Bogeyman by Steve Jackson


Paperback:  For years, he'd stalked elementary schools and playgrounds looking for young girls from low-income neighbourhoods to abduct, rape and murder.  He thought of them as "throwaway kids" - hardly missed, and soon forgotten, except by those who loved them.  He was every parent's worst nightmare.  The bogeyman they warned their children about, the fiend who lurked in the shadows outside of bedroom windows.

A WildBlue Press original true crime story from the New York Times bestselling author of Monster (2013) and No Stone Unturned (2002), Bogeyman (2014) describes in dramatic detail and with heart-rending poignancy the efforts of tenacious Texas lawmen to solve the cold case murders of three little girls and hold their killer, David E Penton, one of the most horrific serial child-killers in US history, accountable for his horrific crimes.

Penton remains behind bars in Ohio.  He is up for parole in 2027, but if it is granted, he would be extradited to Texas to serve time for the three murders.
