His crimes were horrific, and he paid the ultimate price for them. When journalist Martha Elliott first heard of Ross, she learned what the world knew of him-- that he had been a master at hiding in plain sight. Elliott, a staunch critic of the death penalty, was drawn to the case when the Connecticut Supreme Court overturned Ross's six death sentences. Rather than fight for his life, Ross requested that he be executed because he didn't want the families of his victims to suffer through a new trial. Elliott was intrigued and sought an interview. The two began a weekly conversation--that developed into an odd form of friendship--that lasted over a decade, until Ross's last moments on earth. Over the course of his twenty years in prison, Ross had come to embrace faith for the first time in his life. He had also undergone extensive medical treatment. The Michael Ross whom Elliott knew seemed to be a different man from the monster who was capable of such heinous crimes. This Michael Ross made it his mission to share his story with Elliott in the hopes that it would save lives. He was her partner in unlocking the mystery of his own evil" -- $c provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Ross, Michael Bruce, $d 1959-2005. 650 0 $a Serial murderers $z Connecticut $v Biography. 650 0 $a Serial murders $z Connecticut $v Case studies. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 20 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409023203.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314011907.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231019021033.0 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331012727.0 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20210924014215.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204081036.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110062951.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20181107050444.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006091534.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720044319.0 952 $l NDPD953 $d 20180713051229.0 952 $l MWPB943 $d 20180712042018.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418110907.0 952 $l YMPD532 $d 20160109015733.0 952 $l CIPB482 $d 20151212010150.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20151023010622.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20151002011733.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20151001050800.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20150916040345.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20150915012812.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2D7215C0520111E5BF869D94DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
