Asteroids Our Cosmic Influencers

BD Salerno received her undergraduate and graduate education at Rutgers University and her secondary education in New York City, where she trained in medical massage therapy, acupuncture, and other holistic modalities. Her eclectic interests - alternative healing, metaphysics, and true crime - focus on understanding what makes things tick.

Salerno combined her love for astrology with her fascination for true crime and published two books on the astrology of crime: Forensics by the Stars in 2012, and Exploring Forensic Astrology in 2016. The astrology of the nurses' mass murder was what clued her in to the notion that all was not what it had always seemed.

In this book, three years in the making, Salerno has taken a deep dive into a crime that disturbed her greatly as a young girl - the mass murder of eight nurses by Richard Speck in 1966 Chicago. Her findings were nothing short of shocking, leading her to the conclusion that the crime did not happen as we were told. We didn't get the true story the first time around. You can read it now here.
