WARREN True-crime author to speak on 'bungled' investigations

WARREN -- Former FBI agent and true crime author Jim Fisher returns to the Warren-Trumbull County Public Library for a 6:30 p.m. March 15 lecture concerning "Badly Bungled Criminal Investigations."
Fisher, professor emeritus of criminal justice at Edinboro University, Pa., will discuss the JonBenet Ramsey case, the Dr. Gulam Moonda turnpike murder, and the Erie, Pa., Pizza Bomber during his lecture at the Main Library, 444 Mahoning Ave. N.W.
Dr. Gulam Moonda, a prominent urologist, was killed by a single gunshot to the head in the presence of his wife and mother-in-law during a 2005 robbery on the Ohio Turnpike. No charges have been filed.
The Erie Pizza Bomber case remains perplexing. In 2003, a pizza delivery man was accosted and outfitted with a bomb collar, and told to rob a bank. After the crime, police surrounded the suspect -- and the bomb detonated. The case remains open.
Six-year-old JonBenet Ramsey was brutally murdered in her home on Christmas night in 1996. This high-profile homicide remains unsolved.
Will detail each case
Fisher will speak about the unsettling details of these cases and why he considers each to be poorly investigated and badly bungled, leaving them open and unsolved.
Fisher graduated from Vanderbilt University Law School in Tennessee and served with the FBI from 1966 to 1972. He is an active public speaker and the author of six nonfiction books.
The lecture is free and open to the public. Reservations are not required. For more information about library programs and services, visit the Web site at www.wtcpl.lib.oh.us or call (330) 399-8807, Ext. 128.
