Hunted in the Heartland: A Memoir of Murder
By Bonney Hogue Patterson

On May 12, 1978, a woman is assaulted and brutally murdered in her home. It happened in broad daylight, as her husband lunched with friends, and neighbors bustled in and out of their houses. Two nearby women have encounters with a strange man. Neither would have believed that they would be the only living survivors able to identify who was then an unknown serial killer in the midst of his most deadly killing frenzy. Bonney Hogue Patterson describes in vivid detail this haunting, true story of the murder of her neighbor, Virginia Lee Witte, by serial killer Timothy Krajcir and the efforts to solve the cold case and bring the killer to justice nearly 30 years later.
