OVER THE EDGE

Paperback. He butchered an innocent mother and her baby to hide his secrets. D.A. Robert Macy said it was the worst crime he'd ever seen. The body of 29yr. old Melody Sue Wuertz, a hospital ward clerk, had been viciously mutilated - a satanic symbol carved into her bare stomach. Her murdered 11-month-old baby lay nearby. But it was the man who became the prime suspect that stunned the citizens of Edmond. He was Jimmie Ray Slaughter, army veteran, a trusted Oklahoma City nurse - and devoted family man. Yet there was also Slaughter the avowed Satanist, who seduced scores of innocent young women. His motive for the murder of Wuertz and her baby was as horrific as the killings themselves: Wuertz had been one of Slaughter's lovers; the slain infant was his own flesh and blood. A story of black magic, sordid sex, and shocking brutality. With 8pp. of photographs. 312pp. mass market p/back. From the library of true-crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Nr. F. with no creasing to covers.
