Happy Halloween everyone! Since it is Halloween, today's show topic will be about a Monster who roamed the streets of Milwaukee Wisconsin, Jeffrey Dahmer. And the reporter who broke this, that would prove to be one of the biggest crime stories of all time, Anne Schwartz!

My guest on today’s show is best-selling author, journalist, and Pulitzer Prize-nominated, Anne E. Schwartz. Ms. Schwartz is also the author of the best-selling book, “Monster: The True Story of the Jeffrey Dahmer Murders.” 

In today’s episode, we chat about her background in journalism, the fateful night back in 1991 when she was given a tip from a police officer that was at Jeffrey Dahmer’s apartment which was the scene of one of the most horrific homicide scenes in our nation’s history. That crime scene changed hers and everyone’s life that was related to these ghastly crimes that Jeffrey Dahmer committed. 

We also talk about her new book, “Monster: The True Story of the Jeffrey Dahmer Murders” 

In today’s episode you will learn:

·      How Anne, a part-time crime reporter, and waitress broke one of the biggest crime stories in our nation’s history!

·      What it was like being the first reporter on the scene of Jeffrey Dahmer’s apartment when the police discovered evidence of years of killing and torturing of his victims, including a human head in the refrigerator.

·      How this story affected her personally and her relationships with family and friends.

·      How she later became a Public Information Officer for the Milwaukee Police Department.

·      How and why she wrote the best-selling book, “Monster: The True Story of the Jeffrey Dahmer Murders.”
