Speaker 1: This is Kate Winkler Dawson, host of the true crime
Speaker 1: talk show Wicked Words, where I interview journalists, podcasters, and
Speaker 1: authors about the fascinating behind the scenes stories from their
Speaker 1: investigations into the world of true crime. These are the
Speaker 1: stories behind the stories coming up on Wicked Words. I
Speaker 1: talked to prolific crime writer Patricia Cornwell about her book
Speaker 1: Portrait of a Killer Jack the Ripper Case Closed, where
Speaker 1: she re examines the evidence, documents, and records surrounding this
Speaker 1: infamous Victorian era case. Veteran journalist Raina Peterson tells me
Speaker 1: her story of a brazen, uncatchable jewel thief who tiptoed
Speaker 1: through the homes of Dallas's high society during the Swinging sixties.
Speaker 1: Her twenty twenty four book The King of Diamonds investigates
Speaker 1: how this thief eluded police and the FBI for more
Speaker 1: than a decade. And I chat with award winning journalist
Speaker 1: and podcast host Mandy Mattney, whose unflinching investigation of the
Speaker 1: Murderal Murders sheds light on one of South Carolina's most
Speaker 1: powerful and corrupt political figures. So join me in a
Speaker 1: new special guest every week for Wicked Words, where we
