COLD STORAGE The True Story of California's Gruesome Ice Box Killer

Paperback. Denise Huber was missing for 3yrs. The nightmare began the day she was found. On June 3, 1991, an abandoned car was found on a busy stretch of highway near Newport Beach, California. Its owner, Denise Huber, seemed to have vanished off the face of the earth. For 3yrs her disappearance remained a mystery, inspiring one of the most intensive missing-persons searches in history. All to no avail. Because the only man who knew what happened to Denise wasn't talking. He wasn't through with her yet. On July 13, 1994, in an affluent suburb of Prescott, Arizona, a padlocked truck parked in the driveway of 37yr old John Famalaro provoked suspicion. When authorities finally pried open its doors, they found the nude, handcuffed corpse of Denise Huber stuffed into a freezer - preserved forever in the throes of death. Inside Famalaro's home were Denise's personal belongings, along with neatly arranged "trophies" of other female prey. But it was the revelations at Famalaro's trial that would truly stagger the imagination, laying bare the terrifying details of Denise's final hours, and exposing the dark past of a merciless killer consumed by perversity and unfathomable evil. From the unforgettable crime to the relentless manhunt, from the sensational trial to the startling aftermath, the book will chill even the most seasoned true-crime aficionado to the bone. Illus. with 12pp. of photos. + Epilogue. 403pp. p/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. F. with no creasing to covers.
