Crime Beat is pleased to announce a
double header this week - make sure you tune in Thursday at 8 - 9 p.m. EST
on the ArtistFirst World Radio Network ... our featured guests are Dan
Zupansky and Scott Bonn... you won't want to miss this one.
'Trophy Kill: the Shall We Dance Murder' by Dan Zupansky is visceral page turner. On July 1st, 2003 Susan Sarandon called police from the set of the Miramax movie 'Shall We Dance' to report the theft of some of her jewelry, including a gold necklace. The next day Sidney Teerhuis calmly walked into a police station to report waking from a drunken blackout to find his acquaintance dead in the bathtub. At the rented room police found the victim dismembered, beheaded, sawn in half, disemboweled and castrated with the chest sliced open and all of the internal organs gone! One eye had been removed and the body posed, crudely reassembled. Susan Sarandon's stolen gold necklace was found a few feet away from the murder-horror spectacle.
In his best selling book titled 'Mass
Deception' Scott Bonn lays out in great detail and with
documented, empirical evidence how Bush and his political elites planned
and engineered an illegal and immoral invasion of another sovereign
country from the most powerful office on earth for the most spurious of
reasons--even before 9-11 took place. It describes how they manufactured
evidence supporting charges of an imminent attack by Iraq and how they
brushed aside all evidence to the contrary when it didn't coincide with
their plans.
