In case you haven’t noticed, Cleveland, my old home town, has become a focus of notoriety. First there was the guy who stashed away three women for years and now there’s a serial killer who packs his victims in plastic bags until the odor leads to their discovery.
So what’s new? Serial murdering has been around Northeastern Ohio since the novel Dead End. Okay,the setting is Akron-Canton-Youngstown, but close enough. We don’t know the motivation for the Cleveland killings, but Dead End’s murderer had a genuine agenda, one that is so unique I doubt if you’ll find it anywhere else in life or literature.
