We all have a morbid side to us if a SK interests us. As a kid I had headlines from the Manson case tacked up to my bedroom wall. The library would give me old issues of the L.A. Times before they were thrown out, mine for the asking. I'm not sure if they were microfilmed first.
I had California road maps as well with locations marked and circled. As an adult I have many SK books in my library and my friends get a laugh out of it, some borrow my books... Who has my Iceman book...?
Mr. Massapequa has taken things to the next level and contacted those SKs who are incarcerated. This is a matter of personal interest, no more no less. Maybe he should write his own book, this actually is how books are written, research is research and nothing beats information gleaned from those involved in an event. Look up case-study and grounded-theory of research methods.
We're all knee-deep in following true crime to one extent or another. I was glad to read your post. My ex thought my penchant for only reading non-fiction crime (and never novels) was a sick and morbid fascination that might lead to me doing something nefarious. In the end it turned out he did. Ya never really know.
