"Hidden beneath our outward surfaces are layers of ourselves that we never see and others never see. Sometimes we do see the 'red flag' layers and easily dismiss them. We accept these red flags as 'normal defects' that could be present in every single human being. I was one who did dismiss red flags. I didn't know people like this could exist. I was raised to love people and do no harm. I had much to learn! Paula writes a profound and passionate … [Read more...]

MY NEW BOOK, TARGETED, IS ABOUT A former Oglethorpe County Georgia sheriff’s deputy who claims to have been framed for a particularly brutal—for a female killer—murder. By whom, you ask? A few of her former fellow law enforcement officers—which has become somewhat of an ornamental and allegorical theme running through our (seemingly) “violent” and (seemingly) “corrupt” American law enforcement community today. We are living in an age of … [Read more...]

I am convinced that part of the “high” a serial killer gets from his murderous path of violence after he is arrested and facing the iron fist of justice is taking pleasure in the fact that he alone knows there are additional bodies (his victims) somewhere out in the world. What’s more, there is no doubt he will use those bodies as a bartering chip in dealing with law enforcement and/or the legal system when the time comes. Or, maybe the … [Read more...]
M. William Phelps: ON MURDERERS’ ROW SITS A PATHETIC, DESPERATE LIAR
There’s a certain familiarity with the sociopath one encounters after writing 30-plus books about one-off murderers and serial killers. Interviewing scores of these people, one tends to develop an almost inherent, instinctive sense for how they go about manufacturing and inventing lies, carefully orchestrating each one, and then inserting those lies into public discourse. Patricia “Pat” Olsen—the subject of “Murder in Massachusetts,” the … [Read more...]
