We are so Pleased to be having "William Pfirrman"
“Nightmare in Aurora”
Bill is a Vietnam Era veteran who for the past 40 years has
lived this Nightmare. This is a true story of a battle he fought against first,
the local police, and then both the local authorities and the U.S. Air Force,
the second battle the result of a betrayal by his one-time friend and roommate
is now being told.
Nightmare in Aurora is a fictionalized tale, based on
an actual horrific and nearly deadly event and the people, who were involved,
whether willingly or by sheer chance, do actually exist. From the main
character, Charley and his roommate, Tom, to the lead detectives charged with
seeking the truth in this tale of lies and deceit, to the crime scene
investigators and the witnesses, they are all actual persons and all played a
role in the search for the truth and justice. In every case, I have changed the
names of those depicted here. However, the book contains many of the actual
police reports written by the different police officers involved in all aspects
of the investigation. Reports filed by the lead detectives in the case, by
crime scene investigators, uniformed officers that had responded to calls for
help from one of their own, as well as from Charley and his roommate Tom, who
at first believed to be suspects, were actually victims. Also included are the
reports filed by the trigger-happy, newly promoted, deceitful detective
responsible for this event in its entirety. Even the statements collected from
witnesses to the carnage described are included and told in their own words.
However, in an attempt to allow the reader to see and understand the entire
story as it unfolded, some of the content had to be dramatized. I have written
the book in the first person so the reader will feel as though they are sitting
across from Charley, the main character, as he takes you along as he describes
his life from his earliest memories. As your reading his story, he tells of the
traumas he experienced, the battles he was forced to fight growing up, and how
he learned to overcome powers much stronger than his own, right up to the
moment he relates the horrors he experienced in May of 1973 and the several
months following. This, I believe, will allow the reader to experience with
Charley everything he had to endure, during this five month long nightmare, as
though they were.
Excerpt: “Nightmare In Aurora”
Page: 69 on e-book First time “Charlie was in jail”
“This was the first time I had ever been
in a jail cell as a suspect of a crime. The cell, now my new home, was
approximately ten feet wide and twelve feet long, painted grey and built of
solid cender block construction without any windows, as it was below ground
level. It consisted of two sets of metal
bunk beds, anchored to the floor with two inch wide and one fourth inch thick
metal strips across it and serving as the springs, though they didn’t have any “give”
to them. A thin vinyl matress covered
those metal strips. Each bed had a grey blanket and a thin pillow. The cell also included a picnic style table,
also anchored to the floor with two picnic style benches grey and anchored to
the floor. In the corner was a
combination stainless steel toilet/sink.
A flood light built into the wall and covered by a heavy metal grate
painted grey provided light.”
How is everyone tonight?
