Showing results for "sleep" in True Crime

Friday, 12th February, 1993. Two outwardly unremarkable 10-year-old boys began the day by playing truant and ended it running an errand for the local video shop. In between they abducted and killed a two-year-old boy, James Bulger. In search of an explanation, award-winning journalist David James Smith looks behind the misinformation, misunderstanding and sensational reporting to an exact account of the events of that day. A sensitive and definitive account, The Sleep of Reason achieves a unique understanding of the James Bulger case. 

Ellen Boehm, a single mom from St. Louis, Missouri, appeared devoted to her children. But in reality, she was unequipped for motherhood, financially strapped, and desperate. Within a year of each other, her sons, ages two and four, died mysteriously, and Boehm's eight-year-old daughter then suffered a near-fatal mishap when a hair dryer fell into the girl's bath. While neighbors wondered how Boehm remained so calm through it all, Det. Sgt. Joseph Burgoon of St. Louis Homicide had darker suspicions.

Both had been dead for hours. The only other person who had been in the home was their mother, Julie Schenecker.

Taking a deep dive into the world of true crime from serial killers to unsolved cold cases.

To the world, Linda DeSilva's marriage to Robert Edelman was perfect. He was her college boyfriend turned wealthy and successful husband, and the father of her children. But what friends and family didn't know was that the Texas real estate tycoon who set her up with a luxurious life in Dallas was also her abuser. When she asked him for a divorce, the violence against her only escalated, until the shocking moment she learned her husband had hired an assassin to take her life.

He slipped like a sinister shadow in the night, stalking, then savagely attacking. Most of his unsuspecting targets were shot at close range, and one woman was stabbed over one hundred times. The taunting, bizarre letters alleged killer Heriberto Seda sent to the police and the New York Post were full of strange symbols and mysterious references to the Zodiac. For six terror-filled years, the Zodiac killer ruled the night, claiming nine victims in his homicidal rage. One of the biggest manhunts in New York City's history was unleashed.

THE SLEEP ROOM is a chilling exposé of the bizarre psychiatric treatments inflicted on hundreds of women in the 1960s/70s - among them the actor Celia Imrie, who has been interviewed for the book - by a sinister and charismatic British doctor, William Sargant. Sargant kept his patients asleep for 21 hours a day, before using electro-shock convulsive therapy to "reprogramme" their brains to cure illnesses such as anorexia and schizophrenia. This is the first proper account of a scandal that the medical establishment would rather you didn't know about.
