mandykool 's review for:
Duct Tape Killer: The True Inside Story of Sexual Sadist & Murderer Robert Leroy Anderson
by Phil Hamman, Sandy Hamman
Such a hard one to rate and review. Especially since this happened in my hometown and there are minuscule degrees of separation between me and this crime.
It’s a story that, like all true crime, needs to be told, especially to remember the lives the perpetrator took and affected. Mothers who had young children ripped away from their families all because one man had a disgusting desire.
It’s so sad.
I rated it 3.5 stars as I feel the authors could have organized the book a bit better. I would have loved also to hear more about how the families moved on afterwards. We hear just a little bit, but I wanted more focus on their lives.
All in all, it’s one of those crimes that I was, I don’t want to say happy, but relieved? To read about what truly happened instead of the urban legends heard growing up.
There’s this creepy road over by John Morrell’s and the Penitentiary where kids often drove around and tried to scare people with the stories of the murders, but knowing the facts debunked all those local urban legends.
