Book Description

On Mardi Gras weekend in February of 2007 over 40 people were butchered beyond recognition in a lonely Louisiana bayou. The horrific tragedy would go on to be known as The Honey Island Swamp Massacre. Paramedic ANDREW YONG was one of the first responders called to the scene over that fateful weekend and was mysteriously the only survivor of the mass killing spree that took place. Standing by his testimony that the murders were carried out by the ghost of local urban legend "Victor Crowley," Yong would immediately become the only suspect in what has since been called "the trial of this century." Though acquitted and exonerated across the board by a grand jury, Yong's story has only spawned more questions than answers and even a decade later the world still considers him to in fact be "the Bayou Butcher." Now, on the 10th anniversary of The Honey Island Swamp Massacre, Yong shares his horrifying account of what really happened that weekend in disturbingly graphic detail. From his upbringing as an outcast... to his tumultuous marriage and divorce from television personality Sabrina Caruthers... to the hell that his life has become in the aftermath of "Victor Crowley"... Yong opens up about living through what is still considered by many to be the most brutal unsolved mass murder of all time.
