'Cold Storage' is the true story of California's gruesome icebox killer. Denise Huber had been missing for three years when her body was found and the nightmare of her abduction and murder began to unfold.
I worked in Newport Beach and Irvine for several years and I used to drive by that sign "Have you seen Denise" all the time. For those of us who live and work in Orange County, this was just a very sad case. Incredibly, we just found out my brother works for the very Limo company mentioned in the book at the location of perhaps where the murder took place. And me, I used to drive by that warehouse all the time while driving to see the woman I was dating.....who lived in Laguna Hills. It was 1991 and 1992.
In Memory of Denise
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
We who walked through this horrifying ordeal with the Hubers believe that this book tells the story accurately. Since John Famalaro never testified in court, never talked to reporters or made any public statements, and never apologized to the Huber family, any attempts to tell the story from his point of view would have been fiction. Though Famalaro was sentenced to death in 1997, his first (and automatic) appeal has not even been filed. So he should have plenty of time to give Don Lasseter the material he needs for the sequel. Meanwhile, we will never forget Denise Huber... beautiful, happy, full of life and faith... and we look forward to spending eternity with her in the Kingdom of God "when everything sad will become untrue."
Gripping, page-turner

The only thing I didn't like about this book was the title. After I read this heart-wrenching, tragic story about the murder of Denise Huber, I thought the title was too insensitive. I wish the murderer would have come clean and filled in the blanks as to what happened that fateful night, but of course he never talked. But the author did a good job in getting us to know the killer without benefit of the killer's input.
I could not put this book down!

As soon as I started reading, I could not put this book down. Don Lasseter is an excellent writer. I appreciate the fact that he went into such detail regarding the people and circumstances involved and the investigation. I was touched by the huge amount of kindness and support that the Hubers' were given. I really like the fact there were pictures, it was nice to put a face with the names. Denise Huber was an exceptional person. Although I never met her, I feel the world has suffered by losing her. What a wonderful family she has. My heart goes out to them.Everyone should read this book. It lets you know the families, and it takes you through the investigation and the trial - every aspect interesting. You can tell there was tremendous research done with the entire book. This is one book I will keep and re-read.
The sadest book I have ever read.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This is by far the best written True Crime book I have ever read. I started reading it yesterday afternoon, and stayed awake until 4am to finish it. I don't know where in the world I was from 1991 until now because I had not heard about this crime. I just wish there was something I could do to help this family. I hope that everyone that reads this will take time out of their day and think of Denise Huber,so that she will NEVER be forgotten, she will forever be in my thoughts, she is now an angel up in heaven.
