    STARKWEATHER MURDER SPREE -- JEFF MCARTHUR

    Jeff McArthur is always an excellent guest! His book, Pro Bono is a true crime classic!In 1958, 19-year-old Charlie Starkweather went on a murder spree that paralyzed Nebraska, shocked the nation, and left 11 people dead. With him when he was captured was his 14-year-old ex-girlfriend Caril Fugate. The question soon arose, was Caril a kidnapped victim, or a heartless accomplice?Appointed to her case, attorney John McArthur initially accepted the assignment out of a sense of constitutional duty. But as he delved deeper, he found that the truth was far more complicated than anyone was letting on. Up against incredible odds, and with a strong conviction of her innocence, McArthur remained with Caril and fought for her freedom for 18 years. For this service, he took no pay, accepting the case pro bono.This book follows the long struggle of McArthur, his partner Merril Reller, and John's son James as they took on the Nebraska legal system and a public that had already determined Caril's guilt before ever hearing a word of testimony. The story continues through all it influenced, such as Stephen King, who became a horror writer because of it, Bruce Springsteen, who wrote a whole album about it, Terrence Malick, Oliver Stone, Martin Sheen, and Peter Jackson, who wrote his first major movie based on the Starkweather-Fugate incident.

    7 PREDATORS IN DETROIT AT ONCE!

    SPECIAL GUEST G.H. CLIFF author of SERIAL CITY At the turn of the twenty-first century, Detroit investigators faced a nightmare few police divisions ever encounter: multiple serial predators operating at the same time, in the same city, often targeting vulnerable victims in overlapping neighborhoods. To the public, the crimes appeared scattered. A schoolgirl attacked on her way to class. A woman assaulted before dawn. A victim deceived, coerced, or ambushed. A body discovered. Separate incidents. Separate headlines. Inside Detroit’s Major Crimes Division, a more disturbing picture began to form. As detectives compared reports, victim statements, timelines, geography, and behavior, the investigation became something far more difficult than a search for a single suspect. The city was not hunting one predator. It was hunting several. G. H. Cliff, Ph.D., is a former police chief, law enforcement commander, and investigative analyst specializing in complex investigations, behavioral risk, compliance, cybercrime, and exploitation dynamics. He has directed national white-collar crime research, supported DOJ compliance work, co-authored true crime books, and published on investigative methodology, public safety, and organizational behavior.

    COCAINE WARS IN MIAMI -- SEAN OLIVER & RAUL DIAZ

    Colombian cocaine godmother Griselda Blanco and her assassins swept through the city with a bloody and ruthless ambition that left countless dead bodies along the way. Lt. Diaz organized and spearheaded the multi-agency task force CENTAC-26 to combat Blanco and the cartels. Raul came to the US at age thirteen accompanied by only his younger brother and overcame insurmountable odds after finally finding law enforcement as his calling. He never did things the traditional way, and that wasn’t a popular position in the regulated world of police work. His successes came at a costly price, both professionally and personally, putting him in the crosshairs of those with an axe to grind, shockingly on both sides of law enforcement. The man profiled in books, documentaries, and the Netflix series Griselda is here to share the story previously told by others—now, finally told by the one man who knows the truth behind every kilo, kidnapping, and corpse.

During his 13 years of service with MDPD he received numerous commendations and awards from the US Congress; federal, state and local agencies; private citizens and organizations; and foreign governments. Raul retired honorably from the department in 1983 with the rank of lieutenant and entered private practice by founding ICDA Investigations, where he still serves as President and CEO.

    LYING IN WAIT -- HOWARD FRANK IS OUR GUEST

    A Sniper in the Woods - and a Town Under Siege. The 48-Day Manhunt That Terrorized America. A Silent Forest. A Sniper’s Bullet. A Community Held Hostage. On the night of September 12, 2014, the autumnal quiet of the Pocono Mountains was shattered by the crack of a .308-caliber rifle. At the Pennsylvania State Police barracks in Blooming Grove, Corporal Bryon Dickson and Trooper Alex Douglass fell, victims of a calculated ambush launched from the darkness of the treeline. The shooter was not a phantom, but a neighbor: Eric Matthew Frein, a survivalist and military reenactor who had spent years preparing for a private war against the state. As Frein vanished into the dense, unforgiving woodlands he knew intimately, he sparked one of the largest and most expensive manhunts in American history. It also landed him on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted list. Lying in Wait takes readers deep inside the forty-eight-day siege that transformed a peaceful region into a "Green Hell" of fear and paranoia. From the terrified silence of lockdown to the high-tech war room of the pursuit, Howard Frank reconstructs the harrowing search for a "mission-oriented killer" who viewed murder as an art form. Drawing on forensic reports, court transcripts, interviews with key players, and the killer’s own chilling journals, this is the definitive account of a domestic terrorist who mistook his own delusions for revolution, and the relentless machinery of justice that rose to meet him. Howard Frank is an award-winning journalist, a senior content writer and a native New Yorker. Howard transitioned from a successful career in the fashion industry to spend over a decade as a frontline reporter, eventually bringing his investigative rigor to the world of high-level scientific instrumentation. A dedicated mental health advocate and true crime author, Frank specializes in the shadowed architecture of the criminal psyche. He is the author of two gripping works that explore the extremes of human experience: TALK TO THE DEVIL - A raw, tear-stained memoir of surviving severe clinical depression, hailed for its unflinching honesty and its role in breaking the silence surrounding mental illness, and CHAMELEON: A chilling, meticulously researched account of a double murder in the Poconos, praised for its deep-dive into the fractured mind of killer Michael John Parrish. From the precision of the laboratory to the dark corners of the forensic world, Frank remains a singular voice in the study of the human condition. About Author Howard Frank
