On June 3, 1991, an abandoned car was found on a busy stretch of highway near Newport Beach, California. It's owner, Denise Huber, seemed to have vanished off the face of the earth. For 3 years her dissappearance remained a mystery, inspiring one of the most intensive missing-persons searches in history. All to no avail. Because the only man who knew what happened to Denise wasn't talking. He wasn't through with her yet.
Only July 13, 1994, in an affluent suburb of Prescott, Arizona, a padlocked truck parked in the driveway of 37-year-old John Famalaro provokes suspicion. When authorities finally pried open it's doors, they found the nude, handcuffed corpse of Denise Huber stuffed into a freezer-preserved forever in the throes of death. Inside Famalaro's home were Denise's personal belongings, along with neatly arranged "trophies" of other female prey.
But it was the revelations at Famalaro's trial that would truly stagger the imagination, laying bare the terrifying details of Denise's final hours, and exposing the dark past of a merciless killer consumed by perversity and unfathomable evil.
From the unforgettable crime to the relentless manhunt, from the sensational trial to the startling aftermath, COLD STORAGE will chill wvwn the most seasoned true crime aficionado to the bone.

As always, it's a good thing that criminals are usually stupid too so they can be caught! This guy was as dumb as they come and it's amazing that he was able to get away with his crime for over 3 years! Sick, sick, sick. But.......a good read.

True story of a creep who kept a body in a freezer in a rental truck. Pretty good, if you like these kinds of books.
This true story haralds a real wake up call for everyone. Carry a "Call Police" sign in your car for emergencies. 12 pages of photos.
This is a well-written true crime that really helps you understand what was going on in the mind of the killer.
A great book for all True Crime fans. This story gives background on the killer, his family, the victim, her family and the sturggle her family went through. A great story!
Shocking true crime! A guy kills a girl and hides her body in a freezer that he keeps with him for years as he moves. Yucky but interesting.
Very interesting book. with a very intersting story... keeps you guessing the whole way through.
Well written & well researched. I liked the fact that the author spent time getting to know both victim's family & killer's relatives, plus has a few kind things to say about police, prosecutors & news people. I came away with the feeling that, even with a horrible murder like this, there is a chance for some justice.
The true story of California's gruesome ice box killer. Wish I could give more info but its been a long time since I read this book.
really good~
