Jun 1, 2022
Dr. Mark G. Hewitt, DBA is a true crime author and award-winning public speaker who travels the world in his quest for intriguing, unanswered questions and enduring mysteries.
Charles Manson holds a special place in history, notorious for his crimesand cult, yet fascinating for his seemingly endless ability to dominate and control all who came into his orbit.
In this interview Dr Hewitttells Ed about Manson, who was never a quiet inmate. Mood swings from outbursts of rage to acts of generosity, he made his presence felt to everyone around him. He inspired awe in other inmates, he cozied up to prison guards who were eager to do him favours, and he was responsible for numerous staff transfers in the institution and externally.
Mark is also the author of the acclaimed Zodiac Serial Killer Series, three books dedicated to telling the complete story of California’s most notorious unidentified serial killer:
HUNTED: the Zodiac murders
PROFILED: the Zodiac examined
EXPOSED: the Zodiac revealed
With inmate Guillermo Mendez, he is the co-author of Charles Manson Behind Bars, the first Manson book from the inside.

A journalist's twenty-year fascination with the Manson murders leads to shocking new revelations about the FBI's involvement in this riveting reassessment of an infamous case in American history.
Over two grim nights in Los Angeles, the young followers of Charles Manson murdered seven people, including the actress Sharon Tate, then eight months pregnant. With no mercy and seemingly no motive, the Manson Family followed their leader's every order-their crimes lit a flame of paranoia across the nation, spelling the end of the sixties. Manson became one of history's most infamous criminals, his name forever attached to an era when charlatans mixed with prodigies, free love was as possible as brainwashing, and utopia-or dystopia-was just an acid trip away.
Twenty years ago, when journalist Tom O'Neill was reporting a magazine piece about the murders, he worried there was nothing new to say. Then he unearthed shocking evidence of a cover-up behind the "official" story, including police carelessness, legal misconduct, and potential surveillance by intelligence agents. When a tense interview with Vincent Bugliosi-prosecutor of the Manson Family, and author of Helter Skelter-turned a friendly source into a nemesis, O'Neill knew he was onto something. But every discovery brought more questions:
Who were Manson's real friends in Hollywood, and how far would they go to hide their ties?
Why didn't law enforcement, including Manson's own parole officer, act on their many chances to stop him?
And how did Manson-an illiterate ex-con-turn a group of peaceful hippies into remorseless killers?
O'Neill's quest for the truth led him from reclusive celebrities to seasoned spies, from San Francisco's summer of love to the shadowy sites of the CIA's mind-control experiments, on a trail rife with shady cover-ups and suspicious coincidences. The product of two decades of reporting, hundreds of new interviews, and dozens of never-before-seen documents from the LAPD, the FBI, and the CIA, CHAOS mounts an argument that could be, according to Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Steven Kay, strong enough to overturn the verdicts on the Manson murders. This is a book that overturns our understanding of a pivotal time in American history.

On January 21, 1958, nineteen-year-old Charles Starkweather changed the course of crime in the United States when he murdered the parents and sister of his fourteen-year-old girlfriend (and possible accomplice), Caril Ann Fugate, in a house on the edge of Lincoln, Nebraska. They then drove to the nearby town of Bennet, where a farmer was robbed and killed. When Starkweather’s car broke down, the teenagers who stopped to help were murdered and jammed into a storm cellar. By the time the dust settled, ten innocent people were dead, and the city of Lincoln was in a state of terror. Schools closed. Men with rifles perched on the roofs of their houses. The National Guard patrolled the street. If there is a cultural version of PTSD, the town suffered from it. Starkweather and Fugate’s capture and arrest, and the resulting trials about the killing spree, received worldwide coverage. The event would serve as the inspiration for the movie Natural Born Killers and Springsteen’s iconic album Nebraska. Today, the story has dropped far from the national consciousness. With new material, new reporting, and new conclusions about the possible guilt or innocence of Fugate, the tale is ripe for an updated and definitive retelling. In Starkweather, bestselling author Harry N. MacLean tells the story of this shocking event and its lasting impact, a crime spree that struck deep into the heart of the heartland.
Harry N. MacLean joins Ed Opperman to discuss this book and more.

DANNO HANKS - HOLLYWOOD DETECTIVE: I was Tinseltown's Private Eye
2 days ago
Born into poverty in California, I was headed for a life inside. I prowled the night to avoid my abusive stepfather, stealing cars and burgling houses to survive. But prison time showed me I could put my criminal skills to good use – as a Private Investigator. I made crime pay.
Then I got drafted into the Marines. In Vietnam, the Navy taught me how to spy. Back in The World, I became an even better Private Eye. I’d learned how to tap phone lines and bug hotel rooms. I worked as a CIA contract operative, and went undercover for the FBI, infiltrating The Gambino crime family. As an illegal PI, I straddled both sides of the fence. From the glamour of Hollywood, to the sleazy underbelly of LA’s vices. I targeted celebrities, porn-stars, prostitutes, gangsters, paedophiles – I was the keeper of Tinseltown’s secrets.
Then, it got even sleazier: I was hired by the British tabloids to dig the dirt for the biggest stories of the century: Jeffrey Epstein, Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Michael Jackson, Heidi Fleiss, OJ Simpson….you name it. I did them all - let God sort 'em out. For 20 years, I was a central cog in the Rupert Murdoch’s illegal newsgathering machine at Foxand the New York Daily Post. From London, The Sun and the News of the World wired me £100,000s to find out confidential information about the stars. But the Daily Mail, the Mirror and the big paparazzi agencies also wanted a piece of the action – soon they got addicted to my illegal reports.
Then came the phone hacking scandal. The net closed in. I realised the harm my work was causing.
Now it’s time to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Kathleen Willey: Target: Caught in the Crosshairs of Bill and Hillary Clinton
Just in time for Hillary Clinton's 2008 Presidential campaign comes Kathleen Willey's explosive new book that details how her life was changed - and nearly destroyed - by Bill and Hillary Clinton. Target contains never-before-released details of the intimidation campaign launched to silence Kathleen...one way or the other. It provides new insight not just into the death of Kathleen's husband -- on the same day that Bill Clinton assaulted Kathleen in the Oval Office - but into Bill's sexual addiction and Hillary's compulsive enabling, a dangerous combination when partnered with the power of the presidency. Willey makes a persuasive case that Hillary should NOT be returned to the White House in ANY capacity.
And, as evidence that the Clintons haven t changed, the terror and harassment continue. Over 2007's Labor Day weekend, Kathleen's home was burglarized. Instead of taking jewelry or computers, the thief took the manuscript for Target, with its explosive revelations that could damage Sen. Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.
It was a break-in all too reminiscent of an incident 10 years ago in which Kathleen was threatened by a stranger just two days before she was to testify against President Clinton in the Paula Jones sexual harassment case. It's déjà vu all over again -- and time to stop the Clinton machine once and for al

Dolly Kyle : Hillary the Other Woman
You think you know Hillary and Bill Clinton pretty well. After all, they have been in the public eye from Arkansas to the White House and beyond for over forty years.
Dolly Kyle met former president Clinton (Billy as she calls him) on a Hot Springs golf course when she was eleven and he was almost thirteen. It was colpo de fulmine (the thunderbolt) at first sight. Their friendship grew throughout high school and college. It became a decades-long affair that lasted despite marriages and politics all the way to the threshold of the White House when she became a political liability, and he threatened to destroy her, as Hillary had done to so many of his other women over the years. What you know about the Clintons is probably limited to the pleasantries that the mainstream media have chosen to share with you. Hillary the Other Woman pulls no punches in describing the way media magic makes Clinton stories disappear.
Have you heard about
The RICO (Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) federal lawsuit that Kyle filed against Clinton and cronies while he and co-president Hillary were in the White House?
The racial discrimination lawsuits filed by African-Americans against Clinton as governor of Arkansas?
Clinton s orders for the Arkansas State Police to stop and search vehicles driven by Hispanics?
Thousands of young African-American men given long prison sentences under the three strikes laws pushed by co-presidents Bill and Hillary?
The co-president Clintons pandering to minorities with a subtle form of race baiting with their welfare agenda?
The racist names they call Jesse Jackson behind his back?
Hillary the Other Woman is not only about the politics of the Arkansas gubernatorial years and the famous two for the price of one presidency. It also provides a perspective on Arkansas life that formed the backdrop and training ground for the Clintons in their later crimes, their gangster-like threats and intimidation of political enemies, and their arrogant belief that they are above the law. You will see the connection between Hillary s current email scandal and her shredding of documents when they left the Arkansas governor s mansion. You will realize that the Clinton Foundation is the new international version of the money laundering and bribes that you glossed over as Cattlegate. You will read clear, concise, entertaining accounts that put the multitude of Clinton scandals into everyday perspective. Finally, you will be privy to the Clinton truth suppression techniques that allowed them to get away with all of it. Until now...
