Résumé
Hunting Ground: Walter Earl Ellis, the Milwaukee North Side Strangler, and the System That Let Him Kill Between 1986 and 2007, Walter Earl Ellis murdered nine women on Milwaukee's north side. He was not caught for twenty-three years. This is not a story about a killer who was difficult to find. It is a story about a system that was not looking. Hunting Ground is the full account of the Ellis case - the murders, the institutional failures, the wrongful convictions, and the forensic reckoning that finally produced his arrest in September 2009.
Ellis operated for more than two decades under conditions that American cities manufacture with terrible efficiency: a geography of racial and economic abandonment, a police department that assigned lower investigative priority to the deaths of poor Black women, and an informant arrangement that transformed a documented predator into a protected state asset. While he killed, two innocent men - Chaunte Ott and William Avery - were convicted of his crimes through fabricated confessions and coerced testimony.
A DNA database failure allowed him to walk free in 2001 without leaving a genetic trace. Walten Geary reconstructs every dimension of this case with the unflinching rigour it demands: the lives of the nine women, the machinery of wrongful conviction, the forensic science that finally named Ellis, and the structural conditions that made all of it possible. Hunting Ground is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand what American justice looks like when it fails the people it was built to protect.
