Cruise Update

Da Boss — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 22:13:17 +0000

Just a little reminder that we’ve put together a mystery and crime-themed cruise for this Novemebr. Titled Mystery on the High Seas; A Cruise to Die For, it will be a seven day Mexican Riviera trip on the Carnival Splendour leaving from Los Angeles on November 14, 2010.

We’ll have panels featuring mystery writers and speakers from the publishing world. I’m going to present three true crime sessions with former cops, a former Nevada Gaming Control Board agent and real-life mobsters from multiple crime families. There will be plenty of time for schmoozing, networking and photo ops.

Surviving The Mob Screening this Sunday

Da Boss — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 20:28:19 +0000

Join Denny Griffin, Andrew DiDonato and some very special guests this Sunday for a private screening of Surviving the Mob

From 1983 through 1997 Andrew DiDonato was a street soldier for the Nicky Corozzo faction of the Gambino organized crime family. During that time his criminal activities included burglary, robbery, drug dealing, counterfeiting, forgery, fraud, conspiracy to commit murder and attempted murder. In 1996 he was one of two men assigned by Nick Corozzo to kill John Gotti Junior. However, before the murder could take place, Andrew, Corozzo and Gotti himself were arrested and jailed on unrelated charges.

Andrew became a government witness in 1997. His subsequent testimony placed a number of his former colleagues from the Gambino and other New York City crime families behind bars. He testified against Junior Gotti in his 2005 trial.

The 2 Reel Production Company of Henderson has filmed a documentary of Andrew’s life titled Surviving the Mob. You are cordially invited to attend the private screening of the film. You can view the teaser at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gn8kUXUcoNU&feature=email

The event will include a three course meal, guest speakers, the screening, and a Q&A session.

If you would like to interview Andrew please contact Denny Griffin at 702 454-8217.

March 30 Show Update

Da Boss — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 19:04:49 +0000

On March 30, Kim Kolton and I will discuss the tragic case of the murder of Debi Whitlock. On March 25, 1988, the 32-year-old was murdered and then raped in her Modesto, California home. Initially Debi’s husband Harold was a suspect in his wife’s murder, but he was never charged.

Nine years passed without an arrest. But Debi’s mother, Jacque MacDonald, never lost hope that the case would eventually be solved. She pursued her own investigation into her daughter’s death, leaving no stone unturned. Her dedication was rewarded in 1997 with the arrest and conviction of the killer.

An account of the case titled No Room For Doubt was written by Debi’s step-daughter, Angela Dove, and was released last year. Kim and I will be joined by Jacque, Angela, and Lisa DeSantis of the Merced County Victim/Witness program, to discuss the Debi’s murder and its aftermath.
