 #25-Vince Palamara-Survivor's Guilt: The Secret Service and the Failure to Protect President Kennedy | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 4000

Painstakingly researched by an authority on the history of the Secret Service and based on primary, firsthand accounts from more than 80 former agents, White House aides, and family members, this is the definitive account of what went wrong with John F. Kennedy’s security detail on the day he was assassinated. The work provides a detailed look at how JFK could and should have been protected and debunks numerous fraudulent notions that persist about the day in question, including that JFK ordered agents off the rear of his limousine; demanded the removal of the bubble top that covered the vehicle; and was difficult to protect and somehow, directly or indirectly, made his own tragic death easier for an assassin or assassins. This book also thoroughly investigates the threats on the president’s life before traveling to Texas; the presence of unauthorized Secret Service agents in Dealey Plaza, the site of the assassination; the failure of the Secret Service in monitoring and securing the surrounding buildings, overhangs, and rooftops; and the surprising conspiratorial beliefs of several former agents. An important addition to the canon of works on JFK and his assassination, this study sheds light on the gross negligence and, in some cases, seeming culpability, of those sworn to protect the president

 #17-Texas I-45 Killing Field Murders | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 2567

DELIVER US Three decades of murder and redemption in the infamous I-45/​Texas Killing Fields My work began in 2011. That fall, I decided to tackle a book I'd considered for more than a decade, to research and write about the I-45 and the Texas Killing Field murders, the unsolved slaughter of nearly twenty young women from 1970 through 2000 south of Houston, on and around one of the busiest highways in America. From 1971 through 1978, eleven girls died. The first, Colette Wilson, waited for her mother to pick her up on a quiet country road. Only minutes late, her mother arrived to find her daughter gone. The nightmare endured for decades, as no one was ever arrested or tried for Colette's murder. In the years that followed, one after another, teenage girls disappeared and died, brutally murdered, as a monster roamed Galveston Island and the nearby small towns and cities. In the 1980s, a quiet oil field off Calder Drive in League City, Texas, gained the nickname The Texas Killing Field. Four women's bodies were found abandoned there, two unidentified to this day. Tim Miller's daughter Laura was among the dead. Consumed by grief, he battled his demons, eventually founding a nationwide search organization in her honor. He's helped hundreds of families and found redemption, but Miller still searches for the identity of Laura's killer. Will he ever know? Family legend holds that 13-year-old Krystal Jean Baker was a great niece of screen icon Marilyn Monroe. A pretty girl, Krystal angrily stormed off after an argument with her grandmother. The year was 1996, and hours later Krystal's brutalized body was found under a highway bridge. She'd been strangled. For fourteen years, her despondent mother begged for justice. An evidence clerk in Chambers County took an interest, and that made all the difference. It brought a killer into a courtroom, one who suggested he might be responsible for multiple murders. Deliver Us is a book of stories, an account of the murders of young women in the shadow of the nation's fourth largest city, on and around the 50-mile stretch of the I-45/​Gulf Freeway corridor south of Houston ending on Galveston Island. Families and friends of the dead vividly recount final memories and the terror that followed, and behind prison walls prime suspects admit or deny guilt.

 #4- Bank Holiday Murders! Tom Wescott | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 4248

***WINNER*** Indie Reader Award for Best True Crime Book*** ***WINNER***Independent Publisher (IPPY) Bronze Medal Award for Best History Book 2014*** ***FINALIST*** Indie Excellence Award for Best True Crime Book (second place)*** Jack the Ripper stalked the streets of London’s East End from August through November of 1888 in what is dubbed the ‘Autumn of Terror’. However, the grisly ripping of Polly Nichols on August 31st was not the first unsolved murder of the year. The April murder of Emma Smith and the August murder of Martha Tabram both occurred on bank holidays. They baffled the police and press alike and were assumed by the original investigators to have been the first murders in the series. Where they correct? In this provocative work of literary archeology, author Tom Wescott places these early murders in their proper historical context and digs to unearth new evidence and hard facts not seen in over 125 years. The Bank Holiday Murders is the only book of its kind
