Florida Author Yvonne Mason has hit a nerve with her latest release Silent Scream the true crime novel about Florida's First Serial Killer who also happened to be a Martin County Florida Deputy Sheriff. Gerard Schaefer began his killing spree in 1966 and continued until he got caught in 1972 because he got sloppy.
His crimes covered several counties in the state of Florida and involved many many hours of law enforcement. Because of Gerard Schaefer the FBI started its profiling department. One of the men responsible for the beginning of that Department was FBI Agent Roy Hazelwood who has read MS. Mason's book. He has this to say:
"Yvonne Mason has captured the true essence of Gerard Schaefer, a deputy sheriff who
enjoyed torturing and killing young women. It is a gripping story and you should prepare to be disturbed. I guarantee that you will find it difficult to put this book down."
Roy Hazelwood, FBI (ret)
author of Dark Dreams and
The Evil That Men Do
Retired Detective From the Oakland Park Police Department who investigate the disapperance of Susan Place and Georgia Jessup two of Schaefer's victims and the only two young women who he was tried and convicted of killing had this to say about Ms. Mason's Silent Scream:
When Gerald Schaefer used his badge and gun to terrorize and kill rather than protect and serve he crossed a line that not only snuffed out the lives of his victims but also affected the lives of their loved ones and the police officers charged with investigating these crimes. In her book “Silent Screams” Yvonne Mason has captured more than just the story, but has also given voices to all of Schaefer’s unknown victims. I’m sure there are many.
Ms. Mason has reached into the depths of the evil of Gerard Schaefer and finally found a voice of peace for all of the victims. The Scream are no longer silent. They now have a voice and with that voice finally comes peace
