True Crime Files: My Most Memorable Cases is a true crime short anthology, including three of the most unforgettable cases I covered in my decades long career writing for magazines. The pieces include:FIGHTING BACK: in 1993, a brutal serial killer terrorized Allentown, PA. On a warm, summer night, he attacked Denise Sam-Cali, raped her and left her for dead. She lived, and she fought back, helping to trap a serial killer. But Sam-Cali�s courageous battle didn�t end when the predatory monster was tried and convicted.THE MOTHER WHO LOVED TOO MUCH: Janet Ward, a teacher and mother, catered to her teenage daughter, Maggie. Yet in a jailhouse interview Maggie confessed to me in shocking detail why and how she raised a gun to her mother�s head and pulled the trigger. Every parent�s nightmare, this is a case that will leave you questioning.A FATHER�S MORTAL SIN: 2-year-old Renee Goode died mysteriously while on a court-ordered visitation with her father. Police said the seemingly healthy child had inexplicably succumbed to illness. Renee�s mother and grandmother mounted their own investigation, pulling together the elements that led to the conclusion that Renee had been murdered.
