New York Times bestselling author and award-winning investigative journalist Caitlin Rother returns with an updated version of her book Body Parts, now titled, Body Parts: A Serial Killer's Deadly Compulsions, more than ten years after the publication of the story of Wayne Adam Ford. This upcoming release includes shocking new details about the identity of Ford's first victim.
When Ford contacts his brother Rodney and asks him to meet him at the rustic cabin where he is staying, Rodney has no idea what is about to unfold. Wayne tells him that he "hurt some people," and begs for his brother's help. They walk into the local sheriff's office where Wayne explains to the sergeant that he doesn't want to hurt anyone anymore. The gruesome contents of his jacket pocket lead to his arrest and an investigation involving four California counties where Ford ends up being tried and convicted for the torture and murder of four women, including his first victim, who would remain unidentified for 25 years.
With Body Parts, Rother has done another impressive job of diving into a chilling true crime story. This deep dive into the mind of serial killer Wayne Adam Ford brings readers up close and personal and lets you get to know Ford's family, his victims, the victims' families and the fallout from Ford's actions, all about the detectives working the case and the attorneys involved, puts you inside the jury deliberation room, and provides new information about how an arrest in an unrelated case opened the doors for the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office to finally identify Ford's first victim.
Rother provides an unbiased account of Ford's killing spree and how the investigation unfolded from the moment Rodney and Wayne stepped into the sheriff's office. She investigates the psychology of a killer who might never have been caught if he hadn't turned himself in, and how an earlier head injury and past emotional trauma evolved into dark sexual impulses he seemed unable to control.
Body Parts is a riveting page turner from beginning to end. Highly recommended!
