JigSaw & Jane 13 Years of Murder & Mayhem with Badge Number One

By Robert Riggs LAPD Homicide Detective John St. John aka &#8220;JigSaw John&#8221; Badge #1 Legendary LAPD Homicide Detective John St. John walked among the dead for nearly a half-century. Known as “JigSaw John,” he pursued monsters that had an insatiable appetite for blood and suffering. Jane Howatt, a suburban housewife and aspiring writer, wanted to trade her tennis racket for something more meaningful. St. John didn’t need company, and he sure didn’t want a young unpublished author in his way.&#160; But something about Howatt’s curiosity—earnest, unspoiled, insistent—broke down his guard. St. John worked the evidence; Howatt worked the story.&#160; The result is “JigSaw and Jane: Thirteen Years of Murder &#38; Mayhem with Badge Number One.”&#160; St.John empathized with crime victims because he was one of them. As a young jailer, a prisoner ambushed him with an iron bar ripped from a bunk. The prisoner savagely beat St. John to the brink of death, leaving him blind in one eye. In another life, JigSaw and Jane would have barely noticed each other in a supermarket aisle.&#160; Instead, they found themselves peering into crime scenes of LA’s most brutal and sensational crimes together. This is their story. PLEASE SUPPORT MY WORK Click here to purchase my &#8220;Texas Crime Stories&#8221; audiobook.
