FATAL JOURNEY His twisted obsession took an innocent woman on a deadly detour

Paperback. "Monster!" That's the word people in Klamath Falls, Oregon, used to describe Jesse Pratt. The would-be macho trucker and sometime pimp was so threatening, even his own mother was terrified of him. Obsessed with his pretty, 20yr old secretary, Carrie Love, Pratt alternately charmed and stalked her. When she resisted his advances, he forced the young girl to accompany him on a business trip, where he raped her, then brutally stabbed her to death. But that wasn't all. To hide her identity, he ran over her body with his tractor/trailer. What the cold-blooded killer didn't know was that he had provided forensic scientists with enough evidence to put him on death row. Using meticulous analysis, gathering the tiniest of clues, a top team of detectives put together a case against Jesse Pratt, one extraordinary puzzle piece at a time. This is a chilling account of a horrific crime and a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the remarkable science of forensics, where every fibre, every fingerprint tells a story. Illus. with 16pp, of photos. 350pp. p/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. V. lightly browned edges o/w Nr. F. with no creasing to covers.
