Trace Evidence
Archival Summary & Scope
Bruce Henderson's *Trace Evidence* meticulously unravels the harrowing true story of the "Interstate 5" sex-strangler murders. Drawing on exclusive interviews with key investigators and the killer's wife, Henderson details a cunning predator who long eluded authorities. After an escaped victim finally identified him, police secured an assault conviction but lacked evidence for murder. With the killer slated for an imminent release, investigators raced against time to build an airtight case. This chilling account delves into the psychological complexities of an unrepentant serial killer—whose brother was a homicide detective—while also critiquing how political and budgetary constraints threatened to derail justice.Categorization Notes
