Synopsis

In 1991, flight attendant Nancy Ludwig checked in to an airport hotel near Detroit. The next morning she was found gagged, raped, and tortured—her throat slit with such rage that she was nearly decapitated. Her husband Arthur never gave up hope that the future would bring enough evidence to close the case. But it was the past that held the clue.In 1985, fifty-five-year-old Margarette Eby, a music professor, met the same grisly death at her cottage in Flint, Michigan. The case went cold—until six years later when the victim’s son Mark came upon the story of Nancy Ludwig’s slaying. With nothing to go on but intuition, he called authorities, certain that the same fiend committed both crimes.A cunning sting operation yielded irrefutable DNA evidence, and authorities were led to the home of respected navy veteran Jeffrey Gorton living quietly with his wife and two children. But his cold-blooded secrets were only beginning to come to light, leaving fears that there were more victims yet to be found in a killing spree that had finally come to an end. Blood Justice shows veteran reporter and author Tom Henderson at the top of his game.

This was a fascinating read about DNA and how it helped get Jeffrey Gordon off the street. This man sounds frightening because the man and do ordinary, secretive, and random guy who attacked women for their underwear (slips, bras, panties, and panty hoses were all taken). I'm glad he's in prison for......more

I just came upon this book and although it says on goodreads I did not read this book I knew immediately I did read it. Probably one of the books I have read when my kindle died on me.

In 1896, Margarette Eby, a college professor suffered a rape-murder. In 1991, Nancy Ludwig, a flight attendant, suffered the same type of rape-murder. The perpetrator was never found until years later. With the advance of DNA, computer, and other technologies, passionate investigators took up the col......more

Goodreads review by Fishface on July 03, 2016

A gripping, pretty dire read about some horrible crimes and the long search for answers by police, family and friends. This book was much grimmer for me because I live so close to where it all happened and I remember when it hit the news that Nancy Ludwig's killing had been linked to another crime.......more

She was found the next morning by housekeeping, bound and stabbed in the bed. Nancy had also been se......more
