Synopsis: A New England community is rocked by a serial killer, a mass shooter, and a sexual predator—all in a single day—in this true crime chronicle. On January 7, 1994, residents of Berkshire Hills woke up to a typical winter day in the majestic woods of Western Massachusetts. But as that fateful day unfolded, three separate crimes—each unsettling in its own way—would converge in this quaint corner of New England. That day, a trial began for college student, Wayne Lo, who celebrated his 18th birthday by purchasing an assault rifle and opening fire on campus—killing two and wounding four others. Elsewhere, two young girls were accosted in the changing room at the local pool. And another young girl narrowly escaped being abducted at gunpoint on her way to school. Her quick thinking later resulted in profound repercussions regarding another case—that of a young boy who vanished from a strip mall. Though these events appeared unrelated, it seemed as though the world had suddenly gone mad. In Hidden Demons, Margery B. Metzger details these events and reveals a savage serial killer, Lewis Lent, Jr., who lurked in the shadows. It was the bravery of a father and daughter, and the remarkable work of law enforcement officers, that would see justice done.
