Finished reading last night. (January 4th) This was the second time i read this book. It is such a shocking story. This time i read it together with another book about this serial killer: No Remorse by Bob Stewart.

The 2 books were very much alike.
The difference this book was bigger, had a chapter with notes but most important it was published later (3 Years?) which meant the author could tell us the aftermath.
McDuff did tell where 3 of his victims were buried so I am so glad that they were able to bring Regina, Colleen and Melanie home.
Plus the author also told us that McDuff died. He was executed on November 17, 1998 at Huntsville Unit. According to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice death row section McDuff's final words were: "I’m ready to be released. Release me".[3] McDuff's body was never claimed by his family. He is buried in the cemetery of the prison where he was executed. His grave marker is adorned only with his death row number: X999055.

It is very interesting to learn that what he did, being paroled twice and kill again, launched a massive overhaul of its prison system to prevent violent criminals from winning early parole in Texas.
The parole rules were tightened and I can imagine he must have been on of the most hated prisoners by his fellow prisoners. ( )
