PARTNERS IN TRUE CRIME Rob and Cindy Dorfmann

THE WORK THAT LAURA BRAND DOES WITH SERIAL KILLERS IS A SOLITARY OCCUPATION.  MOST OF THE TIME IT’S JUST LAURA SITTING IN THE CAGE ALONE WITH THE WORLD’S WORST HUMAN BEINGS.  LET’S BE HONEST, THERE’S NOT A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE DOING THIS TYPE OF WORK, BUT THERE ARE OTHERS AND LAURA DOES RUN INTO THEM OCCASIONALLY. PETER VRONSKI IS A CANADIAN AUTHOR, FILMMAKER, AND FORENSIC HISTORIAN.  HE HOLDS A PHD IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE HISTORY AND ESPIONAGE.  BUT WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT HIM, LIKE LAURA, IS THAT HE HAS BEEN TALKING TO THE TORSO KILLER, RICHARD COTTINGHAM, TO EXTRACT INFORMATION ABOUT HIS MISSING VICTIMS. TODAY IS PART ONE OF OUR TWO PART INTERVIEW WITH DR. PETER VRONSKI, WHO BY HIS OWN ADMISSION NEVER THOUGHT HE’D EVER BE MEETING SERIAL KILLERS LET ALONE TALKING TO THEM.  SO LETS HERE WHAT HE HAS TO SAY.

THE ONLY WAY WE ARE GOING TO GET ANSWERS IN THIS CASE IS TO GO BACK TO THE BEGINNING BECAUSE MANY OF THOSE EARLY TIPS AND POLICE REPORTS HAD STORIES THAT WERE CONSISTENT AND NAMES THAT HAVE SHOWN UP MULTIPLE TIMES LIKE JASON DILLARD.  TODAY WE ARE GOING TO DIVE INTO SOME OF THOSE POLICE REPORTS FROM THE EARLY DAYS OF THE INVESTIGATION BY THE WILSON POLICE DEPARTMENT. THESE POLICE REPORTS WERE ACTUALLY VERY THOROUGH AND DETAILED- THE OFFICER WHO TOOK THESE STATEMENTS DID A VERY GOOD JOB. WE WILL BE READING DIRECTLY FROM SOME OF THESE POLICE REPORTS SO OUR LISTENERS CAN UNDERSTAND WHY SOME OF THESE NAMES HAVE BEEN COMING UP OVER THE YEARS… WE HAVE BLEEPED OUT MANY OF THE NAMES THAT HAVE NOT BEEN DISCUSSED IN THE MEDIA TO PROTECT THEIR IDENTITIES. PAULA IS GOING TO JOIN US TO GO OVER SOME OF THESE REPORTS AND TIPS.
