In Cold Pursuit by Lt. Paul Echols and Christine Byers Timothy Krajcir thought he had gotten away with murder—nine times—during terror-filled years that gripped the Midwest with fear and anxiety. He drove to various towns where he singled out women he happened upon and then systematically stalked, assaulted and killed his unsuspecting victims in cold blood. He was bold, smart, stealthy and just plain lucky. As police searched in vain for the serial killer, Krajcir, in a strange twist, studied as an Administration of Justice major at Southern Illinois University. He thought nobody would ever know about the serial murders he had committed. In the end, nine dead women were discovered: four in Missouri, four in Illinois and one in Pennsylvania. And then a tenth victim, a black man who died in prison for a crime Krajcir now admits he committed. Little did this heartless killer know, however, that a rookie cop named Paul Echols had begun to research the cold cases between his own studies and could not stop thinking about the victims. He pledged to see this savage murderer be held responsible for his unforgivable sins. In Cold Pursuit: My Hunt for Timothy Krajcir—The Notorious
Serial Killer tells the tale of the trail of blood left in the
wake of Timothy Krajcir’s deadly rampage by the man who finally
brought the killer to justice twenty-five years later. Lt. Paul Echols is a graduate of the FBI
National Academy and the former Investigations Commander for the
Carbondale, Illinois, Police Department. Paul is now a Criminal
Justice Instructor at Shawnee Community College near Ullin,
Illinois. Paul also teaches aspiring police officers in the Southern
Illinois University Administration of Justice Department of
Criminology and Criminal Justice. Paul and his wife, Sheila, and two
children live in Southern Illinois.
