Billy Jensen is the guy who helped finish Michelle McNamara’s true crime book, I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, which was published after her death in 2016. In 2018 that book went on to win a number of awards. It’s the story of hunting down the Golden State Killer. A suspect was finally arrested shortly after the book was released .

This is Billy’s story of how he got involved with solving crimes, particularly murders, and went on to develop a social media technique and following to become a highlight in the world of citizen-crime solvers. There are numerous murders described by Jensen,  mostly unsolved which is heartbreaking. But once in a very great while a murder is solved, the. murder gets apprehended, and a family gets closure. Kudos. .
