Want a straight answer on how homicide investigations actually work? We’re gathering at the Clark County Public Library in Winchester, Kentucky on Thursday February 5, 2026 at 6:00 PM, for an evening that swaps TV shortcuts for the real craft of solving serious crimes. I’ll share the nuts and bolts of building a case—from the first officer on scene to evidence processing, interview strategy, timelines, and the tight coordination with labs and prosecutors—so you can see why patience, documentation, and corroboration are the backbone of the work.

We go deep on mythbusting. Expect clear talk about DNA limitations and backlogs, what a “match” really means, how interview bias creeps in and gets checked, and why airtight chain of custody beats dramatic reveals every time. I’ll walk through ethical decisions that rarely make headlines: notifying families, managing rumor storms, and balancing public transparency with the need to protect an investigation. Along the way, I’ll read short passages from my book, True Crime and Consequences, to ground the principles in real scenes and human stakes.

Bring your questions. We’ll open the floor for a candid Q&A on cold cases, digital evidence, false confessions, and why some investigations stall while others move. You’ll also find discounted copies of the book and some free Murder Police Podcast swag as a thank-you to our local community and the library that makes events like this possible. If you value clear facts, careful method, and a respectful approach to victims and truth, this session is a chance to learn, challenge your assumptions, and connect with others who care about justice. Subscribe, share this with a true crime friend, and leave a quick review to help more people find the show.
