Goodreads asked James Dalessandro:

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

James Dalessandro I don't know that there's a personal mystery - some crime, or great mysterious issue that would be worthy of a book. But as someone who finds interesting stories, there a few. I wrote about a group called Citizens Against Homicide ("Citizen Jane"), about an ordinary citizen who spent 13 years pursuing the man who murdered her aunt. She also founded a group called Citizens Against Homicide, and at the time of her death she was working on 500 cold case murders. Her partner in the organization, Jan Miller, has never found justice for her daughter Veronica who was murdered in Chico, California on June 28, 1984. It is described in detail in my book, but I"d sure like to write the sequel on how that case gets solved. It's yet to happen, sadly, but Jan and others will never give up.
