His Own Flesh and Blood (The story of Raymond Goedecke, the killer in the choir.)

In "His Own Flesh and Blood," author Steve Bennett masterfully explores the shocking life of Raymond Goedecke. An eighteen-year-old divinity student from Chula Vista, California, Goedecke was the youngest man to be sentenced to death for the horrifying murder of his parents and siblings in 1964. Yet, in a twist of fate, his sentence was reduced, allowing him to evade death row, inherit a fortune, and ultimately gain early release.

Raymond Goedecke was a conundrum— a good Christian boy on the surface, yet a chilling psychopath underneath. As a free man, he involved himself in a series of suspicious events, including the mysterious death of his apartment mate and a devastating church fire. Throughout his life, Goedecke maintained a facade of sanity, fooling an entire community and leaving a trail of victims in his wake.

Delving into police records, newspaper archives, and personal accounts, Bennett paints an unsettling portrait of Goedecke's life, from his youthful years to his death in 1994. His narrative uncovers the disturbing reality of a man who seemingly could take the lives of five individuals and serve only fifteen years in prison.

"His Own Flesh and Blood" is a haunting exploration of deceit, manipulation, and the terrifying depths of human nature, told in riveting detail. It is a story that will leave readers questioning the very nature of evil and the masks that it wears.
