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.

DEADLY SINS is the chilling true story of Father Hans Schmidt, the enigmatic thirty-two-year-old Roman Catholic priest, who immigrates to America through Ellis Island in June of 1909, from the Bavarian town of Aschaffenburg, Germany. Father Schmidt leaves behind his past transgressions, only to discover in America-new depths to which his depravity and inner demons will lead him. Surrendering to his deep-rooted licentious urges, the priest betrays his holy vows, begins a secret affair, and falls in love with the tempestuous Anna Aumüller, a nineteen-year-old housekeeper at New York City's St. Boniface Church rectory. Now pregnant, and scared, the priest's young lover threatens to expose his mortal sins, and more. Not only has Father Schmidt fallen from grace, he and his lover, dentist, Bruce Murrell are also at the head of a New York City counterfeiting ring turning out ten and twenty-dollar-bills. In a deranged dusk-till-dawn odyssey, the priest turns to past habits for a solution: bloody murder, dismemberment, and the cold-blackish waters of the Hudson River; as Anna's trust in Hans turns out to be lethal. The psychotic acts of this desperate killer on an early fall evening in 1913, lead New York City's Chief Inspector Joseph Faurot, clue by clue, to a Harlem church and Father Hans Schmidt. The priest's apparitions and crimes ultimately lead him to Old Sparky, the electric chair at New York's Sing Sing Prison, and infamy, as Father Hans Schmidt becomes the only Catholic priest executed in United States history.

A chilling account of a turn-of-the-century child murder in Kentucky, the ensuing manhunt, trial, and verdict that remains questionable to this day. On a bitterly cold day in December 1909, eight-year-old Alma Kellner simply disappeared from the altar of St. John’s Church in Louisville. Her body was found months later near the site of the church, and news of the murder rocked the city. The manhunt for the suspect took Louisville police Cpt. John Carney eleven thousand miles across the country, and even to South America, to return the killer to justice. Author Shawn M. Herron details the fascinating story of a tragedy that still remains under a cloud of suspicion. Includes photos

Ever wonder what evil lurks in your hometown? Spine-Chilling Murders in the Northeast takes you behind the scenes of some old-time killings in New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and more. Joseph Elwell, the Whist Wizard of Manhattan, was shot to death in his home overnight on June 11, 1920. Roy Harris, an aspiring novelist, confessed to the crime, but it soon turned out to be nothing more than a publicity stunt to help sell his new book. Louise Lawson led a double life. The folks back home in Walnut Springs, Texas, knew her as a shy young girl aspiring to a big-time musical career. Her friends in New York knew her as a Broadway Butterfly, one of those kept girls who lived in a fancy apartment. When she was found dead in 1918, it turned out she was the victim of a gang that targeted the working girls of New York. Marie Williams (aka Boots) was the prettiest girl ever arrested in West Virginia. She told police that she, and her boyfriend, Peter Treadwell, were in the room when Henry Pierce was murdered, but they did not have anything to do with the crime. The police wanted to believe her, but... When nineteen-year-old Avis Linnell turned up dead at the Y. M. C. A. in Boston, suspicion quickly fell on her fiance, Reverend Clarence V. T. Richeson. The Boston Globe said Richeson had a "soft" and "musical" voice, almost too much for a girl to resist. It didn't help the Reverend any that he was carrying on with Avis, while he announced his upcoming marriage to wealthy Boston socialite, Violet Edmands. Pretty Josephine Amore killed her neighbor/lover Michael Martelle in Newark, New Jersey, in August 1908. Martelle kissed her and threatened to harm her family unless she ran away with him. "I got me a great big gun," said Josephine, "and killed him." Detectives didn't believe her for a minute. They were convinced her husband, Carmine Amore, was the killer, but could never quite pin the killing on him. Alfred Morrison shot his wife in his sleep and told police he didn't know anything about it. He was lost in a dreamlike state much like Walter Mitty. The newspapers quickly labeled him the Mount Vernon Dream Killer. Hans Schmidt, a New York Priest, became known as the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Killer after he murdered Anna Aumuller and scattered her dismembered remains in the North River. He told detectives he tasted her blood first, then when she was dead dragged her body into the bathroom and carved it up. George White, a man of color, was arrested for sexually assaulting and murdering seventeen-year-old Helen S. Bishop in Wilmington Delaware in June 1903. A mob broke him out of the Castle County Work House as guards stood by and did nothing to stop them. White was dragged out into the woods and burned alive. All he could say in his defense was, "You would not have done this if I was a white man." Read them if you dare!

Winner, 2017 Ragsdale Award A timely study that puts current issues—religious intolerance, immigration, the separation of church and state, race relations, and politics—in historical context. The masthead of the Liberator, an anti-Catholic newspaper published in Magnolia, Arkansas, displayed from 1912 to 1915 an image of the Whore of Babylon. She was an immoral woman sitting on a seven-headed beast, holding a golden cup “full of her abominations,” and intended to represent the Catholic Church. Propaganda of this type was common during a nationwide surge in antipathy to Catholicism in the early twentieth century. This hostility was especially intense in largely Protestant Arkansas, where for example a 1915 law required the inspection of convents to ensure that priests could not keep nuns as sexual slaves. Later in the decade, anti-Catholic prejudice attached itself to the campaign against liquor, and when the United States went to war in 1917, suspicion arose against German speakers—most of whom, in Arkansas, were Roman Catholics. In the 1920s the Ku Klux Klan portrayed Catholics as “inauthentic” Americans and claimed that the Roman church was trying to take over the country’s public schools, institutions, and the government itself. In 1928 a Methodist senator from Arkansas, Joe T. Robinson, was chosen as the running mate to balance the ticket in the presidential campaign of Al Smith, a Catholic, which brought further attention. Although public expressions of anti-Catholicism eventually lessened, prejudice was once again visible with the 1960 presidential campaign, won by John F. Kennedy. Anti-Catholicism in Arkansas illustrates how the dominant Protestant majority portrayed Catholics as a feared or despised “other,” a phenomenon that was particularly strong in Arkansas.

In the midst of gangland activities during the Roaring Twenties, a thief plagued the New York City area by breaking into people's homes and stealing radios, possibly the costliest thing a family could own. Not only did the crimes deprive families of property and security, but they also resulted in the injuries of three NYPD officers and the death of officer Arthur Kenney. Based on interviews and trial transcripts, this book documents the search for the Radio Burglar, which turned into a wide-spread manhunt. Initially perplexed by the case, authorities eventually overcame great odds to achieve a conviction that has received praise in the following decades. But nine years later, the devastating effect on his family and friends of Arthur Kenney's loss was prolonged when they were involved in a second murder trial that riveted the attention of the city and country.

This fascinating and timely book traces the emergence and evolution of cybercrime as an increasingly intransigent threat to society. Cybercrime: Criminal Threats from Cyberspace is intended to explain two things: what cybercrime is and why the average citizen should care about it. To accomplish that task, the book offers an overview of cybercrime and an in-depth discussion of the legal and policy issues surrounding it. Enhancing her narrative with real-life stories, author Susan W. Brenner traces the rise of cybercrime from mainframe computer hacking in the 1950s to the organized, professional, and often transnational cybercrime that has become the norm in the 21st century. She explains the many different types of computer-facilitated crime, including identity theft, stalking, extortion, and the use of viruses and worms to damage computers, and outlines and analyzes the challenges cybercrime poses for law enforcement officers at the national and international levels. Finally, she considers the inherent tension between improving law enforcement's ability to pursue cybercriminals and protecting the privacy of U.S. citizens.
