The Charmer: The True Story of Robert Reldan - Rapist, Murderer and Millionaire -- and the Women who Fell Victim to his Allure

Three victims testify, and a serial rapist learns: Leave no witnesses! Serial rapist/murderer Robert Reldan, a Ted Bundy-like charmer, had an engaging smile. A smile that inspired trust. A smile that would, over the next 20 years, cause a dozen unsuspecting women to drop their guard and place themselves under the power of one of New Jersey's most ruthless criminals. Two of those women (Susan Heynes, a nurse, and Susan Reeve, a recent college graduate) achieved unwanted fame as victims in what a prominent newspaper would call "the Susan strangulations." When their nude and battered bodies were discovered, each had been strangled with her own pantyhose. While in prison awaiting trial for the Susan murders, Reldan tried to hire a hit man to kill his wealthy aunt. In an ironic twist of fate, Reldan would become, briefly, the wealthiest lifer in the prison system. The aunt he'd tried to have killed, still charmed by her beloved nephew, left him an $8.9 million trust fund when she died.
