Serial Killer Autopsy: Joel Rifkin A chilling examination of one of New York's most prolific serial killers, a man who hid in plain sight while murdering at least nine women, possibly seventeen, over four years of terror. Between 1989 and 1993, Joel Rifkin prowled the streets of New York City, targeting the most vulnerable among us, sex workers struggling with addiction, women society had already forgotten. He strangled them with his bare hands, disposed of their bodies like garbage, and returned to his ordinary life in suburban Long Island as if nothing had happened. For four years, he killed without being caught, without even being suspected. Then, on a summer night in 1993, a missing license plate led to a traffic stop that would expose one of the most disturbing serial murder cases in American history. Serial Killer Autopsy: Joel Rifkin conducts a methodical, unflinching examination of how an awkward, socially isolated man became a serial predator. From his troubled childhood as an adopted child who never fit in, through years of relentless bullying and social rejection, to his evolution into a killer who found purpose only in murder, this book dissects every aspect of Joel Rifkin's life and crimes. But this is not just Joel's story. This is the story of the women whose lives he stole, Barbara Jacobs, Yun Lee, Mary Catherine Williams, Lorraine Orvieto, Mary Ann Holloman, Iris Sanchez, Anna Lopez, Jenny Soto, and Tiffany Bresciani. Women who had names, families, and dreams before they encountered a predator who saw them only as objects. This book restores their humanity and honors their memory by telling their stories with dignity and respect. Drawing on trial transcripts, police reports, psychiatric evaluations, interviews with investigators, and extensive research, this book provides the most comprehensive examination of the Joel Rifkin case ever published. It explores not just what happened, but why, examining the intersection of nature and nurture, the psychology of sexual violence, the sociology of victimization, and the systemic failures that allowed a serial killer to operate with impunity. This is true crime that refuses to sensationalize. While unflinching in its examination of Joel's crimes, this book treats his victims with the dignity they deserved in life and were denied in death. It critically examines how society's devaluation of sex workers created ideal conditions for predation and asks uncomfortable questions about whose lives we value and whose disappearances we investigate. Serial Killer Autopsy: Joel Rifkin is essential reading for true crime enthusiasts, students of criminal psychology, law enforcement professionals, and anyone seeking to understand how serial killers develop, operate, and are ultimately caught. More than just a chronicle of crimes, it is a meditation on evil, responsibility, justice, and the ongoing challenge of protecting society's most vulnerable members from those who would prey upon them.
