The story of a musical prodigy turned serial killer-including his shocking confession-is exposed in the L.A. Times bestselling author's true crime classic.
To the outside world, Anthony Allen Shore was an average guy: a twice-divorced father who drove a tow truck in suburban Houston. But in his mind he was a superstar. A musical prodigy who never realized his potential, Shore decided to outsmart society by getting away with murder. And he wanted the whole world to know it. After brutally killing a sixteen-year-old girl, he told the local NBC affiliate precisely where to find her body.
Eight years passed before DNA evidence caught up with Shore. Subsequent police investigations revealed a violent megalomaniac who had sexually abused his own daughters. He confessed to murdering four females, one only nine years old. And he hinted at many more-leading authorities to suspect he might be the notorious "I-45 Serial Killer." In Strangler, bestselling author Corey Mitchell recounts the case from its twisted beginnings to its chilling conclusion.
