The Diary of the DC Sniper Book

In October 2002, a little over a year after the September 11th terrorist attacks, the entire East Coast was gripped in fear by a series of random shootings and murders that occurred in and around our nation's capital.

These were innocent people, doing everyday things, from pumping gas, to reading a book on a park bench, mowing their lawn or just walking down the street. Most were gunned down in broad daylight, seemingly without any rhyme or reason. The shooters left no evidence other than a loud bang and a single bullet casing in their wake. The only connection between all of the victims was that there was no connection at all.

The panic that began with the first murder on the evening of October 2nd had spiraled out of control by October 22nd. 10 people were dead and at least 3 others were critically injured. Buses lined the front of schools to protect children as they entered and exited. Families were held captive in their own homes. Law enforcement had no real leads or answers and could not offer anything to calm the public's growing concerns. Nobody was safe.

Then 2 days later, in the early morning hours of October 24th, the D.C. Snipers were apprehended at a rest stop in Myersville, Maryland. They were caught as they slept in their dark blue 1990 Chevrolet Caprice.

Now, a decade later, Lee Boyd Malvo provides the intimate personal details through a diary that was written 2 years after the shootings. The diary was brought out of the darkness through a relationship that was established by Anthony Meoli over 7 years of wanting to know the real story behind the motivation for these crimes.

At first this relationship was initiated by letters, it was later fostered through personal phone calls which were taken on a weekly basis. It was during one of these calls that Lee revealed a diary existed and that it would explain the details of his life that have never fully been known. It would be these events that would become the catalysts to eventually lead him down the road to becoming one half of the D.C. Sniper duo.

What you find within Lee Boyd Malvo's fully authorized diary will shock you.
