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 enforcementβs 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 βstory.β
In The Murder Business, renowned former LAPD detective and current FOX News crime investigator Mark Fuhrman delivers an explosive exposΓ© 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 βmissingββand how media reports to the contrary prolonged misery and impeded the investigation
Who killed JonBenΓ©t 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 βwatchdogβ credentials
The never-before-told full story of the O. J. Simpson caseβand 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.
