I’ll be glad to talk rationally about this once I GET UP OFF THE FLOOR

There’s no better time to read than when you’re safer at home! My next @oprahsbookclub selection is “Hidden Valley Road: Inside the Mind of an American Family” by @bobkolker. It’s a riveting true story of an American family that reads like a medical detective journey.

Most of the reporting on scam compounds--where thousands of people are trafficked to run crypto scams--wouldn't have happened without @MechDara1. He should win journalism prizes. Instead he's imprisoned in Cambodia on bogus charges. Free Dara! Reporting is not a crime!

New from me: My December @TheAtlantic piece about a brutal miscarriage of justice in Hawaii now has a stunning coda that you simply won’t believe (or at least I didn’t)

The police found a real suspect in one of Hawaii’s most notorious modern-day murders—only to let him slip through their fingers. @bobkolker on the story of a murder investigation that’s been going wrong for 33 years: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

This story only gets wilder -- update is coming

Authorities say they have identified the man who murdered Dana Ireland in 1991. Last year, @bobkolker explored how the investigation into one of the most infamous killings in Hawaii’s history went so wrong: theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
