About this listen
Award winner! With a new introduction by best-selling true-crime author Ron Franscell.
For twenty-five years, the trusted family doctor in a small Wyoming town had been raping and molesting the women and children who most relied on him. Mostly Mormons, the naive victims sometimes realized on their wedding nights the truth about what had happened in Dr. Story's office.
In riveting detail, veteran crime writer Jack Olsen tells the searing story of a small group of courageous women who decided to bring a doctor to justice--and unearthed a legacy of pain and anger that would divide their families, their neighbors, and an entire town.

The police in Jersey County, Illinois, accepted Paula Sims' story of a masked kidnapper who snatched her baby girl, Lorelei, from her bassinet. Three years later, her second newborn daughter suffered an identical fate - and this time the police were unable to stop searching until they had discovered the whole horrifying truth.

He said he had no idea what happened to his young wife, and that he and the boys had been camping in the middle of a snowstorm.

"This masterful book by the author of

In 1911 two British heiresses, Claire and Dora Williamson, read a brochure about a revolutionary fasting treatment that promised a lifetime of good health. The sanatorium in the village of Olalla, west of Seattle, was surrounded by a beautiful forest, sparkling waters and fresh air. The sisters agreed it sounded perfect and exactly the restorative holiday they needed. But within a month of arriving, under the supervision of Doctor Linda Burfield Hazzard, Claire and Dora began to realise the frightening truth – they were not patients but prisoners at the isolated sanitorium.

Story
Elmer Wayne Henley, Jr. was only fourteen when he first became entangled with serial rapist and murderer Dean Corll in 1971. Fellow Houston, Texas, teenager David Brooks had already been ensnared by the charming older man, bribed with cash to help lure boys to Corll's home. Corll baited Henley with the same deal he'd given Brooks: $200 for each boy they could bring him.

Melissa Ramirez, Claudine Anne Luera, Guiselda Hernandez, and Janelle Ortiz were four marginalized women striving to make ends meet as sex workers. They looked out for one another. But they would soon share a connection that none of them could have imagined. When Melissa was found dead, the other three women were on edge but assumed they were safe. Twelve days later, they too were dead and police had detained an unlikely suspect—Juan David Ortiz, a ten-year veteran of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Story
No bond is more sacred than the one between a mother and child. And no figure is more sympathetic than a mother whose child faces a life-threatening illness. But what if the mother is the reason for the illness? What if the sympathy is the point? With help from some of the top MBP experts in the world, Dunlop and Weber uncover the complex maze of psychological, systemic, and cultural issues that compound MBP and offer solutions for how we might find our way out.

Hope Ybarra-Did I know her?

Jack Olsen's account is detailed and spellbinding from beginning to end. When, finally, a legal investigation is begun, the problems seem insurmountable. Sex is a taboo subject for Mormon women. Doc the sociopath has charmed many in the town.
There is another disturbing dimension, that the doctor is not Mormon, and heads his own Christian church in town. An ugly anti-Mormon tone starts to dominate the case, and the victims are shunned and blamed as Doc faces the justice system.
The spectre of religious hatreds tearing a community apart, while abused women are blamed for causing all the trouble and the littlest victims of a truly evil child molester are ignored, is so confusing, so upsetting...and this happened in the 1980's! It sounds like another century, but it's not! It's just hard to believe, and the recording is hard to turn off. Excellent investigative reporting, and excellent, unemotional 'just-the-facts-ma'am' narration that suits this True Crime story.
This story is so, so disturbing; how can this be?

Would you listen to Doc: The Rape of the Town of Lovell again? Why?
This is such a disturbing story of how an arrogant doctor could prey on the innocence of so many women even when confronted with the facts. Jack Olson really delves into the characters, and we discover the innocence of the LDS women who are somewhat ripe for the scheming of such a devious character.Have you listened to any of Kevin Pierce’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes, I listened to Kevin Pierce narrate "Son", another Jack Olson story of a disturbed and criminal man who preyed on women. He does a nice jib of telling the story without adding drama where there doesn't need to be any, and making the facts sound more factual than sensational.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
The most extreme reactions I had was anger and contempt. How could this educated, religiously moral man be so contemptuous of a group of females as to rape them without conscious? He was the father of daughters. He put himself and his family on a pedestal, and he never tried to apologize to the many women he had wronged because he seemed to think they deserved it, after all, he was a good man, a church leader, a valued member of the community.. His wife and daughters could never accept that this rapist was the same man they knew, and he was able to hide it so that some of the women he showed such contempt for actually defended him before the truth all came out. . He was totally in denial through it all, never admitting his role as a rapist. I felt terrible for the women in his life that couldn't accept the facts.Well researched story of incredibly arrogant md

What made the experience of listening to Doc: The Rape of the Town of Lovell the most enjoyable?
This is my first Jack Olsen book and I loved it. He was meticulous in his research. Heart rending story! I liked his writing so much I just bought his Give a Boy a Gun and I am looking forward to another great bookWhat was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?
Dr. John Story - what a narcissistic little man! How does someone take advantage of innocent women over and over again?!?!What does Kevin Pierce bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I've read that Kevin Pierce was boring to listen to so the only reason I did was because I really wanted to listen to this book but I was pleasantly surprised. I actually really enjoyed him. I thought he kept the story moving and I felt his sympathy in his words.What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?
That I grew up not too far from there in the 70's and had no idea this had happened. I am LDS and while I consider myself relatively well read, I was truly shocked how misunderstood our religion still is. I mean, I knew what was thought many, many years ago but was amazed that people still think of us as narrow-minded women who can't think for ourselves and need a man to tell us what to do and how to live. It's not a criticism of other's opinions, just a surprise.Any additional comments?
This is a tough book to listen to because it is horribly tragic but I thoroughly enjoyed it. If you like detail and meticulous research, then this is a story I think you will enjoy.Holy Cow!

Sensitivity is used in dealing with the religious angles, neither side is painted as a good or bad side. In the end, I knew who the bad guy was, it had nothing to do with religion.
Horrifying Account of Abuse of Power and Trust

Olsen is one of the consummate true crime writers and tells this tale of woe as it develops from crime to trial to prison with some discussion of the aftermath for both victims and perp and their supporters. It seems preposterous that so many women could be raped or molested during pelvic exams for so many years without doing something about it. Had I been a juror I'm certain I would have voted "guilty."
Less satisfying is the lack of explanation for Story's motivation. He never fesses up; never admits his crimes. In fact, he denies that he is guilty. So we are left with speculating on various theories: a little guy complex, a hatred of women, a hatred of minorities and Mormons. We can be certain he was guilty but can never be certain as to why.
It was a crime that tore a community to pieces.
Why did he do it?
