| FAQ |
| Did you really read all these books during your research? Yup. Every one. Are they your books? Do you have them? Yup. Every one. And lots, lots more. About 5,000 hardcovers in all. But they're not all on true crime. Only about 500 hardcovers are on true crime. Where did you find all these books? Book stores, libraries, used book sales, flea markets, etc. You bought all these books and magazines? I have them all. No. I asked did you buy them. I have them all. Oh my God!! Did you steal some of them?! When I was in college my dormmates used to steal food between checks from home. I had other needs. They went to the grocery store; I went to the book store. I ate their food; they read my books and listened to my stories about Depression-era outlaws. I figure things evened out. Does your family know about your extensive criminal past? Only what I've told them. What did you tell them? That it wasn't me. I just looked like the guy that was taking the books. At the time of the robberies, I was doing church work. I was ministering to a raven-haired beauty who had lost her spiritual way. I still remember how great she looked with a flower in her hair. Standing there braless in a red tee-shirt and those faded hip-hugger jeans. (And she looked even better out of....well, never mind. Hey, it was the 60s!) Did she come forward and verify this? No. There was an issue about her age. Who was I to ask for an ID? I was only 18 and had three or four IDs myself so I could buy beer and wine for the guys in the dorm. What else do you do with your life besides spending hours and hours maintaining this Website? I work and travel in Europe. Once I even "found" a book in Paris. It was on the street. Yeah, that's it. It was on the street. That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it. |
