Wolves in Sheep's Clothing

Summary At the age of 30, Jennifer Daugherty had already been through her fair share of life's struggles. As a mentally disabled woman, she never had it easy. But by the winter of 2010, she had struck out on her own. She was living in a homeless shelter in Greensburg, Pennsylvania to qualify for state funding that would eventually help her get her own apartment. She worked and took the bus by herself. She was beginning to establish her independence. Jennifer was making lemonade out of lemons and seemed to be happy. She had even made a few new friends and developed what she thought was a romantic relationship with a boy named Ricky Smyrnes. Needless to say, her disability prevented her from seeing the bad in people, and her new friends were bad. In early February of 2010, Angela Marinucci, invited Jennifer to a sleepover at a home she shared with 5 others. As it turns out, Angela and Ricky were an item and she was pregnant with Ricky's child, and she was beyond angry that Jennifer and Ricky shared a love connection. So, as a blizzard ripped through the western Pennsylvania suburb of Pittsburgh, Angela Marinucci recruited her 5 friends; Ricky Smyrnes, Melvin Knight, Amber Meidinger, Robert Masters and Peggy Miller, to seek revenge on Jennifer Daugherty. Over the course of 3 days, these individuals, eventually dubbed the Greensburg 6, tortured and eventually murdered Jennifer Daugherty and left her naked body in a garbage can in the middle school parking lot. Join the Sword and Scale team as we interview the team of detectives, district and defense attorneys and the forensic pathologist tasked with uncovering the events that led to Jennifer's murder and eventually bringing justice to Jennifer and closure to her family.

Befriend and Betray

Befriend and Betray

Criminal organizations succeed by enforcing a strict code of trust and loyalty. To penetrate these organizations and gain access to their inner circles the police need a magic bullet. Alex Caine is that magic bullet. Only 30 years old, Alex, who grew up hard on the mean streets of Montreal, already brings a lifetime's worth of experience (foster care, military service, prison time) to the world's most dangerous occupation: professional gang infiltrator. His job is to befriend criminals, participate in their illegal activities, and gather evidence--then live long enough to testify against them in court. Inspired by real-life events, "Befriend and Betray" tells the story of Alex's first infiltration assignment: the case that transformed him from a rootless young man into a highly effective, defiantly unconventional crime-fighting resource. He is approached by P.C. Lau, a ruthlessly ambitious soldier for the Kam Tin Triad, who asks him to help his old prison acquaintance with a business proposition. Since Alex comes from Montreal and speaks French, P.C. figures that he's just the man to be the face of the Kam Tin as they try to move their heroin into eastern Canada. What P.C. doesn't realize is that Alex has been approached by the police and Criminal Intelligence Services who have asked him to say "yes" to P.C.'s proposal--thus giving them a long sought-after way into the Kam Tin. Complicating matters for Alex is the fact that his girlfriend Melanie has no idea that he's agreed to work for the police. Alex figures that the less she knows, the safer she'll be. But the more he lies to protect her, the more likely he is to lose the one person who sees him as more than just a valuable crime-fighting asset. Combining action, suspense, humour, and actual details drawn from the case files of Alex Caine, "Befriend and Betray" tells the story of one man's re-birth as an infiltrator--and his struggle to not lose his identity or his life along the way.
