In the 1970s, a serial rapist and murderer terrorized Los Angeles and Orange Counties. His attacks were swift, brutal, and seemingly without pattern — until a team of detectives in Fullerton began to unravel the threads.
In his new book, The Parking Lot Rapist, retired detective Lee DeVore delivers a gripping, insider account of one of Southern California’s most disturbing criminal cases. Through chilling confessions, audio recordings, and behind-the-scenes casework, DeVore captures the real fear and relentless determination of a community under siege.
The story begins on a cold January day in 1976 — the last day in the life of 19-year-old Gina Marie Tisher.
