  • Inside The Mind Of The Border Patrol Serial Killer Juan David Ortiz
    Sep 10 2024
    Juan David Ortiz, a U.S. Border Patrol supervisor, wore the uniform of a trusted protector. But he lived a double life -- husband, father, war veteran, and respected agent. Yet beneath this facade of normalcy lay a monster. Over the course of twelve days in 2018, Ortiz unleashed his dark urges on the streets of Laredo, Texas, brutally ending the lives of four vulnerable women. What drove a man like Ortiz to commit such heinous acts? I explore that question through the eyes of Lyzza Janette, an unlikely observer who dared to confront the killer face-to-face. As she unraveled the duality of a man who could be both charming and monstrous, she was left both horrified and fascinated. This is a story not just about the crimes committed by a trusted Border Patrol Agent but about the thin line between good and evil.

  • A Funeral Home Murder Mystery: Joe Pulizzi’s Bold Leap into Crime Writing
    Aug 13 2024
    Joe Pulizzi, the Godfather of Content Marketing, takes an audacious leap into crime fiction, delivering a story that is as mesmerizing as it is chilling. Set within the haunting confines of a funeral home, "The Will To Die" unravels a dark and twisted narrative brimming with suspense, secrets, and a touch of macabre. Pulizzi's protagonist, a marketing professional, finds himself entangled in a web of deceit and danger. He is compelled to uncover the mysteries buried deep within the family-run funeral home he unexpectedly inherits. Since I grew up in East Texas, I was drawn to Pulizzi’s crime novel because of the real-life case of Bernie Tiede. The chubby-cheeked mortician befriended the widow of a wealthy oilman at his funeral. Bernie became her personal assistant and sole heir to her multi-million dollar estate. And in 1996, he carried out one of the most bizarre murders in Texas history. Pulizzi is on to something by incorporating the morticians and embalmers into his story. They are typically seen as caretakers of the dead, but their presence confronts the unnerving possibility that death has taken on a new, more sinister dimension within their midst.

  • 11 Days of Terror: The Deadly Texas Prison Hostage Crisis That Gripped The Nation
    Aug 6 2024
    Chaos erupted inside the impenetrable Walls Unit prison in Huntsville during the scorching Texas summer of July 1974. Frederico “Fred” Gomez Carrasco, a notorious drug lord often compared to Pablo Escobar of today, orchestrated a takeover that would become the longest prison siege in U.S. history. Carrasco, known as "The Mexican Connection," smuggled guns into the prison and, along with two accomplices, took teachers and librarians hostage. For eleven harrowing days, they threatened a massacre if their demands were not met, keeping the nation on edge. Join me as I explore this gripping saga of desperation, manipulation, and deadly confrontation. This is the story of the deadly Huntsville siege, a tale that continues to resonate nearly fifty years later.
