The Story
âWith previously unknown details, The West Virginia University Co-Ed Murders is a page-turning murder mystery.â --Hoppy Kercheval, Host, Talkline
Some said the killer couldnât be a local. Others claimed he was the wealthy son of a prominent Morgantown family. Whispers spread that Mared and Karen were sacrificed by a Satanic cult or had been victims of a madman poised to strike again. Then the handwritten letters began to arrive: âYou will locate the bodies of the girls covered over with brush--look carefully. The animals are now on the move.â Investigators didnât find too few suspects, they had far too many. There was the campus janitor with a fur fetish, the âharmlessâ delivery man who beat a woman nearly to death, the nursing home orderly with the bloody broomstick and the bouncer with the âgirlishâ laugh who threatened to cut off peopleâs heads.
Local authors Geoff Fuller and S. James McLaughlin tell the complete story of the WVU co-ed murders for the first time.
