Wesley Shermantine and Loren Herzog -- Killed 5 people before their 21st birthdays but then waited more than a decade to kill again.

Authorities are attempting to verify whether Wesley wrote the confession letter that bears his name. The letter bearing the supposed signatures of Shermantine and 2 other inmates at the San Joaquin County Jail, was forwarded to detectives. Addressed "To Whom It May Concern," the letter says Shermantine would be willing to confess to the killings of Chevelle "Chevy" Wheeler and Cyndi Vanderheiden in exchange for prosecutors' assurances he would not receive the death penalty. The letter states he would be willing to confess and divulge the locations of Wheeler and Vanderheiden's bodies to spare his family and the relatives of the victims grief.

John and Theresa Vanderheiden are desperate to find the body of their daughter Cyndi, raped and murdered in 1998. The family will reward $20,000 to anyone who can lead them to her body except the one person who wants to take their offer: the man convicted of perpetrating the crime. He says he knows where Cyndi's body is. To divulge the information, he feels he can fairly claim the $20,000.

Lethal Intent
by Sue Russell
That rarest of serial killers - a woman - Aileen 'Lee' Wuornos always craved fame. Long before she was hunted and caught by Florida law enforcement, long before she confessed to killing seven men, she told friends that she wanted to do something "no woman has ever done before" and to have a book about her life. Lethal Intent reveals Aileen's devastating double abandonment by her mother before she was age two, the crimes of her father, and the myriad events that helped set her path of destruction. It even contests the widespread superficial judgment of Wuornos as a "man-hating lesbian" via new insights from men with whom she shared sexual and romantic relationships. Lethal Intent also explores the dynamics of her fateful relationship with Tyria Moore, the lesbian lover who knew Aileen was killing yet stayed by her side, and how those dynamics moved Aileen closer to a life of murder. Packed with exclusive material that sheds a different light on this cold-blooded serial killer, Lethal Intent contains new insights and intimate memories from her family, friends and childhood peers. (Peers who lost their virginities to Aileen, who began prostituting herself at a horribly early age.)
