Shadows of Evil (True Crime (St. Martin's Paperbacks)) Book

Claiming he'd been sent by God to confess, truck driver Wayne Adam Ford walked into the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office and admitted to them that he was a serial killer. After police found a gruesome piece of evidence in Ford's pocket, he told them that he had to be stopped before he killed again, before he murdered his ex-wife, and made his beloved 3-year-old son an orphan. Authorities arrested the long-haul trucker and listened in horror to his startling confession...Ford was a long-distance trucker who had traveled 14 Western states. Prowling the highways in his big rig tractor-trailer, he picked up young, vulnerable women and then raped, killed, and dismembered them. He scattered some of their bodies in waterways along the road. He kept parts of others for over a year in the freezer of his trailer home.
