Serial Killer Targeting
A kidnapped baby. A mother’s will to find her. A killer targeting them both.

Five years ago Tina Alvarez was trapped in a sex-trafficking ring. Five years ago she bore a daughter that sold on the black market. But five years didn’t erase her tenacity to get her little girl back … and get even with the ones who took her.

When rookie private investigator Ari Wilburn accepts her first case to find Tina’s long-lost daughter, Ari unravels something bigger than a missing child lead. A serial killer is targeting people close to her, and the key to why—and who—is buried deep in her past. As the investigation puts her in the killer’s crosshairs, Ari must decide between saving herself or guarding her family’s grisly secrets.

But for Ari it’s

    It was January 1974, and the people of Wichita, Kansas were staying up all night, with their guns in their hands, ready for the unthinkable to happen. Four members of the Ortero family had just been brutally murdered in their own home, in the middle of the day. Julie and Joseph, the mother and father, had been found tied at the hands and wrists, strangled, in their bedroom. Beside them lay their nine year old son Joey, who had been murdered the same way. Even after the police discovered their bodies they were still not prepared for what they found in the basement. The Orteros' daughter, Josie, had been stripped and hung from a sewer pipe.

    When thinking of someone to write about I preferred to research a rapist or killer of women. (You could say, “When thinking of someone to write about I prefer to research a murderer that preyed upon women.”) (Also could think about revising this statement to make it smoother) I felt I could relate to these innocent victims because I am a woman myself. The mind of a serial rapist and a murderer is something one that is sane may not be able to comprehend. A serial rapist and murderer that intrigues me is Gary Heidnik. His brutality and the way he showed no apparent remorse is beyond me. It takes someone to really look within the mind of a deranged killer to ever understand them, though I never fully will. It is important to look at all aspects of Heidnik’s life to gain knowledge of his pasts (past) and what made him notorious. For a preview of this notorious serial rapist and murderer this next sentence (the following) explains it all. “ In essence, Gary Heidnik ran a mini-slave colony of African American women in his basement, keep (keeping) them chained, abusing and beating them, and feeding them a blend of dog food and human flesh,” (Philbin & Philbin).…

    One of the most famous questions of all time asks, “Why do serial killers, kill?” Everyone is different in their own way, so no one can really answer that question specifically. Dr. Helen Morrison, author of “My Life Among The Serial Killers” interviewed ten famous serial killers to try to answer this question. She found that almost all of them had similar characteristics besides killing. Unlike what most people believe, she surprisingly found that these characteristics did not include insanity, child abuse, or drug abuse. Instead she explains that their most common trait is that they have an emotional age of an infant. Other characteristics include fluent lying, the lacking ability to comprehend that they did anything wrong, and no memory of the murders however when they do remember they show no mercy.…

    Many victims of human trafficking are brought from one country to another with false documents and names, exemplifying the premeditated nature of human trafficking. “G,” now a free resident in Michigan, was not always free. After her family in Togo, West Africa, fell under financial hardship, her father’s cousin, Joe, in the United States called, offering to house G and enroll her in school in Michigan. G willingly went, but with documents and a passport under a different name. Betrayed by her family, she was used for labor, made to cook and clean and do ridiculous tasks like take apart and power wash the car seats of Joe’s girlfriend’s car. She was physically abused for menial things like forgetting to turn off the television. Other children were brought into the home, and on the outside the group of kids and their captors looked like a functioning family. Neighbors and friends were lied to about the children’s true origins. The physical abuse, isolation, and workload ended when Joe threw her out for refusing to talk about her college classes and a nearby family took her end. Joe was eventually arrested and given eleven and a half years jail…
