How fun. I appreciate the recognition for my rookie efforts to create a feature film script. I based this screenplay on my fictional thriller about unhinged animal-rights warriors. Hollywood and investigative journalists are the perfect pairing for creative storytelling.

I’m still wandering around with a campus map, but ready to start teaching & mentoring students @UofSC_SJMC next week. We’re going to have a lot of fun.

7 years ago, our investigative team handed detectives a roadmap to solve Marina Placencia's homicide. Denver police and DAs finally took action this week. Watch the @KDVR investigation and ask yourself, what more proof did they need? youtu.be/pzGHhqzXGMY?feature… via @YouTube

Our @irworkshop investigation found a staggering number of sexual harassment and assault incidents on VA school campuses. Districts report the horrible crimes and treatment of students, but who is responsible for making sure they stop happening? bit.ly/3VYPg5t #MeTooK12

Rare audio file released! It's a 1974 police hypnosis session. A potential witness recalls seeing a VW bug and a man with a cast at Lake Sammamish State Park -- the day Bundy kidnapped two women in broad daylight. Only to Patreon members! patreon.com/interviewwithevi…

I went to my office ⁦@AU_SOC⁩ last week. Clean. Quiet. A little eerie. Time stopped when COVID hit.

Exposing systematic abuse of animals and the people who profit from suffering gets the highest honor in my book. Nice work. #voicetothevoiceless

I do miss the pre-COVID days of reporting. Listening to someone tell their story through a mask just isn't the same. Journalists are going a great job improvising with safety in mind -- setting a good example -- but we are missing opportunities to connect on a deeper level.

Masks. Pleasant attitudes. Beautiful wx. Long lines. Folks in #FairfaxCounty aren’t waiting to add their voices to the #2020Election. #iVoted

Records obtained by @irworkshop show DC police bought $100,000 on munitions to shoot at protesters: Riot control grenades, tear gas, rubber bullets. Appears to be a nationwide trend.

Here's an unusual image of #Tedbundy. My hunt for anything unknown about the #Serialkiller unearthed some rare audio files of him admitting to all sorts of horrible things. Check out my new #truecrime podcast to hear his unredacted @FBI confessions . tinyurl.com/y5mvhnqc
