From the research presented in the book you can tell that Rasmusen spent hours upon hours researching the facts surrounding the horrific murders he describes and draws together as the result of one (or possibly two) madman. Rasmussen graphically depicts the events leading up to the murders, photos included. For most of the occurances there is but a thin fine line that connects one man. Like the spindles that make up a spiders web the lines are not always precise or obvious but they are strong and binding. I have recommended this book to my friends and family with a disclaimer: leave the nightlite on.

Woven together in Corroborating Evidence is a compelling case that multiple unsolved high profile murders are linked to one man. It's a book for all those interested in true crimes that the police could not solve but fresh detective work, with the help of father time, point a finger towards the likely suspect.

Corroborating Evidence is an informative text that sheds new light on very famous unsolved crimes. Mr. Rasmussen elequently ties together several murders and points to one clear suspect...Jack Anderson Wilson. Wilson had all of the characteristics of a mentally unstable lust-killer.
Mr. Rasmussen presents the most plausible explanation for the deaths of the Black Dahlia, Georgette Bauerdorf, the Cleveland Torso Victims, Suzanne Degnan and other individuals. This was the best true crime book I have ever read!!!

Rasmussen attempts to pin just about every murder in the U.S. between 1930 and 1950 on one man, Jack Anderson Wilson. Before his unexpected death Jack Wilson was undoubtedly the most promising suspect in the 1947 Los Angeles murder of Elizabeth Short-"The Black Dahlia". Rasmussen attempts to show that Wilson may also have been responsible for the Cleveland Torso Murders in 1930's, three Chicago murders in the late 1940's(for which Wlliam Heirens was convicted), five murders in New Castle, Pennsylvania in the early 1940's, and six other LA murders in the late 1940's. In presenting his opinions and inferences Rasmussen makes hollow comparisons between the facts in each murder or string of murders. The worst of which being the fact that Jack A. Wilson once carried a candy box, held closed with rubbers bands, to a meeting with an informant to discuss the Black Dahlia Murder, while in the Cleveland Torso Murders one of the victims' legs were found bound together with rubber bands. In presenting his argument Rasmussen makes leaps in reasoning the likes of which I have not read since Lee Strobel. The one star is given for Rasmussen's bringing together facts from various cases clearly and concisely. His inferences are worth less.

WILLIAMS PAINSTAKING RESEARCH AND CLEVER INVESTIGATING HAS TRULY PAID OFF.
IT SEEMS THERE WAS ONLY ONE KILLER,
ONE PREDATOR,
ONE NAME
AND ACCORDING TO WILLIAM RASMUSSEN'S COOPERATING EVIDENCE
IT IS NOT
THE MAN WHO IS SERVING TIME IN PRISON.
THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ FOR TRUE CRIME BUFFS AND MYSTERY LOVERS ALIKE.
IT READS AS IF IT WERE HOT OFF THE CHICAGO PRESS IN 1946.
YOU FEEL AS IF YOU HAVE TAKEN A TRIP BACK IN TIME TO THE ORIGINAL CRIME SCENES, FROM L.A TO CHICAGO TO OHIO.
I HAVE ONLY ONE QUESTION?
WHEN IS YOUR NEXT BOOK COMING OUT WILLIAM RASMUSSEN??
