WHAT GOES ON IN THE MIND OF A SERIAL KILLER?
You think you know ... but you have no idea. This is the story of Juan David Ortiz. This true crime exposé is drawn from EXCLUSIVE interviews-like you've never seen before-with Juan David Ortiz, the professed churchgoer, war veteran, and former Supervisory Border Patrol Agent whose grisly killing spree left four women dead in Laredo, Texas between September 3-15, 2018. Interest in Ortiz continues after he was convicted of all four murders and was sentenced to life in prison without parole on December 7, 2022. This book offers a revealing look at the notorious border patrol serial killer; it is a self-portrait of Ortiz. This high-profile case was covered by Court TV, Law & Crime, NBC's "Dateline," ABC's "20/20," Nancy Grace, etc. I recount observations from court hearings and trials authentically, preserving dialogue to evoke realistic conversations for readers. My interest in undertaking this book was sparked by the classic film "Silence of the Lambs." I found myself resonating with Clarice Starling, albeit in a more analytical and observational role. Contrary to comparisons, Juan David (JD) is not akin to Dr. Hannibal Lecter. I believe if Juan David Ortiz hadn't taken the Paxil ... he wouldn't have murdered anyone. Juan David Ortiz: "I went to Veterans Affairs (VA) to get help ... and look at where I ended up."
As a result of my profound experience with Juan David Ortiz, I have embarked on a journey to become a therapist, with a specialized focus on veterans suffering from PTSD. The impact Juan David Ortiz has had on my life has been transformative, altering the very fabric of my existence. My interactions with him on a deeply personal level have left an indelible mark, ensuring that I will never again be the same person I was before our paths crossed. This is the latest version of this book.
