Publisher's Synopsis
PI Revelations: True Celebrity, Political & Cop Case Stories is a collection of more than 30 real investigative cases over my years in the business. Everything here is true, and I'm sharing a lot of secrets that I've kept in my files until now. Some of these secrets were kept at the request of law enforcement, such as my help in the Oklahoma City Bombing tragedy. Others were just filed away by interesting names like Donald Trump, Ferdinand Marcos and Ross Perot.I've sent cops to jail, including my Killer Cop case, but it's not all drama.
There's fun too, like seizing Mexico's Air Force One and being circled by buzzards while photographing a high flying wife. Shotguns, big dogs and being wanted for kidnapping add the fear factor. From plane crashes to crazy spouses in divorces, Texas' missing Democrats and the antics of the rich, read it first here.I've grouped these cases by type, and there are five sections packed with investigative strategies and tactics, as well as the outcome in court.
Divorces and Child Custody: Gone are the days when PIs could track down children stolen by spouses and grab them up to return them to the one with custody. But, I did some of that before the laws changed, and it got me into some trouble in one case for sure. I was accused by the Alabama State Police of kidnapping when I grabbed one child. Read about the crazy things people do in divorces.
Cops, Courts and Investigators Behind the Scenes: Sometimes in the legal system there's downright cheating, legal malfeasance, investigative perjury and even bad cops who kill. Read here about how I've helped in these cases to get the right person into prison.
Backstage Business, Politics and Money: Read case stories about big money, political shenanigans and government prosecutorial abuses, including a jailed personal friend. Corporate investigations, drug use and high flying parties are all covered here. I've even had to fire my attorney client for unethical tactics.
Airline Crashes and the Lawsuit Aftermath: There's nothing more tragic than the victims of airline crashes. The victims' families want some justice, and a lot of money is involved. Read about rooms full of lawyers and the tactics they use to win.
Names You Know, Case Stories You Don't: I sued Donald Trump and tracked down assets hidden by Ferdinand Marcos, and we're talking $50 million in Texas alone. The Wall Street Journal stiffed me on an invoice to do some background investigating of Ross Perot when he ran for the presidency. More names here as well.These case stories are fun, scary, sometimes brutal, but all true, so give it a read.
