Investigation Discovery's annual ID Con could not be held in New York in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic - so it went virtual! The following is a short clip from the "Criminally Addicted" panel during a discussion about the Jeffery Epstein case. Enjoy!
Be Careful Who You Love – Audiobook

COURTS EXPLOIT SENIORS
"For several years I have been investigating the nationwide scourge of court-ordered guardianship for elders. It is often devastating for seniors and their families. This piece appeared at Real Clear Politics Investigations."

An Award Winning Series on Guardianship
My investigative research has uncovered a major flaw in America’s court system. It has to do with how overburdened and underfunded courts deal with family disputes over what to do with an elderly Mom or Dad. A growing number of families, nationwide, have learned that once a family member turns to the courts for help their parent could be placed under an odious elder guardianship situation managed by total stranger. Families caught up in this system say it turned their aging parent’s final years into a nightmare. These are my findings about the system in one state.

My Latest Book Has Landed!
Check out the cool trailer for my latest book. Just click in the box above.
Thinking Outside The Crime and Justice Box is a compilation of some of my favorite and most thought provoking columns – with updates and new text. The book discusses today’s headline crime cases as well as crime and justice issues readers may not realize even existed. Compelling human stories at the core of crime are often the centerpiece of my columns and reading about stranger’s struggles can help readers better understand the dynamics surrounding crime, law enforcement and justice. Look, there is good and evil in the world and I figure it is my job to point it out.
The e-book is available here: – here. The hold-in-your-hand book is coming soon! Thanks to the kind folks at Creators Publishing.

We Are Either the UNITED States or We Are Not
It was a desecration of our government’s seat of power. A sacrilege against our democracy. A shameful episode carried out by a relatively small mob of violent criminals who disgraced the otherwise peaceful, lawful assembly of countless thousands of earnest Americans who had traveled to Washington to express their distrust of the last election.
So, What’s the Future of the “Big, Beautiful” Border Wall?
How many times have you started a home improvement project and then found your budget for said project was totally unrealistic?
Sometimes it’s just smarter to stop the whole venture, take the loss and cover up the mess with some plywood or paint. Maybe you tell yourself you’ll get back to it someday.
Be Charitable But Also Be Careful
MacKenzie Scott has achieved what no other philanthropist has. With no massive Gates Foundation-like staff to assist her she sought out some of the neediest charitable groups in the nation and donated nearly $6 billion to them.
Six billion dollars. Think of that.
The Pandemic’s Invisible Victims
No two ways about it. This has been a lousy year. In so many ways our lives have been upended and in more than 300,000 American families tinged with the sorrow of losing a loved one to an invisible and insidious virus.
We have all felt so helpless and frustrated by not knowing the end-date of this worldwide calamity.
No 2020 Voter Fraud – Are We Sure?
Can we set aside politics for a minute and discuss the last election? Not about who won the presidency but about the election process itself. It was a convoluted mess.
First, let’s not simply swallow the idea that the 2020 election “was the most secure in U.S. history.”
We are a Frightened (and Heavily Armed) Nation
What do Americans do in these uncertain times? We buy guns. Millions and millions of guns. This year’s shopping spree has been a record-breaker. I’m not sure it has made us safer.
Of course, it is every American’s constitutionally protected right to own a firearm. But the massive surge in the number of firearm transactions so far in 2020 does lead one to wonder why so many of us want a gun – or more guns?
