Caitlin Rother Radio Interview: The Hazards of Investigative Journalism

Multi-genre crime maven and author of NAKED ADDICTION, Caitlin Rother, gave an in-depth interview on KPPV radio with DJ Phone. Caitlin described their conversation as follows:
“DJ Fone, who does an afternoon radio talk show “Q&A with DJ Fone” on KPPV in Prescott, AZ, the locale of my

Caitlin Rother 2014

upcoming book, THEN NO ONE CAN HAVE HER, had me on the radio for an hour on Tuesday, July 21, and got me going on my favorite soapbox and hot-button topics. We talked about the state of journalism today and the difference between real journalism and talking-head commentary. He asked me if I’d ever been threatened during or after controversial stories I’ve written and I told him about the series that led me to have an armed guard in my driveway to watch over me from sunset to sunrise for a whole week. In that vein, we also talked about the controversy and personal/professional attacks I endured after the publication of LOST GIRLS, and some of the exclusive and alarming facts I uncovered during my investigative research for that book. And a whole lot more… I’ll be back on this same show when my book comes out in November.”

NAKED ADDICTION WildBlue Press Classic

NAKED ADDICTION
Tired of working undercover narcotics, police detective Ken Goode wants a transfer to homicide. After the Camus-reading surfer finds the body of a beautiful woman in an alley, he is assigned to head a team of relief detectives with the hopes of proving he is homicide-worthy. As Goode explores the underbelly of the affluent coastal enclave of La Jolla, California, and its hipster neighbor, Pacific Beach, he clashes with the patrons and employees of a neighborhood bar: real estate agents and beauty school students who have possible ties to an escort service and a drug ring – and keep turning up dead. The untimely disappearance of Goode’s sister proves a worrisome distraction as he chases suspects and a dogged cub reporter chases him. In this intricately-layered plot, Rother’s characters use substances or other people to try to fill the empty spaces within themselves, with addictions ranging from sex, alcohol, cocaine and cigarettes to Goode’s own, caffeine and damaged women.

I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU

I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU
Femme fatale Nanette Packard had a knack for seducing, manipulating and victimizing a string of husbands and lovers, often simultaneously. A habitual liar, cheat and thief, this Supermom con artist was married three times, had four children and had spent millions by the time she and her lover, NFL linebacker Eric Naposki, went to trial for conspiring to murder Bill McLaughlin, her older entrepreneur fiance. Like and episode of "The Real Housewives of Orange County Gone Bad," this high-profile fatal love triangle case shows that the pressures to appear wealthy, cosmetically enhanced and mega-successful have only grown stronger.

LOST GIRLS

LOST GIRLS
The desperate search for two lost innocents from the San Diego area, teenagers Chelsea King and Amber Dubois, led authorities to a brutal predator hiding in plain sight: John Albert Gardner, a convicted sex offender who could have been returned to prison several times over. Rother delivers an incisive, heartbreaking story about case that galvanized its community, first by grief and goodwill, then by anger and injustice, as it came to grips with a flawed system that failed ... and adopted a law that will forever change how we keep our children safe.

POISONED LOVE

POISONED LOVE
Kristin Rossum had everything going for her -- beauty, brains, and the start of a brilliant toxicology career. But the 24-year-old San Diegan was torn between three relationships: one with her husband, who was found not breathing and covered with red rose petals; one with her married boss; and one with her old flame, crystal meth. This cautionary tale illustrates how an obsession for passion and easy access to narcotics can devastate not just one life, but many others in the process. In this updated edition, 16 pages of new developments about Rossum's appeals raise forensic questions about her conviction.

DEAD RECKONING

DEAD RECKONING
This is the authoritative story behind the high-profile murder of Tom and Jackie Hawks by a clan of outlaws led by Skylar and Jennifer Deleon. Skylar, a charming conman and hermaphrodite wanna-be, told the Hawkses he made big money as a child actor in the "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers," when in fact he had only two small non-speaking roles. He tied the couple to the anchor of their yacht and threw them overboard -- alive -- near Newport Beach, but not before forcing them to sign power-of-attorney documents so he could steal their boat and pillage their bank accounts.

TWISTED TRIANGLE

TWISTED TRIANGLE
This is the crazy but entirely factual account of a kidnapping, an attempted murder and a love triangle involving two married FBI agents, Margo and Gene Bennett, and crime novelist Patricia Cornwell. This story made international headlines when it broke in 1996, but Rother is the first writer to tell Margo's exclusive story. Co-authored with former FBI agent John Hess.

BODY PARTS

BODY PARTS
The true story behind the murders by serial killer and rapist Wayne Adam Ford, a long-haul trucker who was convicted of killing four women -- and dismembering two of them -- in four California counties. Sentenced in 2007, he is now sitting on death row in San Quentin state prison. Rother offers a comprehensive look at the case, which took eight years to get to trial, and reveal new and exclusive details about Ford and his family.

DEADLY DEVOTION

DEADLY DEVOTION
TV reporter Alysia Sofios risked her entire career to help the surviving female members of the Marcus Wesson family recover from a cult-like life of polygamy, incest, abuse -- and the mass murder of their nine children. Together, they helped each other grow and bond into a new resilient family with a hopeful future. Originally titled WHERE HOPE BEGINS, this book was co-authored by Sofios and Rother.
