John Crutchley seemed to be living the American Dream. Good-looking and blessed with a genius level IQ, hehad a prestigious, white-collar job at a prominent government defense contractor, where he held top secretsecurity clearance and handled projects for NASA and the Pentagon.To all outward appearances, he was a hard-working, successful family man with a lavish new house, a devotedwife, and a healthy young son. But, he concealed a hidden side of his personality, a dark secret tied to ahunger for blood and the overriding need to kill.As one of the most prolific serial killers in American history, Crutchley committed at least twelve murders, and possibly nearly three dozen. His IQ elipsed that of Ted Bundy, and his body count may have as well. While he stalked the streets hunting his unsuspecting victims, the residents of a quiet Florida town slept soundly, oblivious to the darkcreature in their midst . . . unaware of the vampire next door.
