Q&A With Matthew McGough Author of The Lazarus Files: A Cold Case Investigation


UPDATE 12:20pm: Corrected for spelling. Sprocket
My friend Matthew McGough did a Q&A with journalist Elon Green, which was just published in MEL Magazine.

Matthew's book also recently received a starred review from Publishers Weekly. Having read the book, I wholeheartedly agree with Publishers Weekly: "This memorable and powerful work deserves a wide readership."

I've been very fortunate to travel along with Matthew for most of his journey in chronicling the Lazarus case and its aftermath. I first got to know Matthew during the Lazarus trial seven years ago. We were the only two reporters who attended every day of the trial. It's been a blast to be back in the trenches with him the last few weeks for the trial in the case of Francis v. City of LA. Matthew has been a true friend and mentor to me.

A special thank you to Linda Zaleskie of CNN for treating me and Matthew to lunch the last couple days.

I've heard people have been waiting for updates on the trial. I have been working on my daily recaps so please stay tuned. Today is a big day. The jury will hear closing arguments sometime after 9:30am.

Plan to buy the book. As expected the intriguing unknowns are still unknown.
Stephanie had previous 2 Mondays off probably tostake out the house. Normally Sherri left for work first so she was lucky, and garage door open with her car inside proves the motive to break in was not just to steal the car and wedding license.
Rope and pistol taken to house so probably premeditated
If she hadn't missed on first shot, struggle would not have ensued and moved downstairs?
Was a fake passport found at SL's house?
Why the divorce? Family unit still socialise.
