The House of Mystery Radioshow has been on the air for ten years, broadcasting in over a dozen cities in the U.S. It started as a way to interview guests knowledgeable in many of the world’s mysteries involving crime, science, religion, history, paranormal, conspiracies, etc. Voices of True Crime series is a curated collection of interviews from the show. Each volume focuses on an actual criminal case, or several, providing the background and reproducing the main points discussed in the interviews. This series is an excellent reference for researchers and a good overview for those unfamiliar with the case.Volume 1 covers the O.J. Simpson murder case. Over the last century, there have been plenty of trials called “The Trial of the Century,” but of all mentioned, the O.J. Simpson case rose well above the rest. The fact that the accused murderer was a high-profile athlete and celebrity was almost enough to reach that status, but then the brutality of the murders made the world stagger. Throw in the fact that modern technology allowed every aspect of the case to be televised worldwide, including the infamous slow-speed chase and his sensational trial, and it’s no wonder this case achieved that title.
House of Mystery interviewed several key players involved in this case: Marcia Clark, the lead prosecutor in the trial; F. Lee Bailey, one of Simpson’s “Dream Team” of lawyers; Kim Goldman, sister of victim Ron Goldman; Norman Pardo, Simpson’s manager for 15 years who whole-heartedly believes a serial killer murdered Nicole and Ron; and Andy Caldwell, the detective who questioned and arrested Simpson for the robbery in Vegas. Online links to the actual interviews are included.
A substantial number of our radio show’s interviews revolve around true crime. So, we created this sub-series, Voices of True Crime. Like the other Interviews series, we review the most accepted explanation of the case. Then, we follow up with each theory presented during our interviews with the person or people reporting them. Each book lays out the case details and then follows up with what we’ve learned from each guest.
Like the others in the House of Mystery Radio Show Interviews Series, this book does not attempt to solve the case but only reviews it. There will be no committed answer at the end of the book. We aim to concisely review the extraordinary things we learned during the show’s interviews. It is an excellent reference for researchers and a good overview for people who don’t know the topic well. Similar to the other volumes in this series, only the highlights of each interview will be included. All these interviews and more are available to listen to on my website: www.alanrwarren.com/hom-podcast-episodes.
