Who wrote the 'murder manual' that inspired a triple murder?
Episode 12
Sunday, 25 January, 2026
On March 3, 1993, three people were brutally murdered in Silverspring, Maryland: single mother Millie Horn, her young son Trevor, and his nurse, Janice Saunders. There were no fingerprints. The killings were targeted and quick. The killer seemed to know what they were doing - almost like they had read a book about it. Well, it turns out, they had. Ten years earlier, Paladin Press published a book called 'Hit Man: A Technical Manual for Independent Contractors'. It detailed how to kill and get away with murder. Despite attempts to have the book taken off shelves, many argued that the first amendment to the U.S.constitution meant it had a right to exist. This week on Crime Story, Jasmyn Morris joins us to talk about the podcast Hit Man. She explains how a book became evidence for murder, the fight to take it off the shelves and the mysterious author behind the murderous manual.You can find Hit Man here.
