Chestnut Heights Publishing

Chestnut Heights Publishing has just released William LaRue's newest book, "The Long Shadow of Katy's Killer: Parole Hearings and Other Updates to ‘A Stranger Killed Katy.’" You can order it now from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and numerous other online bookstores as a paperback or eBook. (See the Amazon link below.)
Drawing from New York parole board transcripts, prison records, interviews, and newly uncovered psychological evaluations, LaRue takes readers inside the New York parole process, revealing the stunning ways convicted murderer Brian M. McCarthy has attempted to win freedom—such as portraying his 1986 beating and strangulation murder of Clarkson University sophomore Katherine “Katy” Hawelka as a tragic accident. He is scheduled for his ninth parole hearing this April
This sequel to LaRue’s 2021 true-crime book, "A Stranger Killed Katy," builds to a dramatic 2023 parole hearing, where McCarthy’s manipulations collide with a board determined to uncover the truth. The book also highlights the tireless fight by Katy’s family to keep him behind bars, and how the "Morbid" true-crime podcast’s two-part episode in 2022 helped to spur more than 60,000 people to sign an online petition opposing McCarthy’s parole.
