About the Author



Steve and Jon became allies against evil for the first time in 2001. Their professional paths led them both to a homicide investigation in Chesterfield County, Virginia. As the Watch Commander, the accomplished senior officer was delivering the press briefing to the local media.



Steve was immediately impressed with the young fellow who set up the CBS 6 camera. The questions he posed were relevant, logical, and right on point. It was obvious that the self-assured, youthful newsman was both prepared and poised. The confidence and professionalism caught the veteran lawman’s interest.



Since that first fateful encounter, the Lawman and the Crime Reporter have collaborated on many high-profile assignments. Jon often relies on Steve to be his expert crime analyst when it comes to producing crime and cold case stories for local news programming. Steve offers insight and analysis that gets straight to the point and turns out to be “dead on” 99.9 percent of the time.



Shared work values and skills facilitate a deep respect between Jon and Steve that has blossomed into a great friendship.
