Every Killer Leaves A Trace: The Fatal Mistakes That Finally Exposed America’s Most Elusive Killers

Mistakes Murderers Can’t Erase. Cold Cases Cracked Wide Open.

They blended in. They raised families, held steady jobs, and hid in plain sight. But behind the mask of normalcy, they were monsters—responsible for decades of terror, pain, and death.

Every Killer Leaves A Trace is a chilling narrative nonfiction thriller that exposes moments that led to the shocking unmasking and ultimate capture of twenty-six of America’s most elusive killers. From accidental slips to cutting-edge forensic breakthroughs, each chapter reveals how justice caught up with murderers who thought they’d never be found.

Meticulously researched and drawn from court records, autopsy reports, FBI case files, and firsthand interviews with investigators and victims’ families, this book is a haunting journey through deception, violence, and the relentless pursuit of truth.

These are not just stories of murder. They are blueprints of how justice, though often delayed, is never truly denied.

They got away with murder—until they didn’t.

OUT OF BOUNDS: From Broken NBA Dreams to Redemption

A Powerful Memoir of Talent, Tragedy, and Triumph

From NBA Ban to Beacon of Hope: One Man’s Second Chance

A story of extraordinary talent, devastating loss, and ultimate triumph.

Highly promising basketball player Chris Washburn was selected third overall in the 1986 NBA Draft by the Golden State Warriors. But a chance encounter with famed basketball player Len Bias introduced him to crack cocaine.

Soon, the overwhelming temptations of fame, fortune, and drugs derailed his promising career. And by 1989, after failing his third drug test, Chris was banned from the NBA. His life then spiraled into addiction, homelessness, incarceration, and near-death experiences.

Yet, in 2000, a turning point came when he lost his father. This loss fueled Chris's resolve to change. With incredible strength and determination, he fought back from the depths of addiction.

Today, Chris is a beacon of hope and resilience. He is a motivational speaker, entrepreneur, and advocate, inspiring others with his journey of recovery from addiction, and redemption. From speaking to youth groups and drug rehab centers to sharing his powerful story with the NBA, Chris is now making a positive difference in the world.

Co-written with bestselling author Ron Chepesiuk, OUT OF BOUNDS: From Broken NBA Dreams to Redemption describes in dramatic, heart-wrenching detail Chris's remarkable journey, which included finding his birth mother, and proves that it's never too late to rise again.

FELON O'REILLY LIVE ON TRUE CRIME UNCENSORED THIS SATURDAY

Felon O'Reilly - A man of convictions live this Saturday 2pm PT

Felon O'Reilly was a career criminal but he wasn't particularly successful. His only potential retirement opportunity was an extended stay in a state or federal prison.  They say  crime doesn't pay, but the hours are good and you meet interesting people. The same folks you meet on the way up the criminal ladder are the same folks waiting for you at the bottom. All of them looking for someone to blame.  Blame, as Burl Barer says, is only important to drunks and lawyers -- often the same thing. 

You know Felon is more daring and dangerous now than he was then -- now he's brave enough to return to True Crime Uncensored on Outlaw Radio Live to be grilled like a swordfish by Burl Barer, Howard Lapides, and perhaps even our fact checker, Mark Boyer.

SATURDAY 2PM PT  LIVE ON TRUE CRIME UNCENSORED ON OUTLAWRADIOLIVE.COM . CLICK THIS LINK TO LISTEN LIVE  "A deeply moving story of powerful devotion."  —Anthony Flacco, New York Times Bestselling Author

The moment he found out his brother was missing and presumed dead, Ted Kergan launched a relentless effort to bring two suspected killers—a teenaged-prostitute and her much older drifter boyfriend—to justice and find Gary Kergan’s body. Little did he know his quest would consume a fortune and take thirty years to reach its dramatic conclusion. Thwarted at first by the fact that his brother’s body could not be located and a new district attorney reluctant to prosecute as a result, Kergen had to keep track of the killers from New Orleans’ notorious French Quarter to Las Vegas and points in between and wait for a break in the case that seemed like it would never come. Then nearly thirty years later, science, detective work and especially a brother's love and tenacity would combine for a resolution that would end in a dramatic trial in which one of the killers' diary would be a star witness.

Ann Marie Ackermann LIVE Saturday 2pm PT - Death of an Assassin

Ann Marie Ackerman moved from Seattle, Washington to Germany, no doubt simply to get further away from the Legendary Burl Barer who was a radio hero in the same state where Ms Ackerman was Assistant Attorney General. No, she never prosecuted him.  There are, however,  rumours of a fleeting romance or a no-injury fender bender on the Aurora Bridge. Ackerman is on an American tour promoting her impressive debut historic true crime book, Death of an Assassin.

The first volunteer killed defending Robert E. Lee’s position in battle was really a German assassin. After fleeing to the United States to escape prosecution for murder, the assassin enlisted in a German company of the Pennsylvania Volunteers in the Mexican-American War and died defending Lee’s battery at the Siege of Veracruz in 1847. 

Lee wrote a letter home, praising this unnamed fallen volunteer defender. Military records identify him, but none of the Americans knew about his past life of crime.

Before fighting with the Americans, Lee’s defender had assassinated Johann Heinrich Rieber, mayor of Bönnigheim, Germany, in 1835. Rieber’s assassination became 19th-century Germany’s coldest case ever solved by a non–law enforcement professional and the only 19th-century German murder ever solved in the United States. Thirty-seven years later, another suspect in the assassination who had also fled to America found evidence in Washington, D.C., that would clear his own name, and he forwarded it to Germany. The German prosecutor Ernst von Hochstetter corroborated the story and closed the case file in 1872, naming Lee’s defender as Rieber’s murderer.

Relying primarily on German sources, Death of an Assassin tracks the never-before-told story of this German company of Pennsylvania volunteers. It follows both Lee’s and the assassin’s lives until their dramatic encounter in Veracruz and picks up again with the surprising case resolution decades later.

This case also reveals that forensic ballistics—firearm identification through comparison of the striations on a projectile with the rifling in the barrel—is much older than previously thought. History credits Alexandre Laccasagne for inventing forensic ballistics in 1888. But more than 50 years earlier, Eduard Hammer, the magistrate who investigated the Rieber assassination in 1835, used the same technique to eliminate a forester’s rifle as the murder weapon. A firearms technician with state police of Baden-Württemberg tested Hammer’s technique in 2015 and confirmed its efficacy, cementing the argument that Hammer, not Laccasagne, should be considered the father of forensic ballistics.

The roles the volunteer soldier/assassin and Robert E. Lee played at the Siege of Veracruz are part of American history, and the record-breaking, 19th-century cold case is part of German history. For the first time, Death of an Assassin brings the two stories together.
