Erased: Missing Women, Murdered Wives

Praise for Marilee Strong's Erased"Erased defines a new kind of crime and a new, chilling, and very dangerous kind of criminal." -Marc Klaas, crime victims' advocate and founder of Beyond Missing"Finally! An exceptional writer brings a new perspective to the ancient crime of domestic homicide. Once many years ago, Jeffrey MacDonald, a highly intelligent and physically attractive physician, was convicted of killing his pregnant wife and two small children. When asked why he committed such a heinous crime, I answered 'Because he didn't need them anymore.' This is a very powerful book, and Ms. Strong deserves high praise indeed!" -Roy Hazelwood, former FBI profiler and author, The Evil That Men Do and Dark Dreams"Erased is about psychopathic, intensely narcissistic men who not only get rid of their wives through murder (often to free the men up to be with a new lover) but who make them literally disappear. More than well written, it is a page-turner and should be required reading for police authorities all around the country. Strong's 'poster child' is Scott Peterson, but she offers plenty of other poignant examples of this all-too-common phenomenon. Strong's clinical description of these supremely egotistical 'wife-erasers' is so accurate that women around the country must certainly read her book." -Michael H. Stone, M.D., professor of clinical psychiatry, Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons"Erased asks the eternal question concerning the murder of a loved one: 'Who could do such a thing and how could they do it?' The answers are here and need to be read and understood by all." -Clint Van Zandt, former FBI profiler; NBC TV crime analyst; and author, Facing Down Evil"Erased combines the scholarly wisdom of The Mask of Sanity and the true-life horror of In Cold Blood. Marilee Strong has discovered-and understands-the most insidious and perhaps most evil form of spousal killing." -J. Reid Meloy, Ph.D., forensic psychologist and author, The Psychopathic MindStrong, Marilee is the author of 'Erased: Missing Women, Murdered Wives', published 2008 under ISBN 9780787996390 and ISBN 0787996394.
