About the author
Billy Jensen
14 books798 followersAn American true crime investigative journalist and producer, focusing on unsolved crimes, citizen detectives, and crowdsolving, I’ve written crime stories for Rolling Stone, Los Angeles Magazine, Boston Magazine, and the New York Times. Referred to as an expert on amateur digital detectives by both MSNBC and Al Jazeera America, I presented the panel “Solving Murders With Social Media” at the SXSW Interactive and the National Cybercrime Conference. During the day you can find me working as a supervising producer and special investigator at the Warner Bros. program Crime Watch Daily, where I run all digital operations for the program. At night, you can find me working on my next case, representing justice so far as my feeble powers go.
In the past, I co-founded the Long Island Press newspaper, True Crime Report, and the largest public unsolved murders database. I earned a master’s degree in religious studies from the University of Kansas and played professional roller hockey (earning the first minor penalty in Major League Roller Hockey history). I am also a sought after digital media consultant, having been general manager of Buzzmedia and head of digital at Village Voice Media, overseeing the digital transformation of 17 alternative weeklies.

Superficial survival guide. What it lacks in useful survival information it makes up for in interesting photos of John Wayne in various film roles and relaxing in real life. Many films I never heard of and I thought I’d seen all his old films.
