The LaSalle Street Murders
Open Letter to Visitors
Dear Visitors:

Murder is something that no one ever gets over.

The pain of losing someone you love – to  murder – stays with you forever.

I not only SOLVED a triple murder, I was almost a murder victim myself.                
I had a five-year relationship with a man who was diagnosed by a criminal psychologist as a serial killer.  He was a man that the police considered savage, brutal, cunning, and dangerous.   I had to overcome a lot of obstacles in order to endure this dangerous relationship I had with him.

Recently, I almost died. I nearly bled to death.  When I arrived in the emergency room, I lost consciousness.  I fell flat on my face on the floor of the hospital lobby.  I was gravely ill – it was a miracle I didn’t die right there.

I spent the next seven days in intensive care, hanging onto life.  I had a large tube snaked down my nose with lots of equipment and machines keeping me alive.  I floated in and out of consciousness.

When I left the hospital, my doctor told me I was healed.  “Go Home and Live a Normal Life.”

When he said those words, I burned inside.  I knew I had a mission to accomplish.   I knew I had to tell the world my story.
                    
I had to tell everyone how I had solved the greatest serial killings in Indiana history; how I put a serial killer behind bars and what a dangerous journey I had endured to accomplish this.  I had to share with everyone how I had overcome – escaping death itself.
                    
My book is now complete.  The reason I produced my story and this website is for personal reasons.  It was not only for your entertainment, but it was created because I want to help all of you out there who are hurting, wounded and grieving over a senseless murder.  You are also victims.  Even if you are just fascinated with murder – I want to encourage you today.  Hopefully, my story will help you – as you enjoy my book and understand how I overcame one of the most sensational murder cases in our country’s history.  
                  
The interviews, articles and information you will read are purely opinion and the basis of my investigations.  They do not reflect the opinions or views of the Police or Sheriff’s Departments.
