Murder Shelf Book Club Podcast

In this special episode: Forty-two harrowing years on death row, former inmate William A. Noguera has a gripping story to share. In his chilling true-crime memoir, Through the Lens of a Monster: A Serial Killer on Death Row, an Unsolved Murder List, and an Inmate's Deadly Play for Redemption, he opens up to Jill about his life behind bars. While at San Quentin Penitentiary, Noguera courageously documented his conversations with notorious serial killers, risking everything to uncover the dark truths within their minds. This compelling discussion offers a rare glimpse into Noguera's unsettling psychological bond with Joseph Naso, the infamous Alphabet Killer, revealing unsolved murders linked to him. Noguera also shares insights into his personal relationships with other notorious names, such as Richard Ramirez (The Night Stalker), Lawrence Bittaker (The Toolbox Killer), and Rodney Alcala (The Dating Game Killer). Embracing a role as the "serial killer whisperer," Noguera turned his time in prison into an opportunity for growth, pursuing education and advocating for change. Now, with a law degree, he steps into the world on parole, determined to do the right thing, choosing a life of integrity and repentance. See William A.

Part 2: During the COVID-19 lockdown, Joell Fleming's adult children—Chip and his siblings—were prohibited from visiting their mother, who suffers from dementia. This left her entirely dependent on her caregiver, Esmarelda Gomez. As communication became increasingly difficult, Joell's children were often the last to learn about critical decisions being made regarding their mother's care, often without their knowledge. Esmarelda began to take a more dominant role in managing Joell's affairs, prompting Chip to initiate an investigation. He was determined to uncover what transpired during the final years of his mother's life, especially regarding the extreme violation of a vulnerable woman's trust. The Caregiver's Game is part true crime, part memoir, serving as a critical warning for anyone with older people in their lives.

Part 3: In this gripping conclusion, after a lengthy 16-year manhunt, the Mad Bomber, George Metesky, is finally apprehended in Waterbury, Connecticut, long after he unleashed a wave of terror across New York City with his dangerous bombings. The palpable relief among NYPD Captain Kinney and the Bomb Squad echoes through the halls of 'The Tombs,' a notoriously grim jail in Lower Manhattan, where Metesky is held. In the courtroom, a fierce contest unfolds between the psychiatrists assessing Metesky's mental state and a steadfast 'law and order' judge, resolute in his determination to see justice served. As a battle of wits and jurisdiction ensues, George's declining physical health raises urgent questions about his ability to stand trial. Caught in this agonizing limbo, he is committed to Matteawan Psychiatric Hospital, where the evolving laws surrounding sanity lead to an unforeseen resolution. Meanwhile, Dr. James Brussel, the visionary behind reverse psychology—now recognized as criminal profiling—delves into other cold cases, offering insights that unlock the identities of elusive suspects.

On March 30, 1981, a tragic and shocking incident unfolded in Washington, D.C., when a troubled young man named John Hinckley Jr. opened fire as President Ronald Reagan exited the Hilton Hotel. The chaotic scene resulted in the shooting of four individuals, with President Reagan being the prime tarrget. Hinckley was swiftly apprehended by law enforcement, and his severe mental illness led to his commitment at St. Elizabeth's Psychiatric Hospital, where he would spend an astounding 41 years grappling with his delusions and troubled psyche. Over the decades, commentators and experts have delved into Hinckley's complex mental health struggles and the motives behind his violent actions. Now, after 45 years, he has chosen to share his side of the story through a memoir titled Who I Really Am, co-authored with Jason Norman.
