    Dr. Jeffrey Smalldon has corresponded with some of the most infamous killers in United States history.

    That habit started long before he became a distinguished forensic psychologist, an expert on what makes killers tick.

    In his new book, That Beast Was Not Me: One Forensic Psychologist, Five Decades of Conversations with Killers, Jeff delves into his correspondence with infamous killers and figures like Charles Manson, Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, and more.

  • The Murder of Joseph Gatto: An Interview with His Son Mike Gatto

    The Murder of Joseph Gatto: An Interview with His Son Mike Gatto
    Nov 30 2025

    On November 13, 2013, 78-years-old Joseph Gatto was discovered dead in his home in the Silver Lake community of Los Angeles, California. The grandfather and artist had been shot in the abdomen.

    His son Mike served for years in the California State Assembly. But after that day, Mike became immersed in the investigation into his father's murder. Today, the case remains unsolved. But Mike has revealed inside information on the case in his new book, Noir by Necessity: How My Father's Unsolved Murder Took Me to Dark Places.

    The book is a necessary look into the agony and confusion that victims' loved ones go through, as well as an incisive look at this case and what went wrong with the investigation.
