Charles Schmid
On May 31, 1964, fifteen-year-old Alleen Rowe is killed by Charles Schmid in the desert outside Tucson, Arizona.

Schmid dubbed “The Pied Piper of Tucson” went on to kill three other teenage girls before being caught by police.
Known as one of the greatest madmen in history, Adolf Hitler was one of life's pathetic losers - a school dunce, a failed artist, a sexual impotent, a sociopathic racist and a drug addict suffering from both manic depression and Parkinsson's disease. But was he also a pedophile? Hitler had “sexual contact” with only a handful of women throughout his life. Five of the women attempted suicide and four of them succeeded.
During the WW II, American psychiatrists labeled him a “schizophrenic” and “psychopath”. Winston Churchill wanted to borrow an electric chair so he could be “executed like a common criminal” in Britain.
But what is the truth about the man behind the dictator's mask?

On the night of November 29, 1988, near the impoverished Marlborough neighborhood in south Kansas City, an explosion at a construction site killed six of the city’s firefighters. It was a clear case of arson, and five people from Marlborough were duly convicted of the crime. But for veteran crime writer and crusading editor J. Patrick O’Connor, the facts—or a lack of them—didn’t add up.
