Adopted Killers: 430 Adoptees Who Killed - How and Why They Did It

By Lori Carangelo

ADOPTED KILLERS provides names, faces, and voices to 430 adoptees who killed, for an in-depth look at how and why they killed, as compared to non-adoptees who killed. A wealth of true stories and information is amassed with sources noted. Of the 430 adoptees categorized by type of victims, 235 killed their adoptive parents and/or adoptive relatives; 86 killed strangers; 76 are known serial killers; 19 are mass murderers including school shooters; 14 killed their biological parents; 46 were sexually abused and/or abusers, 31 were executed, 14 committed suicide. Most were not determined to be "mentally ill" at trial. The reasons for their crimes are often over-simplified by investigators and media with "G-words" -- such as "Greed" (inheritance), "Guns" (accessibility), "Genetics" (Mom or Dad was crazy or criminal), or "Godlessness" (pure evil). They've been telling us the REAL reasons but have we been listening? A section on Alternatives and Resources offers hope for helping to prevent more "monsters."
