Shattered Campus: The Cal State University Fullerton Massacre(opens in new tab)The Voices, the Obsession, and the Road to Murder
From the detective who caught the Parking Lot Rapist comes the inside true account of a massacre that shook a California community.
On the morning of July 12, 1976, Edward Charles Allaway walked into the library of California State University, Fullerton, where he worked and opened fire, killing seven of his coworkers and injuring two others.
To everyone who knew him, Allaway was quiet, hardworking, and unremarkable. But for months, something had been taking root inside him about his young wife that he couldn't silence, fed by the voices he was certain belonged to those he worked with every day. By the morning of the shooting, he had become someone none of them recognized.
As the supervising detective assigned to the case, Lee DeVore draws upon official case files, court transcripts, newspaper accounts, firsthand interviews, and his own experience to reconstruct the tragedy and its aftermath. Through the eyes of survivors, coworkers, emergency responders, and a community forever changed by the violence, he examines the devastating impact of the massacre while offering law enforcement and school administrators insight into recognizing the warning signs of the next shooter.
Lee DeVore is a retired law enforcement executive with over 30 years of service in the Fullerton Police Department in California, where he served as Detective Division Captain and Interim Chief of Police. He later served ten years as Chief of Police in Twin Falls, Idaho, holding leadership roles including President of the Idaho Chiefs of Police Association and Chairman of the Idaho POST Commission. A graduate of California State University, Long Beach, and the University of Redlands, he also completed the California Police Command College. DeVore is the author of The Parking Lot Rapist (2024) and his upcoming book A Campus Shattered: The Cal State Fullerton Massacre, a firsthand investigative account of one of California's earliest and most lethal campus mass shootings.
Order this Bound to Die – He Promised Them Opportunity. He Gave Them Death.Three Young Women Vanished. One Survivor Exposed Their Killer.
Los Angeles in the 1950s drew young women with promises of work, independence, and a chance at something bigger. Harvey Glatman saw an opportunity of another kind.
Posing as a photographer and using lonely-hearts clubs and modeling agencies to find victims, Glatman abducted and murdered Judith Dull, Ruth Mercado, and Shirley Bridgeford, leaving their bodies in the Southern California desert. For months, their disappearances remained disconnected and unexplained.
Then Glatman targeted Lorraine Vigil. She fought back, survived, and helped expose the man behind a horrifying series of crimes. Investigators soon uncovered photographs of bound women and evidence linking Glatman to the missing victims.
A killer had been hiding in plain sight. Drawing on court records, contemporary newspapers, archival material, and original research, BOUND TO DIE: The Young Victims of a Serial Killer and Rapist follows Harvey Glatman’s trail from the streets of Los Angeles into the desolate Southern California desert, where three young women met their deaths.

Lisa Mia started writing poetry following the tragic death of her father at the tender age of eight. To cope with a life of sexual and physical abuse she subsequently expanded her artistry by songwriting and journaling.
By the age of twelve two of her poems were published. With her abusive stepfather infuriated by an invitation to attend the celebration for her achievement, he destroyed all her existing work and forbade her to write. Control was accomplished by locking her in a room without writing implements, food or water.
Hardly discouraged, Lisa utilized the restrictions as a motivation to expand the power of her mind and subsequently composed and stored all her poetry in her mind.
Her testimony to law enforcement sent the monster to prison. Unencumbered and attending high school, Lisa began writing her memoir. She shared the work in progress with her classmates; they clamored for more. She had her first group of avid readers.
In 2009, two excerpts of her unpublished memoir were winners of the 78th Annual Writer’s Digest Writing Competition for Memoirs/Personal Essays. This followed the "Juliet Lives" manuscript being featured at Florida’s 42nd Annual Reading Conference by host, and Edgar Allan Poe Award winning author Alane Ferguson, in 2014.
Nearly a decade later, Lisa completed her work and jumped into TikTok inspiring other suffers of trauma and connecting them to her survival story.
Lisa’s genuine empathy and advocacy for those in pain gained her a considerable following, all the while documenting her interactions with those that reached out to her. A little over a month later she went viral gaining thousands of followers plus hundreds requesting her words to heal their heavy, aching hearts.
She composes original, tailored poems and affirmations to her wounded, yet resilient community.
"Juliet Lives", is thus a novelization of her experiences and the first book of a trilogy.
In addition, Lisa Mia is an advocate and life coach for sex trafficking survivors, men who have suffered from physical and sexual trauma, as well as sufferers of various life altering events.
She is currently enrolled at The University of California, Berkeley.

Greg Scarpa, Legendary Evil: The Many Faces of a Mafia KillerBy Jonathon DyerGoodfellow, capo, killer, thief. A man so diabolically evil that he ordered his eldest son to murder his closest associate, and his youngest son to murder his best friend.
When Greg Scarpa was in his early twenties he became a goodfellow in the Profaci family by swearing a blood oath to the Mafia, at the time the country’s largest organized-crime syndicate. And for 25 years he betrayed that oath and the men closest to him by acting as a paid informant for the FBI. He fed America’s premier law enforcement agency a steady stream of self-serving information accusing the men who trusted him with their lives of every crime he was himself committing. During those 25 years of treachery, Scarpa was a one-man crime wave who spent only 30 days behind bars thanks to his status as the FBI’s ultimate Mafia insider. His standing as a prized informant freed him to engage in mayhem and murder knowing he had a virtual license to kill with reckless abandon.
Greg Scarpa, Legendary Evilis a deep dive that provides fresh insight into Scarpa’s malignant personality. Dyer peels back the layers of myth and misdirection to paint as complete and accurate a picture as possible of a man who murdered his enemies and betrayed his friends, of a bigamist who loved only money, of a feared and reviled man whose destructive appetites knew no bounds.https://www.amazon.com/Greg-Scarpa-Legendary-Evil-Killer/dp/1964730678/
