Cassaro Winery True Crime and Wine: The Purgatory Killer

Cassaro Winery True Crime and Wine: The Purgatory Killer

Join John for the incredible story of a serial killer, playwright, and journalist who covered his own crimes right in front of the police. This is the story of Jack Unterweger, who was convicted of M**der and sentenced to Pr*son. While imprisoned, he began to write extensively, and gained the attention of intellectuals, who interpreted it as evidence of his supposed rehabilitation. After significant lobbying, Unterweger was released on parole. Upon his release, he became a minor celebrity and worked as a playwright and journalist, but within months he resumed his killing spree. The most bizarre fact of all is that he often covered stories about crimes that he actually committed.

John Matthews is an award-winning writer and co-author of The Eyeball Killer, a true crime Book of the Month published by Pinnacle Books and Doubleday. John has been featured on shows including HBO Autopsy, Evil I, Very Bad Men, Born to K*ll, M**der by the Numbers, Mark of a Killer, People Magazine Investigates and World’s Most Evil Killers.
