<div>The twelve-year rampage of &ldquo;Missoula Mauler&rdquo; Wayne Nance&mdash;and the shocking end to his murder spree To his neighbors, Wayne Nance, a furniture mover from Missoula, Montana, appeared to be an affable, considerate, and trustworthy guy. No one knew that Nance was the &ldquo;Missoula Mauler,&rdquo; a psychopath responsible for a series of sadistic sex slayings that rocked the idyllic town between 1974 and 1986. Nance&rsquo;s only requirement for murder was accessibility&mdash;a preacher&rsquo;s wife, a teenage runaway, a female acquaintance, a married couple. Putting on a friendly fa&ccedil;ade, he could easily gain his victims&rsquo; trust. Then, one September night, thirty-year-old Nance pushed his luck, preying on a couple who lived to tell the tale. A true story with an incredible twist, written by former Wall Street Journal editor John Coston and complete with photos, To Kill and Kill Again reveals the disturbing compulsions of a charming serial killer who fooled everyone he knew, stumped the authorities, terrified a community, and nearly got away with it. </div>

To Kill and Kill Again

<div>The dark double life of Ellen Boehm, the mother who murdered her two sons&mdash;and nearly killed her daughter. Ellen Boehm, a single mom from St. Louis, Missouri, appeared devoted to her children. But in reality, she was unequipped for motherhood, financially strapped, and desperate. Within a year of each other, her sons, ages two and four, died mysteriously, and Boehm&rsquo;s eight-year-old daughter then suffered a near-fatal mishap when a hair dryer fell into the girl&rsquo;s bath. While neighbors wondered how Boehm remained so calm through it all, Det. Sgt. Joseph Burgoon of St. Louis Homicide had darker suspicions. Burgoon soon unraveled a labyrinth of deception, greed, and obsession that revealed a cold-blooded killer whose get-rich-quick scheme came at the cost of her children&rsquo;s lives. Boehm had taken out insurance policies on her children with six different companies totaling nearly $100,000. Using police reports, case documents, and photos, journalist John Coston recreates the events that led to one mother&rsquo;s unspeakable acts of filicide&mdash;and a cop&rsquo;s relentless pursuit of the truth. </div>
