Good evening.

This is your host, Dan Zupansky, for the program True Murder, the most shocking killers

in true crime history, and the authors that have written about them.

On October 29, 1997, Hooker Andrea Slick Hendrix's beaten naked body was discovered in a roadside ditch near Stewardsville, Indiana.

With no leads for police to follow, the case eventually went cold, but it wouldn't stay that way.

In 2003, Sadistic Sexual Predator Joseph W. Brown claimed to have strangled Hendrix with his favorite murder weapon, a shoelace from a woman's size H shoe.

Ginger Gasway, 53, met Brown at a gambler's anonymous meeting.

She didn't know that when she took up with him, she was gambling with her life.

On August 30, 2000, Brown murdered Gasway and scattered her body parts across three Indiana counties.

For this grizzly crime, he would be sentenced to life in prison without parole, but it wouldn't be his first time behind bars.

In 1977, Brown had been sentenced to life in prison for kidnapping and arm robbery.

In 1995, he was released, despite the fact that he'd beaten a fellow inmate nearly to death.

Brown later confessed that during the next five years, he indulged in a seven-state rampage of torture and murder, his victims, female hitchhikers and prostitutes.

Now, doing time in Wabash Valley Correctional's Correction Center, Brown maintains that he'd murdered no less than 13 other women.

The book that we're profiling this evening is Blood Trail with my special guest, Rick Reed.
