Originally from Alabama, I've always researched true crime cases. My passion for storytelling began as a child when I ripped and saved crime cases from the local newspaper and listened to my Grandma Romay's riveting true stories.
I began as a crime and movie blogger in the 1990s and was the first to compile a list of movies based on true stories and match them to the real people who inspired made-for-TV movies.
Between 2013 & 2017, I've written news for Examiner and Inquisitr. My research and articles have been the basis for over 20 true crime television series "episodes" and referenced in several books & podcasts.
In 2016, I founded TV Crime Sky and maintained the news site until 2021.
That same year (2021), my investigative piece Dead Darrius received over 1 million views on my YouTube channel. For that story, I investigated a decades-old urban legend to see if it was true.
Today, I research long-forgotten, untold true-crime mysteries you’ve never heard. And I still investigate movies based on true stories and the real cases that inspire them.
I attended Jefferson State Community College and The University of Alabama at Birmingham.
I am the mother of two children: Ivy Brook Walker (1st marriage) and ValentÃn Reyes (2nd marriage.) My husband, Teodoro Reyes, is from Veracruz, Mexico.
We've been married for 17 years. I speak fluent Spanish, and I dance Salsa and Cumbia!
