I am excited about being a part of “Explore Memphis 2017” at the Benjamin L. Hooks Library because I get to share my new book “She is Evil!” And I can spend the day in a library. My mom was single, a working mom Monday-Friday. The weekend was our own. Because we did not have a lot of money, we spent time visiting low-cost or free venues. My favorite was the library. We took the bus to the McCreless Branch Library and spend hours perusing the … [Read more...]

Detective Kenneth Mains On Why He Decided To Tell His Story In UNSOLVED NO MORE
The reason I decided to write this book is because I believe in doing the right thing. All too many times I see victims families not have any rights when it comes to cold cases. Law enforcement will tell them that they are still working the case and will not provide them with the opportunity to have a fresh set of eyes look at the case. As a veteran of law enforcement, I understand that the reason we do this is to not jeopardize the case in … [Read more...]

What do you do when you suddenly don’t have anything to do? I found myself in that position upon my retirement in 1994. I had been in law enforcement and investigations for twenty years and went to work every day. I actually looked forward to it.
