    43. Women Who Love Serial Killers Charles Manson, Ted Bundy, Richard Ramirez, and Wade Wilson. The list goes on and on.

    50. A Case of Fatal Attraction

    50. A Case of Fatal Attraction Rebecca Schaeffer was a 23-year-old actress at the beginning of what promised to be a great acting career. Former Beatle John Lennon was already a legend. After a five-year hiatus, he returned to music with the release of his album, Double Fantasy. It would win a Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Both of them were senselessly cut down in their prime by stalkers. This week, I speak with Frank Perri about stalkers.

    48. A Case of Self Defense

    48. A Case of Self Defense Did George Zimmerman have a reasonable fear of imminent harm when he confronted Trayvon Martin? What about teenager Kyle Rittenhouse during the 2010 riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin? When is it self-defense – and when is it murder? This week, I talk with Texas private investigator Amy Ward about these two well-known self-defense cases and three other self-defense cases that are not so well-known. What is required to make a successful self-defense claim? We also discuss the Stand Your Ground laws and Duty to Retreat.  In episode 48, I speak with Amy Ward. Amy Ward is a licensed private investigator and the CEO of Investigative Results, based in San Marcos, Texas. With over 17 years of experience in the industry, she’s built an impressive career handling a wide range of cases, from wrongful death and criminal defense investigations to insurance fraud, workers’ compensation, and pretrial litigation investigations. She is particularly skilled in interview-based investigations, focusing on criminal defense, witness interviews, and pretrial litigation. Before her investigative career, she worked as a Corporate Loss Prevention Associate and as a social worker, helping at-risk youth and survivors of domestic violence. Amy is a US Army veteran.

    47. The Louder Prison Redemption

    47. The Louder Prison Redemption Portia was indicted for mortgage fraud and sent to federal prison for seven years. Few places are more awful than prisons. The despair is palpable, but she held on to the one thing that could never be taken from her: hope. Or, as Andy Dufresne said in The Shawshank Redemption, “Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies.” In episode 47, I speak with Portia Louder. Portia Louder owned a busy wedding photography business in Utah but began selling real estate in the early 2000s.  In 2004, She was investigated, indicted for mortgage fraud, and sentenced to seven years in federal prison. She left her husband, Chad, and their five children behind and served four and a half years.  Portia recounts her time in prison in her memoir Living Louder: A Compassionate Journey Through Federal Prison. It documents her experiences and how she found the courage to change her life, move past her mistakes, and create a new future for herself.  THIS EPISODE CONTAINS SUBJECT MATTER THAT MAY BE INAPPROPRIATE FOR SOME AUDIENCES.

    46. The Human Lie Detector

Nejolla has used Scientific Content Analysis (SCAN) in embezzlement, fraud, arson, and other investigations. In episode 46, I speak with Nejolla Korris. Nejolla Korris is an expert in Linguistic Lie Detection, the CEO of InterVeritas International, and a highly sought-after speaker on linguistic lie detection. She has worked in about 40 countries with multiple clients, including corporations, government, law enforcement, and the military.
