Contains 4 stories
Bill Payne, Public Enemy
17 pp · crime
Officer Common Sense

Bill Payne, a career criminal with a rap sheet stretching back to 1921, plots an audacious prison break with inside help from a woman named Dixie, setting in motion a desperate escape that puts hostages in danger. As Officer Common Sense recounts this true crime case, Payne's ruthless determination to evade capture drives him to increasingly violent measures, all while the law closes in. This tale of a man convinced he's unstoppable collides with the hard reality that crime's bill always comes due.

Why Did They Call Edna Crow the "Pig Woman"?
8 pp · crime

Edna Crow runs a backwoods roadhouse and dreams of opening a big-time speakeasy in New York, but her ambitions collide with the law when the FBI raids her operation—and a fateful encounter with a desperate criminal sets her on a darker path. This true crime story explores how a woman's hunger for power and resentment of a rigged world can twist her into something beyond redemption, culminating in the crime that earned her the horrifying nickname "Pig Woman." A chilling 1948 account of how desperation and rage can corrupt even the most human among us.

Charlie Birger the Demon
9 pp · crime

Charlie Birger starts as a sharpshooter in the U.S. Cavalry with big ambitions—and fewer scruples—than most. After his discharge, he parlays a connection to a St. Louis crime outfit into a rapid rise through the bootlegging underworld, eventually declaring himself "Baron" and using violence and intimidation to consolidate control of the rackets. As Birger's grip tightens and rivals like Hilton fall, his reign of terror grows more ruthless, setting the stage for his iron-fisted rule over Shady Rest.

The Kidnapper
5 pp · crime

A young boy is snatched from his home in the Everglades by a heartless criminal who demands ransom from his desperate parents. The FBI mobilizes to hunt down the kidnapper across Florida, following fragile leads that may—or may not—lead them to the child alive. Based on a real case from 1928, this is a stark reminder of why J. Edgar Hoover called kidnapping the most inhuman crime of all.
