True Crime Reporter®

Follow me from the crime scene to the prison cell block as I tell blood-chilling stories ripped from my reporter's notebook. I've sat across the table with some of the most violent and reprehensible convicts in Texas history as well as some that were downright brilliant. In my podcast and audiobooks, you'll hear exclusive interviews in police procedurals as I unravel the complexity and gravity of each case. I am deeply fascinated not just by the 'what' and the 'who' but by the often elusive 'why' behind criminal acts. You will hear stories from police beat reporters, true crime authors, law enforcement officers, prosecutors, criminal justice experts, crime victims, and convicted criminals. I also bring historical crime stories back to life by working with the Texas Prison Museum in Huntsville, Texas. During 3 decades of broadcast TV News, I reported from three war zones, The White House, Capitol Hill, The Pentagon, and the scene of earth-shaking news events. Before journalism, I was an investigator for a Congressional Defense Committee. Following my service in Congress, I worked on the field organizing staff of Jimmy Carter’s 1976 presidential campaign. Texas A&M University recognized me in 2001, with College of Architecture’s Outstanding Alumnus Award - an honor bestowed on less than 1% of graduates. I balance my high-octane professional life with the tranquility offered by horseback riding and companionship with my Great Dane.
