Deep Dive into a Century Old Series of Murders
Revisado: 10-12-22
So much research went into this book- it's astounding considering how long ago it was. The authors explain which cases are connected, which are not & share with readers or listeners why. Investigators back in the late 1800's & early 1900's looked at the axe murders committed in a very myopic manner. Had they looked outside of each community or at the modus operandi things might have been different & the suspect apprehended. But this was before profiling & crime scene analysis. The Jameses did a fantastic job with this book & I believe they've solved the mystery of who killed so many families around the US & likely in Germany. I was captivated by the level of detail and the retelling of the stories about the victims. Not just their unfortunate demise, but about their lives as well. Get this book!! It's very good. In spite of the subject matter being tragic, the authors treat it with respect.

Fascinating Story on a Whole Other Level
Revisado: 01-12-22
This podcast is based on 20 years of research and reporting by Vicky Ward. Ms. Ward's initial 'easy' assignment was to write about Jeffrey Epstein for Vanity Fair magazine back in 2002 as she awaited the birth of her twins. Ward was trying to find out how Epstein who came from modest means in Brooklyn, and had no formal education had rapidly accumulated vast wealth along with mysterious connections to rich and powerful people not just in the US, but worldwide.
People like Ghislaine Maxwell daughter of Robert Maxwell a UK media mogul- and how Ghislaine's years in Epstein's life as his girlfriend/best friend have essentially destroyed her otherwise seemingly charmed life. Ghislaine was involved, but just how involved remains somewhat unclear since she's not talking to prosecutors, nor anyone else.
In 2002 where the reporting begins the now well known sorrid sex trafficking claims hadn't yet come out, but Ms. Ward uncovered two claims of abuse. Which was just the tip of the iceberg.
Through each episode of the podcast the entire complicated story (one Epstein himself very much wanted to keep quiet) gets pieced together, and it's quite astounding what a conniving, duplicitous person Jeffrey Epstein was. He was grifting on a grand scale, but somehow maintaining a reputation that camouflaged it all.
The entire story is far more complicated, fascinating and horrible than I had ever thought.
I binged the entire podcast series in two days. Really credit to Vicky Ward for her outstanding job uncovering the truth and putting together so many pieces of this utterly complex story. It took many years to do so, and questions still remain since Epstein died and Ghislaine is incarcerated.
Absolutely worth your time to listen!
