Wolfson’s fascinating reminiscences detail exactly how to tell when someone is lying, cheating or stealing from you. You’ll learn the tragic consequence of failing to conduct a simple background check, and how to find out the truth about anyone.
A compelling read from the first paragraph!
On the morning of May 25, 1979, six-year-old Etan Patz kissed his mother goodbye on the sidewalk outside his parents’ downtown Manhattan loft and set off for his school bus stop, walking the two short blocks on his own for the very first time. But he never made it to school that day, and he never came home.
Etan Patz, the most famous missing child since the Lindbergh baby, became quite literally the poster child for a new movement, in a case that would change our cultural landscape forever. Thirty years later May 25th will be recognized as National Missing Children's Day, as it is every year, in Etan's honor.
But despite the overwhelming publicity his case received, the public knows only a fraction of what happened, because it is so much more than a heart-wrenching mystery.
It is also the story of the men, women, and children who were touched by his life, after he vanished.
It's the story of the agonies and triumphs of the Patz family.
It's the story of the careening twists and turns of federal prosecutor Stuart GraBois's relentless pursuit of his prime suspect. Jose Antonio Ramos is in prison not for Etan Patz, but BECAUSE of him. GraBois put him there for another crime against a child, and won't rest until Ramos faces charges for crimes against Etan. The serial child molester is up for parole in June 2009, and even if he doesn't get it, Ramos will walk free in 2014. Unless GraBois, Stan Patz, and others working with them, stop him.
From GraBois's creative "outside the box" tactics, to the veteran cop who made his first pedophile bust on a dark Times Square rooftop, to the FBI rookie who cut her teeth chasing the case through the dark recesses of a child molester's mind…this is the story of the heroic investigators who, to this day, thirty years later, continue to seek justice for Etan.
Drawing on hundreds of interviews and nearly twenty years of research - including access to the Patz family's personal files – in the first book ever on the subject, Lisa R. Cohen finally reveals the entire dramatic tale, and lays out the case against Jose Ramos for the public to judge for themselves.
Lisa Cohen joins Burl Barer and Don Woldman LIVE Saturday September 12th!

“Secrets of a Hollywood Private Eye”
with Burl Barer
Secrets of a Hollywood Private Eye is a white-hot, page turner expose of cheating spouses, greedy conmen, easily duped superstars, jealous directors, kidnapped children, and every type of civil and criminal caper imaginable in a town known for tinsel and glitter.
This compelling compendium of stranger than fiction cases from the files of Fred Wolfson, PI, take him not only to the exclusive Bel Air and Beverly Hills haunts of the rich and famous, but also to the hooker strewn street corners of seedy Hollywood Blvd, criminal hideouts in South America, and terrorist investigations in Saudi Arabia.
Whether Wolfson is tracking down missing money for Caesars Palace, outfoxing an international swindler, or breaking up a black market of stolen children, all the action is one-hundred percent true. The real bonus is that Wolfson doesn’t simply recount his adventures, but he shares the methods, both legal and otherwise, that made him the most in-demand and respected private detective of our time.
The famous names drop like quarters in a Vegas slot machine – The Rolling Stones, Roseanne Barr, Groucho Marx , Zsa Zsa Gabor, Michael Jackson, Rodney King, and the list goes on.
Wolfson’s fascinating reminiscences detail exactly how to tell when someone is lying, cheating or stealing from you. You’ll learn the tragic consequence of failing to conduct a simple background check, how to find out the truth about anyone, and most intriguing of all, how Fred Wolfson “hired himself” to get back millions of dollars that was stolen from him by someone he loved and trusted; someone who thought they had the perfect plan, but they didn’t plan on Fred Wolfson living long enough to bring them to justice.
Bradley Jardis on TRUE CRIMES next Saturday 2pm Pacific Time/4pm Central/5pm Eastern
Police Officer Bradley Jardis speaks on on True Crimes about ending the failed War on Drugs.
"A great deal of good for our society can come from ending the failed War on Drugs"
Bradley Jardis has served as a police officer in the State of New Hampshire since March of 1999. He took his oath of office three months before graduating from high school and graduated from the Part-Time New Hampshire Police Academy before finishing his high school obligations. Bradley is proud to serve the people of his state and takes his oath to uphold the law very seriously.
It is with the same dedication to protect and serve that he now opposes the "War on Drugs."
As a law enforcement officer, Bradley has seen the detrimental effects of the drug war on citizens from all walks of life. He understands many victims of theft and violence to be victims of drug prohibition; victims that could be avoided if we adopt a more rational and ethical approach to our nation's drug problems. He argues that the lessons learned from our enforcement of the 18th Amendment and the Volstead Act should apply equally to our contemporary prohibition of drugs.
Bradley joined LEAP because he believes that a great deal of good for our society can come from ending the failed "War on Drugs." He stands firm in his conviction that by legalizing and adopting stringent regulations for all drugs, we would achieve the following results:
- Citizens who are addicted to dangerous drugs could safely obtain the drugs they need under proper medical supervision with the ultimate goal of being drug free. Drug dealers want to sell more drugs to their users, doctors could help lessen the quantity of drugs consumed.
- Violent criminal and terrorist organizations would no longer profit from drug distribution.
- Above all‹it would be much easier to educate and keep drugs out of the hands of our children.
Bradley hopes that by donating his time as a citizen to LEAP and our mission to educate the public on the myths and realities of the drug war, he can help change the drug laws that he is sworn to enforce
