A Multi-State Serial Killer True Crime of Harvey Carignan, Classified Ads, and Ann Rule Reporting

During the 1970s, convicted killer Harvey Louis Carignan operated across Minnesota, Washington State, and the Pacific Northwest, using newspaper classified want ads to lure young women seeking employment or transportation. Dubbed "The Want-Ad Killer," Carignan committed multiple sexual assaults and homicides while evading multi-state law enforcement.

Writing under the pseudonym Andy Stack, legendary true crime author Ann Rule reconstructs the multi-jurisdictional police investigation and interstate communications that eventually linked Carignan's crimes. The volume tracks court proceedings, survivor testimonies, and the forensic ballistics that secured Carignan's life sentence.
