Special Investigator
Special Investigator is an American true crime magazine publishing true murder stories.
The murders were perpetrated between 1988 and 1995 in the United States – PA, NJ, DEL, MD, FL, CAL – and on the Caribbean Islands of St. Thomas, St. Croix, and Puerto Rico.
And I was a Special Investigator on every murder case.
