Terror in East Lansing: The Tale of MSU Serial Killer Donald Miller (A True Crime Short) by R. Barri Flowers

From R. Barri Flowers, award winning criminologist and internationally bestselling author of the true crime classic, The Sex Slave Murders, comes a gripping new true crime short, Terror in East Lansing: The Tale of MSU Serial Killer Donald Miller.

In the late 1970s, a serial killer prowled the campus of Michigan State University, terrorizing students and faculty alike. Donald Miller was a graduate of MSU’s renowned School of Criminal Justice, but somehow went awry and turned into a monster, targeting pretty coeds for sex assault and murder. Miller’s victims included his ex-fiancée. Only after the killer was brought to justice could the campus return to normal as a place for education and enjoyment.

Donald Miller’s path from promising Criminal Justice grad to deadly criminal is chronicled in this riveting short.

A complete second story is, “The Midwest Murders,” the shocking tale of serial killer couple, Alton Coleman and Debra Denise Brown, who went on a killing spree across four Midwestern states during the summer of 1984, showing no mercy to those in their murderous path.

Bonus material includes excerpts from R. Barri Flowers’ bestselling true crime book, The Sex Slave Murders: The True Story of Serial Killers Gerald and Charlene Gallego, and top selling true crime shorts, The Sex Slave Murders 3: The Horrific Tale of Serial Killers Leonard Lake and Charles Ng and The Amityville Massacre: The DeFeo Family’s Nightmare.

TERROR IN EAST LANSING is available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble and iTunes.
