Product Description
With about 400 murders each year in Indiana, Hoosiers witness their share of human darkness. And, while many citizens might prefer to forget these unfortunate episodes, the seamy side of the state must not go unexamined. Notorious 92: Indiana's Most Heinous Murders In All 92 Counties looks at the state's dark side, illustrating that the murderous venom of today has been present in Indiana for two centuries. From marital and financial problems to substance abuse and racial hostilities, generations of Hoosiers are linked by not only the lands they inhabit, but by the demons they face.
In Notorious 92, Andrew E. Stoner recounts murders from each of Indiana's 92 counties. Among the eye-opening cases detailed in this volume are:
- The story of Vigo County's Larry Eyler, a serial killer who claimed the lives of 21 men from 1982 to 1984
- The story of an unidentified runaway slave who was killed in downstate Switzerland County by a Kentucky slave owner in 1859
- The story of Elkhart County's Shirley Rock, a young lady who admitted to poisoning her husband because she didn't believe in divorce
- The story of brothers Anthony "The Ant" and Michael Spilotro, two alleged members of the Chicago Mob who were found beaten to death and buried in a Newton County cornfield, with the gruesome double murder portrayed in the Martin Scorsese film Casino
- The story of Marion County's Marjorie Jackson, a wealthy widow who was murdered in her home while her killer robbed her of $3.5 million, but didn t find an additional $5 million hidden around her estate
Notorious 92 makes clear that for Indiana to cure itself of society's ills, it first must be familiar with the motives and patterns of its citizens' violent tendencies.

Reader Reviews
Andrew Stoner's look into this part of Indiana history is outstanding. I read this one cover-to-cover. Stoner has written this in easy-to-read, well-researched chapters. Some of the cases I had heard of before, but many were new to me. As a lifelong Hoosier, I found myself shocked and amazed that this was a part of our history, but I know it's true. I think readers will enjoy the careful research, the attention to detail, and most of all the resolution each case is brought to at the end of each chapter.
