Making Murder Pay
More than a crime, murder has
become big business. An entire industry depends on the
steady drumbeat of horror that starts up at the first signs
that a pretty white girl is missing. Suddenly, law
enforcement’s difficult task is made worse by media carnival
barkers who cavalierly tamper with witnesses, throw up false
leads, and subvert justice in pursuit of the
“story.”
In The Murder Business, renowned
former LAPD detective and current FOX News crime
investigator Mark Fuhrman delivers an explosive exposé of
the facts, obscured or ignored by much of the media, of some
of the most riveting murder cases of our time. Fuhrman
reveals:
How investigators knew Caylee Anthony was
never “missing”—and how media reports to the contrary
prolonged misery and impeded the investigation
Who killed
JonBenét Ramsey
How Scott Peterson almost got away with
murder
Why suspects love sitting down with the media,
even as they avoid police interviews
Why the media
neglect minorities despite higher rates of minority victims
of kidnapping and murder
How the media could regain their
“watchdog” credentials
The never-before-told full story
of the O. J. Simpson case—and why he
got off
Mark
Fuhrman puts you in the shoes of professional criminal
investigators, walks you through crime scenes with the
penetrating eye of a trained detective, and shows you the
unconscious irresponsibility and greed of the media who
inadvertently capitalize on suffering and hinder justice in
their pursuit of ratings. The Murder Business is a
shocking tale of crime, and the media's interference with
criminal investigators, that will forever change the way you
look at crime reporting.
