Erased: Missing Women, Murdered Wives

Presents brilliant new theory that explains today's many headline cases of women who are "erased", and disappear without a trace, with a husband who has no empathy or remorse and often gets away with murder. Includes over fifty prominent cases, including Scott Peterson, Hollywood villain E. Scott Ewing, the notorious Jeffrey MacDonald, and the original eraser killer who inspired Theodore Dreiser's famous novel An American Tragedy and subsequent famous film A Place in the Sun (that starred Montgomery Clift, Elizabeth Taylor, Shelly Winters), and dozens of other cases. Explains why homicide is one of the primary causes of death among pregnant women in America. Shows how eraser killers create elaborate and often fool proof plots to erase, or "disappear" their wives and children, as if they had never lived at all, with no bodies, no apparent evidence of murder, and no guilty husband charged with the crime. Offers new psychological diagnosis known as the "dark triad" of narcissism, lack of human empathy, and Machiavellianism helps explain the extraordinary callousness of eraser murders apparently "normal" men with the ability to kill someone they once professed to love without a hint of remorse and the often ghoulish lengths they go to dispose of their victim's bodies. Analyzes new information and a new theory regarding why Scott Peterson killed his wife and unborn child.
