If you are into Erie history, you are likely already familiar with the work of Justin Dombrowski. In June 2022, the Central Tech and Mercyhurst University graduate published Murder & Mayhem in Erie, Pennsylvania in which he depicted the tales of six lesser-known true crimes from the city’s past. In February 2023, he followed it up with Erie’s Backyard Strangler: Terror in the 1960s, a standalone narrative recounting a series of possibly connected murders of women throughout the city. In October of that same year, he then dropped Wicked Erie which told seven local tales of “scandal, robbery, murder, suicide, the mob, and more.”
