He somehow made it through without winding up more mental than the crackpots he tracked. However, his unvarnished, no-holds-barred account of news events reveals just how crazy-making a case can be when you are dead set on nailing the truth.“Here’s a tip for young reporters: Don’t beat the cops to a homicide. Crowds at murder scenes are sometimes wildly angry, drunk, high, confused and looking at a face that is decidedly out of place in their neighborhood. In those days we wore nice clothes, even ties, if not jackets, to a crime scene. ‘Who are you?’ they asked, figuring I must be a cop, because surely, no sane person would show up unarmed in the middle of a melee.” - Frank Stanfield🔮 Unlock The Vault!Become a ⭐️ Mysterian ⭐️ and get instant access to hundreds of ad-free, uncensored episodes — plus exclusive bonus editions..🎧 Start your FREE 7-day trial on Patreon: 👉 patreon.com/mysteriousradio🌐 Or visit mysteriousradio.com to join now!DOWNLOAD THE PATREON APP FOR IOSDOWNLOAD THE PATREON APP FOR ANDROID
