About this ebook
A collection of true crime stories from the Ohio city, with photos included.
In Historic Columbus Crimes, a father-daughter research team looks back at sixteen tales of murder, mystery, and mayhem culled from city history, both the distant and the more recent past.
There’s the rock star slain by a troubled fan; the drag queen slashed to death by a would-be ninja; the writer who died acting out the plot of his next book; the minister’s wife incinerated in the parsonage furnace; and a couple of serial killers who outdid the Son of Sam. Also covered are a gunfight at Broad and High, grave-robbing medical students, and the bloodiest day in FBI history.
Includes photos and illustrations
