I am in the middle of reading a new non-fiction book that has just been released.  "Raised by a Serial Killer" by April Balascio.  The author's father was the notorious serial killer Edward Wayne Edwards.  It goes through her childhood and all the mysterious things that she did not understand at the time.  For instance they moved all over the USA.  State after state they would move...after people in the area disappeared. For example they were in Ohio and two teens go missing and they father said "let's move to Florida".  Then in Florida two kids go missing and he moves the family again. Then in Wisconsin two teen go missing and the family moves again.  You get the idea. But she was a child and did not put two and two together.  Right now I am up to where she is 17 years old.  The book is interesting and scary.  I am waiting for my Kindle to charge up so I can finish.

Re: "Raised by a Serial Killer"

I just purchased this book yesterday and I haven’t bought a book in years! It just sounded so intriguing to me. I just need to finish the book. I’m reading now which I’m about halfway through and then I’m gonna dig in.

Greta Van Susteren had an interview (2 nights) with the author of this book. I felt sorry for her, but not for him. Never for him. And moving his family out of town every time he killed someone-maybe that was a bit suspicious??

Re: "Raised by a Serial Killer"

I was under the impression that a documentary was made.  I saw something like this on the crime channels.

 

For the life of me, I can't ever understand why anyone would turn out to be a serial killer. 

from what you've written abou that person, they KEW they were doing wrong but didn't want to be caught so he moved away with his family.  The wife must have suspected something was odd.
