## Resource

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong explores the disturbing case of Michael Gargiulo, known as the Hollywood Ripper. For more than a decade, women in the suburbs of Chicago and the Hollywood Hills were being murdered in their own homes, and no one saw it coming -- because the killer was never a stranger. He was the boy next door, the friendly repairman, the neighbor who waved from across the street. Candice examines how Gargiulo used proximity, access, and an unsettling gift for blending in to evade justice for fifteen years -- and how one survivor's refusal to give up changed everything.
