About

I was one of the first reporters on scene at Columbine and am coming out with a definitive book on the shootings, Columbine: A True Crime Story, a victim, the killers and the nation’s search for answers on April 1, 2009.

I have broken national stories on the shootings such as leaked crime scene photos and the sealed diversion files of the killers, and have respectively triggered a Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office investigation and a subpoena.

I have been a regular contributor to Boston Globe, Christian Science Monitor, US News & World Report, and Newsday, and have written for Chicago Tribune, Dallas Morning News, and Los Angeles Times on national stories out of Colorado and the West. I have also appeared on CNN, Court TV, FoxNews, PBS, E! True Hollywood Story, and radio, and have taught the history of journalism at Denver University and Metropolitan State College of Denver.
