The Susan Murphy Milano Show-Today 3PM CST / 4PM EST

Susan Murphy Milano welcomes acclaimed author, radio host and men's rights advocate Burl Barer. And Hollywood Private Eye Fred Wolfson a victim of intimate violence.

FRED WOLFSON
Fred Wolfson is a former U.S. Intelligence Officer in the Reagan Administration, who becomes a successful and wealthy private investigator. Wolfson was a regular contributor for network television and radio in the fields of personal and corporate security, and had his own weekly television program on the air dedicated to solving cold cases.

Wolfson fell in love with a beautiful surgeon, and the two were soon married. Shortly after the marriage, Wolfson’s health began taking a turn for the worse. Wolfson’s physician wife began prescribing a multitude of medications, yet his health and mental acuity continued to deteriorate. Wolfson’s wife pointed to mental illness, convincing everyone that the world renowned investigator had “lost his marbles.” While pretending to be the doting wife, caring for her mentally ill husband, she was actually draining Wolfson’s bank accounts and preparing for the ultimate betrayal – - his death!

The attempt to murder Fred Wolfson is about a woman who would stop at nothing to get what she wanted, including murder, and the ability of this former intelligence officer to fight back through a drug induced haze to save his own life.

BURL BARER

American War Hero Was A Victim of Spousal Homicide

He was an American hero. By the age of twenty-four, Air Force Staff Sergeant Mike Severance had already survived a series of missions in Afghanistan and Iraq. But his life back at home, in Texas, would prove a lot more dangerous. We often only think of women as victims of abuse and murder, but, there are also men and children killed at the hands of their wives and girlfriends.

In Author Diane Fannings next book Poisoned Passion she intelligently brings the reader into the mind of Wendi Mae Davidson, a cold blooded killer.

In the winter of 2005, Mike’s wife, a veterinarian named Wendi Mae Davidson, reported him missing. Wendi told police that Mike had been acting erratically—visiting local clubs, staying out late, sometimes not coming home at all. She filed for divorce the very next day.

Eventually Mike’s body turned up in a stock pond on a private ranch. Investigators described a corpse that was weighted down with two cinder blocks, a rock, a boat anchor, and other equipment. It had also been stabbed forty-one times with a knife. But an autopsy report told a different story: That the cause of death was exposure to pentobarbital and phenobarbital, drugs commonly used in veterinary medicine. All the evidence pointed to Wendi…and soon she would be found guilty of murder in the first degree. There is also a video I have included from YouTube.

In my twenty plus years working with crimes of passion I am always interested in the mind of the person behind the crime. For me, it is a learning tool to save lives. Very few writers have the insight and gift to take a true story and make it one hell of a page turner. In my opinion, Diane Fanning does just that in "Poisoned Passion."
