but the people and police were satisfied with convicting just one man that they didn't look for the rest of his group. Now, I'm not saying that he didn't do it, but I'm sure that he wasn't working alone. He was a german carpenter named Hauptmann.
The Zodiac Killer. This one could have a post all on it's own. This killer was never identified or caught and all the murders remain unsolved to this day. I am currently looking for a book that covers the Zodiac more than this one did, but I can tell you about it a bit. The Zodiac enjoyed shooting couples in their cars and he usually would go to the passenger side of the car and shoot into the car. One man survived the Zodiacs attempted killing, and described him as being in his early 20's, 200 lbs, 5'8", brown crew cut hair. He wore a rain coat like those in the navy and pleated pants. The Zodiac murders remain unsolved.
This book touches slightly on the Black Dahlia murder and the Boston Strangler.
The ending chapter is about the JonBenet Ramsey murder. It was a hard chapter for me to read as I have a niece thats almost 3, but after debating with myself back and forth, I finally gave in and read it. It was a read that was well worth it. You get details from the case in this chapter that you didn't get in the news reports and, actually, the news reports were quite misleading anyway. They automatically assumed that the parents were responsible, but where she was discovered and how she was discovered was in direct contrast to the profile. I am not going to divulge much of the information from this chapter, but I would suggest that you read this one and make the answers for yourself, but take into account the evidence.
Follow the evidence and make the theories fit the evidence. That's the most important part. People have a tendency to make the evidence fit the theory, but that doesn't work and has led many people to the wrong conclusions. Stick with the evidence and facts.
