Blood Stained: When No One Comes
Looking

“A few biographical rules are broken in this chilling
chronicle of serial killer David Edward Maust's life, which is
precisely why it stands apart from others in this category.
That it's written as a novel isn't a new twist, nor are the
numerous legal and psychological reports and articles that
are included within its pages. Nor are the recreations of the
crimes. What makes it different to me is that it felt like Mrs.
Maust partnered this undertaking with ghosts!

"That is eerie! Not only did I feel like I was there in every
moment, but I constantly felt chills, and the little hairs on
my neck stood on end because I truly felt like I was inside
David’s head. Other books I have read on serial killers
have been great with facts, details and creative writing, but
the eerie psychological plane Mrs. Maust used in narrating
most of her book overwhelmed all of those other aspects
and left me enthralled. It’s strange and emotional but an
overall brilliant read!”

David Maust violently murdered five teenage boys and violently assaulted twelve others. Why? Rumors
have been wrong! Based on David's autobiography that he penned in jail before he committed suicide, now
the real truth is told in this chilling account of his life.

After being sexually molested by his mother, falsely committed to a psych ward in Chicago and then
running away to join the Army, this is a tale of utter disbelief in system failures, innocence lost and
schizophrenia.

“When I got locked up in the Army, and then especially when I got locked up in 1981, I knew I should never
be let out again. I didn’t know how to act around other people and I was never taught how to make friends
and keep them. When an inmate says he doesn’t want out, I hope that somebody listens.”

- David Maust, October 30, 2005


“David Maust was a one-of-a-kind client, with an out-sized drive for self-understanding and atonement. He
was capable of horrific violence with an equal capacity for contrition. David was genuinely sorry for hurting
others, right up to the time he did it again.”

- Thomas Vanes, David’s Defense Attorney


“Her book brings to light important issues that need to be addressed. It is our hope that those who read
this will realize the importance of changing things in the legal system and in our own personal lives with
our families…David was unlike anyone I had interviewed throughout my police career. And David told me
he would have killed again if he hadn’t been caught.”

- Retired Hammond Detective, Lt. Ron Johnson



*Special Note*
Dory's husband is not related to David Maust as some sources are claiming. IF there is a
relation it is so distant they don't know about it; that was the original quote.
