About the Author
Billy Jensen is a true crime journalist focused squarely on unsolved murders and missing persons. But after 17 years of writing hundreds of stories with no endings, he was fed up--and decided to try and solve the murders himself using radical social media techniques. And it worked. Billy has solved or helped solve ten homicides. Law enforcement agencies now reach out to Billy to help in cases that have them stumped, using him as a "consulting digital detective," or as Men's Journal referred to him: The Facebook Detective. After his friend Michelle McNamara suddenly passed away in 2016, Billy helped finish her book on the Golden State Killer, I'll Be Gone in the Dark, alongside her researcher Paul Haynes and her husband Patton Oswalt.He has written crime stories for Rolling Stone, Los Angeles Magazine and the Long Island Press, and is one half of the podcast Jensen & Holes: The Murder Squad, with former cold case investigator Paul Holes, and one third of The First Degree podcast.
