Another excellent book from John Douglas, the author of Mindhunter. The chapter about the Lindbergh baby kidnapping and murder was fascinating. While revisionists over the years have tried to exonerate Bruno Hauptmann from any wrongdoing, the evidence presented in this book makes it crystal clear that he definitely was involved in the crime. But the section dealing with the unsolved murder of JonBenet Ramsey was without question the highlight of The Cases That Haunt Us. Written in the year 2000 when most people believed the parents were responsible for her death, Douglas put his reputation on the line in arguing that it was instead a kidnapping gone wrong. However, after reading another book about the Ramsey case by Detective Steve Thomas, I respectfully disagree with his conclusions. The evidence clearly points to Patsy Ramsey as the murderer.
