In March 2009, pretty, vivacious Rhonda Casto plunged to her death from a 300-foot cliff in the Oregon woods. The only witness, Stephen Nichols, the father of her nine-month-old baby, Annie, told police investigators she slipped and fell. Yet, Nichols’ story didn’t mesh with the facts. And some of his other actions raised suspicions as well, including just days after her death trying to collect on a million-dollar life insurance policy he’d … [Read more...]

THE SHAWCROSS LETTERS Co-Author John Paul Fay Discusses His Experience On The Dr. Phil Show
Watch the show on August 29th, 2018! Some family and associates were sure that Dr. Phil would "demolish" me. And one or two even voiced their concerns that Phil might upset me to a point of throttling the ever-popular daytime talk show host with my bare hands. Briefly, I somewhat believed them and I allowed the horror show of naysayers to rent space in my already over-taxed head. I'd nearly given up hope or the will to even try for the … [Read more...]

Investigation Discovery Show Previews Case Behind New True Crime By Steve Jackson
The Real Story With Maria Elena Salinas Gives Taste Of "SAVING ANNIE" As with most true crime television documentaries, especially involving a case with as many moving pieces and storylines as are involved in my new book, SAVING ANNIE, the creators of "Fall of Innocence" made some mistakes, got some things wrong, and barely touched on many of the facts. Prior to airing, the producer acknowledged that even at an hour, the show could only … [Read more...]
THE BEAST I LOVED’s Robert Davidson Warns “Don’t Believe The Con Man”
Domestic violence is all about power and the need to control, which comes from the monumental insecurity virtually all batterers suffer from. Like little children, they have a constant, nagging, inescapable fear of abandonment that they never outgrew like normal children do, and so carry around their warped perception of a fearful world that leads so reliably—and unfairly—to the abuse of their partners. Because most batterers have experienced … [Read more...]

BULLIED TO DEATH: A Story Of Bullying, Social Media, And The Suicide Of Sherokee Harriman
Do you think I’m pretty. No one likes me. I hate my life. I wish I had a friend. It was the mantra of fourteen-year-old Sherokee Harriman, who in September 2015 faced her alleged bullies in a small Tennessee public park and pulled out a concealed kitchen knife. She drove the knife into her stomach as the horrified teens watched. Local media focused on sensationalism rather than truth. The word “bullicide” was used, meaning bullying drove … [Read more...]
