Overview

For decades, he was a ghost. Then DNA gave the dead a voice. Oakland, California. Between the 1970s and 1980s, women disappeared from the streets-victims of a predator who knew how to kill without leaving a trace. As years turned to decades, their murders went cold, their families left with nothing but questions and grief. The killer walked free, hidden in plain sight. Charles Jackson thought he'd gotten away with murder. He was wrong. Blood in the Bay reveals the stunning true story of how cutting-edge genealogical DNA technology cracked open Oakland's most impenetrable cold cases and finally identified one of the Bay Area's most elusive serial killers. Award-winning journalist David G. Stone takes readers deep inside the decades-long investigation-from the original crime scenes that went cold, through the dark years when justice seemed impossible, to the revolutionary forensic breakthrough that changed everything. This is more than a story about catching a killer. It's about the detectives who refused to give up, the families who never stopped grieving, the scientists who revolutionized forensic investigation, and the victims who waited decades for someone to hear their silent screams. Meticulously researched and powerfully told, Blood in the Bay exposes how a predator hunted in the shadows of a city in crisis-and how the persistence of a few determined investigators, armed with technology that didn't exist when the murders occurred, finally brought him to justice. Some ghosts refuse to stay buried. And some detectives refuse to let them.
