Happy New Year

I wanted to take a moment to wish all my friends, fans and supporters a safe and pleasant New Year holiday and a successful 2010!

I’m very optimistic about what’s ahead for me personally. I’m going to hit the keyboard in the next week or so on my new book project titled Surviving the Mob. It’s the bio of a former street soldier in the infamous New York City Gambino crime family. I think it’s going to be a real page-turner.

My new show on Blog Talk Radio, The Griffin Chronicles, begins on January 20. And a new season of Seeking Justice starts on January 26.

Our live show The Mob Chronicles kicks off in Las Vegas in February. If the debut goes well it will probably lead to doing several shows per year both in and outside of Vegas.

The mystery and true crime-themed cruise Mystery on the High Seas; A Cruise to Die For, sails in November.

And last, but by no means least, I’m involved in three projects regarding a possible motion picture and/or TV series.

It promises to be an exciting 2010!

Special Dec 22 show – Ron Scharff Updates

I’m  looking forward to my next show.  On Tuesday, December 22, Kim Kolton and I will discuss a double homicide out of Illinois. On the morning of June 2, 1981, two people were found shot to death in the living room of an apartment at the rear of the P.M. Pub, located at 238 West Rand Road in Lakemoor, Illinois.

The victims were the tavern’s owner, 37-year-old Ronald Scharff, and barmaid Patricia Freeman, who had worked her shift at the bar the previous evening. For 27 years the murders remained unsolved. And then in 2008, Paul Scharff – Ron’s son – received a phone call that his former babysitter had read a book that she believed included a segment on Ron Scharff’s killing.

The investigation was reactivated, and a little over a year after receiving that call the Scharff and Freeman families obtained a degree of closure. Tonight Paul Scharff will take us through the events that resulted in the naming of the murderer of Ron Scharff and Patricia Freeman.

You can hear the show beginning at 9 pm Eastern at www.blogtalkradio.com/dennisngriffin.
