Book description
This book tells the riveting story of a vicious criminal, Stanley Hoss. Hailing from a small town on the outskirts of Pittsburgh, he caused the area to become gripped by terror after his escape from the local workhouse where he was doing time after brutally raping a teenager in 1969. He then began a horrifying crime spree by murdering a beloved local cop, followed by another kidnap and rape. Moving into Maryland, he then kidnapped a young mother and toddler, eventually murdering each of them in separate states. Their bodies have never been located. After being placed on the FBIs Ten Most Wanted list, he was captured in Iowa.In two egregious miscarriages of justice, his sentence of death for the slaying of Officer Zanella was overturned and changed to life imprisonment and a legal technicality prevented him from being tried in the case of the young mother. Now in the penitentiary, his crime wave continued unabated due to the governors stance on increasing rights of the prisoners. Despite terrorizing and assaulting other prisoners, more and more privileges were given to Hoss. After the governor banned the use of the hole for any prisoners, regardless of the risk involved, Hoss and two cohorts were able to overpower and murder a highly-respected guard in a savage and premeditated attack. Once again he did not get the sentence that was sought by the prosecutor. Hoss finally cracked after being transferred to a new prison and spending several years of solitary confinement that was likely to continue for many years. He hung himself rather than stick it out in solitary.The author, James G Hollock, did extensive research and it shows. The book is very detailed, yet it is very readable. I sought out this book because Im from the area where Hoss is from and spent much of his imprisonment. Although a very small child at the time of his rampage, I was aware of Stanley Hoss and the fear associated with his name. In fact, he was the boogeyman of my childhood, as we would be cautioned not to talk to strangers or to go anywhere we couldnt be found because Stanley Hoss might get us like he got that lady and her little girl. Hollock does an excellent job of capturing the essence of those times. It was a fascinating book and I recommend it highly to any true crime aficionados and especially to anybody from Pittsburgh and the tri-state area.
