Beast of Newcastle
In Beast of New Castle, prosecutor Larry Sells and co-author Margie Porter uncover the terrifying life of Jerry Thompson, one of Indiana’s most violent offenders. Born into brutality as the son of a criminal named Hoggy Thompson, Jerry grew into a predator with no conscience—raping, molesting, brawling, and murdering without remorse. Once armed with a gun, no one was safe, and he rarely left witnesses alive.
From prison fights to child molestation to cold-blooded murders, Thompson’s reign of terror spread fear across communities and courtrooms alike. At one point, he even threatened to tear apart Deputy Prosecutor Larry Sells during a hearing, shaking the justice system to its core.
This gripping true crime account dives deep into Thompson’s violent psyche, chronicling the relentless battle by law enforcement to bring him down. It’s a chilling look at the psychology of a serial killer, the trauma inflicted on victims and communities, and the resilience of those who fought to stop his rampage.
