Gary C. King has told the incredibly detailed and indepth story of serial killer Darren Dee O’Neall and his depravity, his ability to evade capture by changing his appearance and the fact that he didn’t stay in one place for very long. O’Neall was a violent predator with no feelings apart from satisfying his own.The main section of the story involves a young woman by the name of Robin and her family’s desperate attempts to find her. With the steely yet emotional determination of Robin’s mother, Edna and her family they hounded authorities and searched continually themselves.With O’Neall eventually on the FBI’s top ten Most Wanted list the amount of law enforcement people involved in the search for him was astounding. But would their brilliant police work along with Edna and her family’s continued presence eventually get the results everyone wanted?This chilling true story is written with sensitivity and compassion, yet not reducing the horror of what O’Neall’s crimes were. At the beginning of the book, King explains he never wants to downplay a criminal’s crimes as this may cause people to think “but he wasn’t so bad”! If you like to read true crime, this one is definitely worth reading. I have no hesitation in recommending this book.
