Driven To Kill
\nby Gary C. King
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Aimee’s review:<\/p>\n

“[It’s] the story of Westley Allan Dodd, hanged by the state of Washington on January 5, 1993 for the rapes and murders of three little boys. It was very good. Very, very sad. Also horrifying, as it had lengthy excerpts from Dodd’s ‘murder diary’ where he jotted down his fantasies of torture, rape and murder. He referred several times to ‘surgical experiments’ and had copied diagrams of the male reproductive system from an encyclopedia, and had actually built a ‘torture rack’ out of wood with ropes attached to the corners. Also chilling because Dodd had a history of progressively more aggressive sex offenses against young boys going back to the age of about 13 or 14, but as I recall he only served four months in jail at the most, and they didn’t keep careful track of him or notify anybody when he would move. He vowed he would escape and kill again if he wasn’t hanged. We’re well rid of him, in other words.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sounds engrossing to me! To the ‘Wish List’ with you!<\/p>\n
