We are excited to have James Renner as our special guest on True Crime Broads: James Renner is mostly known for his true-crime journalism. As a reporter for Cleveland Scene, he uncovered new clues and suspects in the cold-case murder of Amy Mihaljevic (⁠http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/30/tech/crowdsourced-cold-cases-james-renner-amy-mihaljevic-feat/⁠). His work led to the successful closure of the Tina Harmon case (⁠http://www.indeonline.com/article/20081126/NEWS/311269903⁠) in 2009. He spent months researching the Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus abductions when the girls were still missing and is haunted by the fact that he had Castro's name in his notes (⁠http://www.cracked.com/personal-experiences-1614-i-hunt-serial-killers-6-insane-realities-my-life.html⁠). His true crime writing has been featured in the Best American Crime Reporting anthology. His selection was the first true crime article to use a dream sequence as a narrative device. Renner has always been interested in filmmaking, as well. In 2004, Renner directed a short film based on the Stephen King story, All That You Love Will Be Carried Away. King sold him the rights for $1. The movie starred Joe Bob Briggs and the late-great Harvey Pekar. It premiered at the 2005 Montreal World Film Festival.Later that same year, Renner directed a documentary about the influence of J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye (⁠https://jamesrenner.com/?page_id=399&=1⁠). The adventure culminated in a short meeting between Renner and the reclusive author at his home in New Hampshire.In 2012, Renner's debut novel – The Man from Primrose Lane (⁠https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/books/the-man-from-primrose-lane-by-james-renner/2012/03/06/gIQAf4bCLS_story.html⁠)– was published by Sarah Crichton Books. Set in Northeast Ohio, The Man from Primrose Lane blends mystery with scifi in a very unique structure.  The story is currently being adapted for television.Renner's second novel, The Great Forgetting (⁠http://www.fsgbookkeeping.com/the-sweet-spot/⁠), is a “love letter to conspiracy thrillers.”A new work of nonfiction, True Crime Addict (⁠https://jamesrenner.com/?p=701&=1⁠), was published in May by Thomas Dunne Books. The New York Times Sunday Book Review  (⁠http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/31/books/review/true-crime-addict-james-renner-and-more.html⁠)called it “shamelessly entertaining.”James Renner is also the founder of The Porchlight Project (⁠https://porchlightonline.org/⁠), a nonprofit that raises money for new DNA testing of cold cases in Ohio. In 2020, an arrest was made in their first case – the unsolved murder of Barbara Blatnik (⁠https://www.beaconjournal.com/news/20200506/cleveland-man-arrested-in-1987-murder-of-teen-whose-body-was-found-near-blossom-music-center⁠) – thanks to their funding of genetic genealogy.

We are thrilled to have author John Leake as our guest on True Crime Broads. The following description is from his Amazon description of his new book, called The Meaning of Malice: On the Trail of the Black Widow of Highland Park.  "The true story of sex, blackmail, identity theft, and murder in Dallas high society. Sandra Bridewell was a beautiful socialite in the affluent Dallas suburb of Highland Park in 1978-82, when DALLAS was the world's most popular TV show and the Dallas Cowboys were America's favorite team. Her husband, Bobby Bridewell, was a top hotel developer and the most popular man in Dallas society. Shortly after Bobby died of lymphoma in 1982, Sandra fell from grace. Four years later, she left Dallas and moved to the Bay Area under a cloud of suspicion that she had committed multiple murders. In 1987 she was the subject of a sensational D Magazine feature titled "The Black Widow" that suggested she had indeed murdered two of her husbands and the wife of the prominent cancer doctor who had treated Bobby Bridewell.Best-selling crime author John Leake has followed the story since the D Magazine feature was published. He grew up in Highland Park, just down the street from Sandra, and often visited her home to socialize with one of her children. Since 2007, when Sandra was arrested for stealing the identity of an elderly lady who lived near Cape Fear, North Carolina, he has documented her life and wanderings. He has also meticulously investigated four violent deaths among her family and friends in Dallas. With this book, he presents the results of his investigation, and finally answers the question that has tantalized Highland Park society for decades. Is Sandra Bridewell an officially undetected Black Widow serial killer?"
