It’s the summer holiday season, a time usually associated with sunshine and happiness. For the Walters family from Nottingham a trip to beautiful Argyllshire in the summer of 1978 should have been a joy. Instead, the stunning surroundings of their hotel at Tarbert became the backdrop for a murder investigation. The victim: their 14-year-old daughter Linda-Jayne. Read “Scotland’s Classic Cases – Madman In The Gardens!” for the full story.

“MD Forum – The Butcher Of Kansas City” takes us back to the mid-80s and into the twisted world of kidnapper and torture-killer Robert Berdella. His ambition was to make his darkest fantasies a reality.

Finally, don’t miss the latest instalment of “The Whitechapel Murders” in this issue. How did no one hear Annie Chapman’s slaying?

* My Killer, My Mom
* European Crime Report: “‘Serial Killer Next Door To The Vatican,” “A Busy Night For A Killer,” “The Girl With Two Boyfriends,” “Is This Wife-Killer The Butcher Of Mons?”
