AN ANTHOLOGY OF TRUE CRIME OCCURRING INSIDE THE CHURCHKILLER PRIEST HANS SCHMIDTFor some people, the Catholic church has always been a place of respite. A place to practice their faith, and to commune with God. For others, the Catholic church has always been at the center of conspiracy and secrets. The Catholic church has always tried to keep the scandals that fall under their watchful eye under wraps, and for good reason. Many of them are so horrific that people would demand an overhaul of the entire system, for the safety of the victims. Of course, the scandals and conspiracies of the Catholic church date way, way back. For some, they are much more recent: in the last hundred years, or so.Many people have different experiences with the Catholic church, that much is for sure. Despite the scandals, there can be no way to definitively say whether it's the church itself, or the bad apples that are drawn to it for the positions of power they can take up. For those who met with Hans B. Schmidt, a German Roman Catholic priest, their experience with the Catholic church would be their last. GOD TOLD ME TOGwen Hendricks was a seemingly normal Colorado housewife who began hearing voices telling her to kill her husband. With a childhood steeped in religious teaching, Gwen began keeping a journal of her daily conversations with God who she claims told her that she needed to kill her husband in order to obtain proceeds from his life insurance.MORMON KILLERSWith childhoods steeped in the teachings of the Mormon religion, both Israel Keyes and Arthur Gary Bishop would become some of the sickest serial killers in American history. Keyes criss-crossed the country during his reign of terror, killing both men and women. His true death count is unknown as he committed suicide before revealing any further information. Bishop was the archetypal child molester, luring young boys with promises of candy and toys. Like Keyes, his true victim count is unknown.

Details the murder of the pregnant wife of a secretly married priest, Father Hans Schmidt, a German immigrant, in 1913 New York City. Knowing his secret life would soon be exposed, on "the night of September 2, 1913, he cut Anna's throat, dismembered her body, and threw the parts into the Hudson River. The body was discovered, however, and Schmidt was arrested and charged with murder ... The case proved a spectacle for the media and captured the imagination of the City. Not only did Father Schmidt kill his young, pregnant bride, but further investigation proved he had a second apartment where he had set up a printing press and counterfeited $10 bills. In Louisville, [Kentucky], the dismembered body of a missing nine-year-old girl was found buried in the basement of St. John's church, where Schmidt had previously worked. In addition, German police wanted to talk to Father Schmidt about a murdered girl in his hometown. Though he was never charged, it was strongly suspected that Father Schmidt committed these murders as well."--Jacket.

Joe Morgan thought he had done his time. A New York cop for forty years, he was going to take it easy from now on. But it's hard to ignore a serial killer on your own doorstep. Harder still, if you suspect that person to be someone who should represent the epitome of righteousness, and not the depravity of pure evil. A sultry summer in Queens, and a maniac is on the loose. Joe, driven by his own demons, is determined to catch him. What he does not bargain on, though, is the extent to which such demons are pursuing the killer himself. The Killer Priest takes the reader on a fast-paced, compulsive journey through the seedy underbelly of New York, leaving them with one question: who are the bad guys?

In 1980 in Toledo, Ohio—on one of the holiest days of the church calendar—the body of a nun was discovered in the sacristy of a hospital chapel. Seventy-one-year-old Sister Margaret Ann had been strangled and stabbed, her corpse arranged in a shameful and stomach-churning pose. But the police's most likely suspect was inexplicably released and the investigation was quietly buried. Despite damning evidence, Father Gerald Robinson went free. Twenty-three years later the priest's name resurfaced in connection with a bizarre case of satanic ritual and abuse. It prompted investigators to exhume the remains of the slain nun in search of the proof left behind that would indelibly mark Father Robinson as Sister Margaret Ann's killer: the sign of the Devil. When Satan Wore a Cross is a shocking true story of official cover-ups, madness, murder and lies—and of an unholy human monster who disguised himself in holy garb.

The Catholic Church is known for sweeping everything under the rug and keeping their secrets from coming out. In the 1990s, the public finally found out about the sexual abuse that was predominant in this religious institution. Having in mind that they managed to cover up numerous cases throughout the decades, it shouldn't come as a surprise that they also concealed a murder which shocked a small town of McAllen in 1960. Religious people from this area refused to believe that a priest was capable of such a thing, and the police had almost no evidence. The case went cold, and it collected dust for decades, waiting for someone to start talking. And luckily, one person decided to tell the investigators everything.

In this unique and compelling true-crime story, journalist and author David Yonke presents and analyzes the only case in U.S. history in which a Roman Catholic priest was arrested for the murder of a nun. Father Gerald Robinson of Toledo, whom friends and associates described as a timid and mild-mannered man, was arrested by cold-case detectives in April, 2004, and charged in the brutal slaying of Sister Margaret Ann Pahl 24 years earlier. The 71-year-old nun had been choked to the edge of death, covered with an altar cloth, and stabbed 31 times in the face, neck and chest. Her body was found in the sacristy of a Catholic hospital, her habit pulled up to her chest and her undergarments around her ankles. It was Holy Saturday morning, 1980, the day before Easter and the day before the victim’s 72nd birthday. Cold-case investigators said the first nine stab wounds, made over the nun’s heart, were in the shape of an upside down cross, one of many signs that Sister Margaret Ann was the victim of a ritual killing. "Sin, Shame & Secrets" unveils how cold-case investigators decided to reopen the case in 2003 after a Toledo nun testified that Father Robinson abused her in satanic rituals when she was a child. The nun's testimony before the Toledo Catholic Diocese's Review Board also alleged that a number of children had been killed by the cult. A lengthy police investigation followed, resulting in Robinson's arrest at age 66 on April 23, 2004. After a three-week trial, covered gavel-to-gavel by Court TV (now truTV), the priest was convicted of murder on May 11, 2006 and sentenced to 15 years to life in prison. * * * Yonke, the award-winning former Religion Editor and reporter at The Toledo Blade, reviewed hundreds of police files, interviewed dozens of principles, and covered every minute of the trial to give readers a thorough and examined look at events as they unfolded, as well as providing background information for the story and the people involved. * * * In Robinson’s legal appeals, the killer priest claimed that his trial attorneys failed to examine the possibility that another hospital chaplain — one with a drinking problem, a bad temper, and a knife collection — may have been the real murderer. Robinson also alleged that Coral Eugene Watts, a confessed serial killer who strangled and stabbed up to 80 women, was living an hour north of Toledo in 1980 and may have been the perpetrator. The story has been covered by news media around the world and featured on many nationally broadcast television programs. Although Robinson's appeals were denied by the Ohio Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court, public debate and controversy continue to swirl in this timeless and shocking case. * * * Nancy Grace, talk show host former prosecutor: "Carefully detailing her murder, Yonke describes not only the search for a killer, but the struggle for all of us including both the Toledo police and the Catholic Church, to accept that evil exists everywhere around us, even within the house of God." Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Michael Sallah called it "a murder case for the ages," adding that "Yonke deftly shows how an American Catholic diocese kept one of its own from being charged for more than a quarter century." Father Thomas Doyle, JCD, CADC, commented: "This is not just another murder mystery. It is a true story that enrages, mystifies and terrifies any reader with even a modicum of moral awareness." Barbara Blaine, founder of SNAP, said: "Through painstaking research and gripping narrative, David Yonke presents and analyzes a stunning case of physical, emotional, and sexual pain and the political corruption that kept a horrific crime unsolved for years." Pulitzer Prize-winner Mitch Weiss called it "an explosive piece of investigative journalism."

This novel is a partially fictionized account of the murder of Dorothy Polulach, a well off widow who was found shot to death in her southside Chicago home in Februrary of 1981. Mrs Polulach was the widow of George Polulach, a wealthy landowner. Dorothy was his second wife. By his first wife, who he divorced about ten years before the murder, he had one daughter, Anne Wolters who lived in Fort Lauderdale Florida with her husband Wayne and her mother. It is vital to understand the case that Mrs. Polulach was paranoid about possible robberies and burglaries and so set up a very complicated burglar alarm system in her home. Every door and window contained two or even three burglar alarms, making the home a virtual impregnable castle. George Polulach committed suicide the year before Dorothy's murder. At his wake, his daughter Anne found out to her chagrin that her father left the bulk of his wealth to his wife, leaving Anne just a pittance. Anne was further angered because she refused to believe that her father committed suicide. She thought that her stepmother Dorothy had something to do with George's death.
