BORDER PATROL SERIAL KILLER: Conversations with JUAN DAVID ORTIZ

WHAT GOES ON IN THE MIND OF A SERIAL KILLER?

You think you know ... but you have no idea. This is the story of Juan David Ortiz. This true crime exposé is drawn from EXCLUSIVE interviews-like youve never seen before-with Juan David Ortiz, the professed churchgoer, war veteran, and former Supervisory Border Patrol Agent whose grisly killing spree left four women dead in Laredo, Texas between September 3-15, 2018. Interest in Ortiz continues after he was convicted of all four murders and was sentenced to life in prison without parole on December 7, 2022. This book offers a revealing look at the notorious border patrol serial killer; it is a self-portrait of Ortiz. This high-profile case was covered by Court TV, Law & Crime, NBCs "Dateline," ABCs "20/20," Nancy Grace, etc. I recount observations from court hearings and trials authentically, preserving dialogue to evoke realistic conversations for readers. My interest in undertaking this book was sparked by the classic film "Silence of the Lambs." I found myself resonating with Clarice Starling, albeit in a more analytical and observational role. Contrary to comparisons, Juan David (JD) is not akin to Dr. Hannibal Lecter. I believe if Juan David Ortiz hadnt taken the Paxil ... he wouldnt have murdered anyone.
