About this ebook

The twelve-year rampage of “Missoula Mauler” Wayne Nance—and the shocking end to his murder spree

To his neighbors, Wayne Nance, a furniture mover from Missoula, Montana, appeared to be an affable, considerate, and trustworthy guy. No one knew that Nance was the “Missoula Mauler,” a psychopath responsible for a series of sadistic sex slayings that rocked the idyllic town between 1974 and 1986.
 
Nance’s only requirement for murder was accessibility—a preacher’s wife, a teenage runaway, a female acquaintance, a married couple. Putting on a friendly façade, he could easily gain his victims’ trust. Then, one September night, thirty-year-old Nance pushed his luck, preying on a couple who lived to tell the tale.
 
A true story with an incredible twist, written by former Wall Street Journal editor John Coston and complete with photos, To Kill and Kill Again reveals the disturbing compulsions of a charming serial killer who fooled everyone he knew, stumped the authorities, terrified a community, and nearly got away with it.

The jumping from one incident to another and from one time frame to another made it hard to follow. Also there were too much details about the background of the victims' families that it got boring with time. There were many repeated sentences that could have been edited out. There wasn't much information about the police procedures and if Wayne wasn't killed, he would have probably never been caught.

Terrifying True Story of Montana's Baby-Faced Serial Sex Murderer Wayne Nancy, better known as the Missoula Mauler, went on a 12-year spree in Montana. He was a psychopath responsible for sadistic and brutal sex slayings between 1974 and 1986. Nance's victims were handy .. he knew them, their families. They were accessible ... a preacher's wife, a teenage runaway. But he made a mistake in going after a couple .. they lived (barely) to tell the tale. This book takes the reader back to when Nance was a youngster. He was very bright in school, which sort of gave him a free pass when he acted out. His father would say "he's just a boy". Nance always carried a knife, threatening to kill someone by the time of his 19th birthday... which he did achieve. The book is well-written. The way this young man terrorized his community just gave me the chills. And when Nance wasn't busy killing and butchering, he was quite the gentleman, polite, the kind of man any mother would be proud to see their daughter date. I think that was the scariest thought of all. Many thanks to the author / Endeavour Press who provided a digital copy in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.

This horrific killer was not responsible for the murder of little Siobhan McGuiness. DNA evidence has ruled him out. You can google the facts.
