The St. Joseph Township-Swearingen Memorial Library is excited to announce we will have Bob Cyphers, winner of the 2022 Edward R. Murrow award, at the library to discuss his 2 books about the I-70 Serial Killer "Dead End: Inside the Hunt for the I-70 Serial Killer" and Midwest Cold Cases "25 Frozen, 1 Thawed: Murder and Mayhem in the Midwest".  He will have copies of the books available at the program. The special program will be Monday, February 23rd at 6 p.m. Mr. Cyphers hopes by traveling around the country to discuss these unsolved cases he will help law enforcement and maybe someday, bring closure to a family. Below is a snippet from his book "Dead End". DEAD ENDIn 1992, a store clerk was found shot to death in broad daylight at the Boot Village in St. Charles, Missouri. Nothing was stolen and there was no sexual assault. This bizarre and seemingly isolated murder was quickly connected with others in Indianapolis, Wichita, Terre Haute, and Raytown. The media dubbed the suspect “The I-70 Serial Killer.” He has never been captured, and the story quickly fell out of the media’s attention. But the cases never went cold for the officers in those cities. In 2021, with the advancements in DNA, St. Charles Police Captain Raymond Floyd launched a task force, bringing all jurisdictions together along with federal agencies to take one final crack at solving the crimes. The task force selected Bob Cyphers of KMOV-TV to follow them along, city by city, in the hunt for the killer. Cyphers and his KMOV crew produced a seven-part award winning series called “Chasing the I-70 Serial Killer.” Their work led to national exposure of the case in People magazine and on the Discovery Channel, winning an Edward R. Murrow Award and being nominated for an Emmy.
