We are excited to have James Renner as our special guest on True Crime Broads: James Renner is mostly known for his true-crime journalism. As a reporter for Cleveland Scene, he uncovered new clues and suspects in the cold-case murder of Amy Mihaljevic (⁠http://www.cnn.com/2015/10/30/tech/crowdsourced-cold-cases-james-renner-amy-mihaljevic-feat/⁠). His work led to the successful closure of the Tina Harmon case (⁠http://www.indeonline.com/article/20081126/NEWS/311269903⁠) in 2009. He spent months researching the Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus abductions when the girls were still missing and is haunted by the fact that he had Castro’s name in his notes (⁠http://www.cracked.com/personal-experiences-1614-i-hunt-serial-killers-6-insane-realities-my-life.html⁠). His true crime writing has been featured in the Best American Crime Reporting anthology. His selection was the first true crime article to use a dream sequence as a narrative device. Renner has always been interested in filmmaking, as well. In 2004, Renner directed a short film based on the Stephen King story, All That You Love Will Be Carried Away. King sold him the rights for $1. The movie starred Joe Bob Briggs and the late-great Harvey Pekar. It premiered at the 2005 Montreal World Film Festival.Later that same year, Renner directed a documentary about the influence of J.D. Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye (⁠https://jamesrenner.com/?page_id=399&amp=1⁠). The adventure culminated in a short meeting between Renner and the reclusive author at his home in New Hampshire.In 2012, Renner’s debut novel – The Man from Primrose Lane (⁠https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/books/the-man-from-primrose-lane-by-james-renner/2012/03/06/gIQAf4bCLS_story.html⁠)– was published by Sarah Crichton Books. Set in Northeast Ohio, The Man from Primrose Lane blends mystery with scifi in a very unique structure.  The story is currently being adapted for television.Renner’s second novel, The Great Forgetting (⁠http://www.fsgbookkeeping.com/the-sweet-spot/⁠), is a “love letter to conspiracy thrillers.”A new work of nonfiction, True Crime Addict (⁠https://jamesrenner.com/?p=701&amp=1⁠), was published in May by Thomas Dunne Books. The New York Times Sunday Book Review  (⁠http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/31/books/review/true-crime-addict-james-renner-and-more.html⁠)called it “shamelessly entertaining.”James Renner is also the founder of The Porchlight Project (⁠https://porchlightonline.org/⁠), a nonprofit that raises money for new DNA testing of cold cases in Ohio. In 2020, an arrest was made in their first case – the unsolved murder of Barbara Blatnik (⁠https://www.beaconjournal.com/news/20200506/cleveland-man-arrested-in-1987-murder-of-teen-whose-body-was-found-near-blossom-music-center⁠) – thanks to their funding of genetic genealogy.

We are thrilled to have Ken Strange on True Crime Broads! Kenneth Strange Jr. was born in Brooklyn, New York.  A former FBI Special Agent with the JTTF, DOJ Special Agent in Charge, former PI and current author, Ken has come out with a new book—a true crime memoir, A Cop’s Son: One G-Man’s Fight Against Jihad, Global Fraud, and the Cartels.    This true crime memoir has not only been hailed as ‘gripping’ and ‘compelling’ by Ray Kelly, former two-time NYC Police Commissioner, and Bill Bratton, former NYC Police Commissioner and LA Police Chief, but described as “required reading” by the former Assistant Inspector General of the CIA. Based upon a career with three distinct distinguished federal agencies, Ken takes the reader behind fortress like doors into the secret world of terrorists, financial predators and sicarios.  The book also pays homage to Ken’s father, a 38-year veteran of the New York Police Department (NYPD) who rose to the rank of Deputy Chief and whose career briefly overlapped with the author’s.   Ken’s first Best-Selling book, It’s Your Camino: One Couple’s 500-Mile Pilgrimage Across Spain was published in 2019 receiving the IPPYand Catholic Media Association awards.    His hobbies include hiking, reading and traveling. He is married to an RN, has two adult children and lives in Ventura County, California.
