Now #FREE in Kindle, iTunes, and Kobo, from
award winning criminologist R. Barri Flowers and the bestselling author of
Murder at the Pencil Factory and The Sex Slave Murders, a powerful historical
true crime short, Murder of the Banker’s Daughter: The Killing of Marion
Parker.
On December 15, 1927, 12-year-old
Marion Parker, daughter of a prominent banker was brazenly abducted from her
junior high school in Los Angeles, California in a bizarre ransom scheme. Two
days later, the girl’s dismembered remains were left behind by a brutal killer,
destroying a family and unnerving the entire city.
This caused pandemonium as the
perpetrator managed to evade immediate capture, leading to a manhunt by
authorities unlike any in recent memory. The horror of the crime was
reminiscent of one 14 years earlier involving 13-year-old Mary Phagan, who was
murdered at a pencil factory in Atlanta, and 5 years later when the
20-month-old son of famed aviator Charles Lindbergh was abducted from the
family’s New Jersey home and brutally slain.
The killer of Marion Parker was
identified as former bank messenger William Edward Hickman, a 19-year-old with
a score to settle and an appetite for killing.
The career criminal’s capture,
trial, and ultimate fate captured the public’s imagination, while putting
attention on the age-old vulnerability of children in this country targeted by
child predators and the often tragic consequences that rings true to this day.
Included with the story are bonus
excerpts of R. Barri Flowers' bestselling true crime shorts, Murder at the
Pencil Factory and Mass Murder in the Sky, as well as an excerpt of the
author’s international bestselling true crime book, The Sex Slave Murders.
Murder of the Banker’s Daughter is
also available in audio through Audible, Amazon, and iTunes.
