More than a decade after the brief reign of the Beltway Snipers most of the information about the case has been released into the public domain. There’s still a lot of confusion about exactly what the two perpetrators did and why. That’s understandable because it’s such a bizarre story and there are so many tangled threads involved.

The Imperial Japanese Army deployed hundreds of thousands of Japanese soldiers across the islands across the Southwest Pacific. As the Allied island-hopping campaign encircled Japan, thousands of Japanese soldiers were cut off from their command and were presumed killed-in-action. Faced with a desperate decision between dying in suicidal charges and going into hiding, most Japanese soldiers chose suicide. 

The holdouts, on the other hand, chose to live, even if that meant suffering deprivation, hardship and shame.  Most of the holdouts gradually emerged from hiding during the late 1940s and 1950s. A few holdouts—the most famous of the lot—only came down from the mountains ten to thirty years after the war. 

The legacy of the holdouts is a complicated one. It would easy to dismiss men like Yokoi, Onoda and Nakamura as fanatic soldiers, or simply deluded men. That simply was not the case, as this book will show.

However, what if it is the mother who commits the unthinkable crime of murdering her own flesh and blood? 

While the rest of the world looks on in utter shock and disbelief, the growing number of infanticide and filicide cases across the globe serves as grim reminders that even innocent, helpless little children are not exempted from extreme cruelty, even from their own mothers. 

Sadly, many of the women convicted of murdering their own children were able to walk away virtually scot-free and some given minimum sentences. Let us look at the murder cases that rocked the world and gain better insight into what pushed these women to kill their own children.

After all, whose business is it if someone wants to pay for a little erotic pleasure? Unfortunately, drug use, robbery and disease can accompany that good time that someone paid for. 

As we rush further into the 21st century, we’re finding that prostitution is far from victimless and history proves this. Usually it is the prostitutes themselves that are the victims; however, sometimes a murder is committed. 

Let the buyer beware. It might be bad for business, but occasionally prostitutes kill. The motives vary as much as the unfortunates who practice the world’s oldest profession.
