Errata edit
In the section devoted to the Atlanta Child Murders, the author of THE LIST, a book on the subject, is called "Dave" Dettlinger. In the bibliography, the author is called "Cher" Dettlinger. The correct first name of the author is Chet.
In the section called "Detroit Murders," one of the victims is called Helen Conniff. Her correct first name is Hazel. Although the author makes clear elsewhere that he is aware of Coral Eugene Watts, he does not seem to know that she, and fellow Detroit-area victim Linda Monteiro, were both killed by Watts. He also states in the section on "Mythical Murders" that the Sunday Morning Slasher case in Ann Arbor was solved with the capture of Watts in Houston. It was not; the cases are still considered unsolved, although Watts is the only promising suspect named by area police.
