In PATHOLOGICAL: The Murderous Rage Of Dr. Anthony Garcia, authors Henry J. Cordes and Todd Cooper, who covered the story for the Omaha World-Herald, recount the dramatic tale of deep-seated revenge, determined detectives, and the sensational trial of the doctor-turned-serial killer. Detective Derek Mois wasn’t sure what he was dealing with when in March 2008 he walked into a home in an affluent Omaha neighborhood and was confronted with the bodies of an 11-year-old boy and the housekeeper. Both had been murdered with kitchen knives plunged into their throats. Five years later, a strikingly similar crime occurred in which two more victims were brutally murdered with knives expertly thrust into their jugular veins.  More information at WildBlue Press *********************************************************************** More from ImaginePublicity on Air: http://imaginepublicity.com/podcasts/ Follow on Twitter @ImaginePublicty Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ImaginePublicity/ Music: Bensound.Com

WRECKING CREW goes deep into Making a Murderer and the effort to expose the truth in the case of Steven Avery.  In 2016-17, while working for the USA TODAY NETWORK’s Wisconsin Investigative Team, author John Ferak wrote dozens of articles examining the murder case against Steven Avery, who had already beat one wrongful conviction only to be charged with the murder of Teresa Halbach in 2005. The case became the wildly successful Netflix “Making A Murderer” documentary. In WRECKING CREW: Demolishing The Case Against Steven Avery, Ferak lays out in exacting detail the post-conviction strategy of Kathleen Zellner, the high-profile, high-octane lawyer, to free Avery. To write this book, Zellner, perhaps America’s most successful wrongful conviction attorney, gave Ferak unfettered access to the exhaustive pro bono efforts she and her small suburban Chicago law firm dedicated for a man she believes to be a victim of an unscrupulous justice system in Manitowoc County.

The story of Rocco Balliro, a petty criminal and enforcer for New England crime boss Raymond L.S. Patriarca, played out in glaring headlines across the country following the shootout with the Boston police. Had he heeded the commands of the cops to drop his weapon, Rocco would not have spent the next fifty years behind bars, and his girlfriend and her son might still be alive today. Instead, he fired the gun, erupting death and mayhem in the apartment. In the aftermath of the shootings, all fingers pointed at Rocco. But he would maintain his innocence in the death of his girlfriend and her son for the rest of his life, though plagued with lingering questions. “A real page-turner for Mob enthusiasts and organized crime history buffs.

Talking Through Death examines communication at the end-of-life from several different communication perspectives: interpersonal (patient, provider, family), mediated, and cultural. By studying interpersonal and family communication, cultural media, funeral related rituals, religious and cultural practices, medical settings, and legal issues surrounding advance directives, readers gain insight into the ways symbolic communication constructs the experience of death and dying, and the way meaning is infused into the process of death and dying. The book looks at the communication-related health and social issues facing people and their loved ones as they transition through the end of life experience. It reports on research recently conducted by the authors and others to create a conversational, narrative text that helps students, patients, and medical providers understand the symbolism and construction of meaning inherent in end-of-life communication. Dr. Deborah C. Breede, a Professor of Communication, teaches

At TTP we have noticed something we find very concerning: the number of death cases that are ruled as suicides with little or no investigation by the authorities. We are not simply talking about survivors of victims who don’t want to believe their loved one would have taken his or her own life. The cases we are talking about are more than mere “gut feelings.” These are incidents in which the survivors cite compelling evidence that there was a rush to judgement by the authorities in reaching the suicide conclusion. Joining us to discuss this issue will be Lynda Cheldelin Fell. Lynda is an award-winning author, the creator of the Grief Diaries books and Grief Diaries: Project Cold Case, and CEO of AlyBlue Media.     The Transparency Project on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetransparenceyproject/ Music: Bensound.Com

Guests: Gil Harrington and Jane Lilian Vance of Help Save the Next Girl Help Save the Next Girl, the powerful non-profit foundation formed in the wake of Morgan Harrington’s 2009 murder, has reached an international stage. But President and Founder, Morgan’s mother Gil Harrington, and Vice President, artist Jane Lillian Vance, still insist on delivering compassion personally, not as an industry. They have hand-folded and packaged every one of the thousands of Help Save the Next Girl shirts you see in Asia, Africa, Europe, Australia; in New York, Chicago, or Portland. “I like my hand to warm every single shirt we send out with a prayer for safety and joy,” Gil says. In fact, whenever possible, they insist on spreading their empowering messages of safety, community, and civic responsibility one person, or one small audience, at a time. Gil and Jane believe that the work of acknowledging neighbors’—even strangers’—humanity and divinity can happen every day, wherever you are, whoever you are. As Gil says, “
