Murder in Washington: Notorious Crime Sites: The Topography of Evil

By Marques Vickers

Murder in Washington: Notorious Crime Sites is a visual return to over one hundred infamous murder scenes profiling the shocking and detailed narratives behind each tragedy.

The State of Washington has been the residence of three internationally prominent serial killers including Ted Bundy, Gary Ridgway (The Green River Killer), Kenneth Bianchi (Hillside Strangler) and Lee Boyd Malvo (DC Sniper). Many of the narratives defy believability, yet they are true. Long after the screaming headlines and sensationalism has subsided, these bizarre, infamous and obscure murder sites and stories remain buried awaiting rediscovery.

The Murder in Washington edition is segmented into eight categories including assassinations, historical legacies, premeditated homicides, chance encounters and impulse killings, law enforcement fatalities and controversies, unsolved murders, rampage and serial killers.

The edition provides the precise location of each crime site, fatality victims, perpetrators and for those still living, the penal institution where they are incarcerated.
