Through her expert lens, Emma also highlights the critical role of community vigilance and law enforcement in the eventual rescue of Shawn and Ben. She brings a thoughtful analysis to the challenges faced during the investigation and the subsequent legal proceedings against Devlin.

When he was working as a manager at Imo's Pizza, Michael Devlin put up a pretty good front. He was personable. Well read. Friendly. But back at his apartment, Michael was a different man. He was rude and quiet. His son, Shawn, appeared to have adopted Michael's habits. Neighbors said they never saw Shawn smile. But what they didn't know was that Shawn wasn't really Michael's son. His name wasn't even Shawn Devlin. It was Shawn Hornbeck. But the truth wouldn't come out until much later, when another boy, Ben Ownby, went missing.  Then Brandi tells us about a kidnapping that shook Long Island, New York. It was July 4, 1956. Betty Weinberger's one-month-old infant, Peter, fell asleep in his carriage on the patio. As the little boy slept, Betty went inside the house. When she came back out a few minutes later, her baby boy was gone. Betty's husband later found a ransom note at the scene. In it, the kidnapper demanded $2,000 in exchange for the baby. The kidnapper warned the Weinbergers not to involve the police, but the couple felt they had no choice.  And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: “Monster next door?” by Malcolm Gay for the Riverfront Times “One search, two boys found: The Missouri miracle 14 years ago,” by Tim O'Neil for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch “Michael Devlin stabbed in prison with ‘ice pick,'” by Todd Frankel for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch “I am still too scared to tell my mom and dad, ‘kidnap' creep admits,” by Susannah Cahalan for the New York Post “Shawn Hornbeck,” Crime Museum “MIchael J. Devlin,” entry on Wikipedia In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “Held for Ransom” by Michael Dorman “Mark of a Murderer” by Mike McAlary, Esquire “JUSTICE STORY: Tragic kidnapping of Long Island infant shattered two young families” by Robert Dominguez, New York Daily News “Weinberger Kidnapping” FBI.gov “Vincent LaMarca” wikipedia.org   YOU'RE STILL READING?

From January 18, 2007: Shawn Hornbeck and his family (his mother and stepfather, Pam and Craig Akers, and his aunt, Shari Frazier) sit down with Oprah for their first interview since Shaun's safe return four years after he was allegedly kidnapped. Oprah also talks to Gary Wagster and Chris Nelson, the police officers who followed a tip that led them to the home of Michael Devlin, where they found Ben Ownby and Shawn Hornbeck. She then sits down with both Don and Doris Ownby about their four-day ordeal and how they feel about their son, Ben, being the reason Shawn Hornbeck was found. FBI veteran Clint Van Zandt and author of Facing Down Evil speaks about how children returned to their families can overcome their trauma.

Who would have wanted this potential new president out of the way – and who would commit mass murder to do it? All the way to the top of the US government, someone is determined to stop Dempsey and Devlin from discovering the truth.

Part 3: Tony Kent is the author of Power Play and the previous two exciting thrillers featuring Michael Devlin and Joe Dempsey, Killer Intent and Marked for Death. He’s also a leading criminal barrister (attorney), former champion boxer and ex-movie stuntman - you may have seen him in a Roman cavalry charge with Russell Crowe in the film Gladiator or riding off a burning barge in The Mummy. So how does he fit in writing his thrillers? How is he launching Power Play at a time when social distancing and self-isolation in the midst of coronavirus means that public gatherings are banned? Especially if you’ve had the virus yourself - like Tony. Also, does he have the writing world’s best author back story? (In a previous episode, book publicist to the stars Angela McMahon explained how important your personal back story is to getting published and getting attention.) Tony has a belter of a tale about he got into law. And what does Tony have to say about the morality of writing a story with a pandemic at its heart - super topical or simply exploitative? *** Also in this episode, we offered a platform to authors whose book launches have been disrupted by coronavirus, and the renowned crime fiction writer Judith O’Reilly responded. Her new book Curse The Day is out now. Brace yourself for a blistering pace and the reappearance of assassin Michael North. Spoiler alert, it turns out that Tony Kent loves Curse The Day and its predecessor Killing State. Phew! What a happy coincidence and a sign that you should read her too, if you haven’t already. It’s a only a tiny taster of Judith (she’s written much more) - we’d love to have her on for a lot longer in future. *** We celebrate 3 bookshops in this episode - Forum Books in Corbridge, Goldsboro Books in London and Waterstones in High Wycombe with an interview with Ben Churchill. Get in touch if you frequent or work in a lovely bookshop - we love to tell listeners about you. (*** NB: Apologies for sound quality dips in this episode.

Protestbudskabet gik ikke henover hovedet på nogen: Vietnamkrigen - og præsident Nixon - måtte stoppes. Haydn: Missa in tempore belli. Patricia Wells, sopran, Gwendolyn Killebrev, alt, Alan Titus, baryton og Michael Devlin, bas. Norman Scribner Koret og et lejlighedsorkester. Dirigent: Leonard Bernstein.

Today I'm joined by a man who has personally built multiple seven figure e-commerce stores, and generated over £5M in sales in the UK, and $14M for his clients in the US. Welcome to DMR, Michael Devlin. [You can find Michael over at MassConversions.com.] On this episode of Digital Marketing Radio we discuss launching a physical product in the physical sphere, with topics including: Are the digital marketing tactics that work for selling physical goods very different compared with the tactics used for selling digital goods or services? And when’s it best to sell goods from your own website, and when should you sell goods from somewhere like Amazon? What kind of goods are really good to be selling on Amazon at the moment? And what are some first steps to start selling on Amazon? Do you market from other traffic sources to Amazon? How important is creating a launch sequence?

I recently spoke with Michael Devlin, adviser to Urban Seed (www.urbanseedvegas.com) We covered a variety of topics related to agribusiness and food policy. Urban Seed’s mission is to become the premier supplier of locally grown, low carbon impact, fruits, vegetables, and micro greens in the local market using proprietary and innovative technology & processes with modular, easily expandable structures which provide opportunities for unlimited growth. Their philosophy is to prioritize the “Made in the USA” concept.  Their proprietary modular system provides superior quality and larger volumes in the same footprint allowing Urban Seed to grow 30 to 50 times the amount of produce than that of traditional farming without use of chemicals or pesticides. Facilities will be as close to the customer base as possible to reduce cost of transportation & delivery which can run as much as 75% of total operating costs for traditional farm to market operations. 1) We went though a description of the traditional timeline from food to fork.  Most produce travels 1,500 miles from farm to fork. - High carbon footprint - Nutritional values falls over time - Shorter shelf life = high food waste - Lower freshness = bland taste 2) We laid out a broad gamut of food production challenges: - Burgeoning world population, - Water scarcity, - Global warming, - High pesticide use. - Lack of access to fresh produce is highly correlated to rising BMI - especially in poor communities. 3) Opportunities - Where are some of the investment opportunities in the food world? - We spend time defining the concept of urban farming 4) Finally, we describe what Urban Seed does - Farm to fork in 12 hrs - No chemicals - herbicides or pesticides - All non-GMO seeds (why is this important?) - Grown under glass with no supplemental light - very power efficient. - 30x crop yield vs traditional farming - Uses 90% less water - Extremely Profitable - Each 6,500sf greenhouse generates $1mln annual revenues and ~$500k EBITDA - Tax benefits for buildings / urban settings?Jobs?

In a year when Derry-Londonderry takes centre stage as the UK City of Culture, Helen Mark steps out into the city's back garden to explore the hidden gems of the Inishowen Peninsula. Located at the northernmost tip of Ireland where it meets with the Atlantic Ocean, and with Lough Foyle to the east and Lough Swilly to the west, Inishowen is rich in history, heritage and landscape, with more than its fair share of undiscovered delights. Helen Mark begins her journey at the Glenevin Waterfall with American, Doris Russo. Now in her 90s, Doris first visited Donegal almost 20 years ago when she fell in love with the area and bought Glen House with its adjoining land and beautiful, yet inaccessible, waterfall. Helen hears how Doris took it upon herself to clear the brambles and undergrowth that blocked the route to the waterfall and so began a project that would take years to reach fruition with the help of the local community and volunteers. There are very few people in the area now without a friend or relative who has been involved in the Glenevin Waterfall including farmer, Michael Devlin, who tells Helen of his own experiences of the waterfall as a child. At the northern tip of Inishowen Helen meets writer, Cary Meehan, to visit the atmospheric Bocan Stone Circle at Malin Head. Cary has made a promise with herself to visit a sacred place every week and feels that these are places that give people a divine connection that there really are no words for. Heading back along the shores of Lough Foyle, Helen stops off for a kayak trip out on the waters with Adrian Harkin before making her way back to the border. Before she leaves Inishowen, Helen makes one last stop to meet Dessie McCallion who takes Helen to one of his favourite hidden gems, a woodland near the village of Muff where he walks and feeds the red squirrels who call the woodland home.
